Visomitin (SKQ1; plastoquinonyl decyltriphenyl phosphonium; PDTP) is a higly potent mitochondria-targeted antioxidant and topical cardiolipin peroxidation inhibitor with excellent mitochondrion membrane penetrating ability. SKQ1 is also an active pharmaceutical ingredient/API for making eye drop drug called Visomitin. SKQ1 showed activities as follows: (1) to prevent amyloid-β-induced impairment of long-term potentiation in rat hippocampal slices; (2) to reverse aging-related biomarkers in rats; (3) to slow down the development of age-dependent destructive processes in retina and vascular layer of eyes of wistar and OXYS rats; (4) to increase the lifespan of male rodents under LP or SPF conditions. SKQ1 can penetrate cell membranes , and is proposed as an anti-aging treatment. Visomitin, which API is SKQ1, is currently under clinical trials for treating glaucoma in Russia. For the convenience of use, SKQ1 is supplied as solution of 200mg / mL in ethanol-water (1:1, v/v). As of Dec 2021, FDA has granted orphan drug designation (ODD) for Visomitin for the treatment of Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare inherited condition that can lead to blindness.
ln Vitro |
Visomitin (SkQ1) administration of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes does not affect their cytotoxicity against Panc02 cells. At 500 nM concentration, visomitin significantly inhibits the growth of human PDAC cells while having no effect on the viability of the cell lines[1].

ln Vivo |
In reference to systemic angiogenic factors, KC is shown to be lower in the group receiving continuous therapy with visomitin (SkQ1) in the serum of mice having pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Visomitin treatment raises the quantity of VEGF molecules in the mice. Prolactin and MIP1a levels are lowered following the follow-up treatment or in all Visomitin treatment groups, respectively. Furthermore, IL-6 and IL-13 levels are higher in the groups that received visomitin treatment. The pretreatment setting results in a decrease in TGF-b levels. Conversely, every Visomitin treatment plan reduces the percentage of NKT cells. The PDAC-bearing mice's median survival has increased with Visomitin treatment, however the change is not statistically significant[1].

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.05 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
