Biochem/physiol Actions Mdivi-1 is a cell-permeable selective inhibitor of mitochondrial division DRP (dynamin-related GTPase) and inhibitor of the mitochondrial division dynamin (Dnm1). Mitochondrial fusion and division play important roles in the regulation of apoptosis. Mdivi-1 is the first selective inhibitor of mitochondrial division dynamins. In principle, Mdivi-1 represents a class of therapeutics for stroke, myocardial infarction, and neurodegenerative diseases. |
