MitoChem Therapeutics states that mitochondrial dysfunction is a key driver of ocular and other neurodegenerative diseases and that mitochondrial protective therapeutics can address these conditions. The company presents its work as developing treatments for hard-to-treat neurodegenerative diseases, especially those causing vision loss such as retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
SourceMitoChem Therapeutics states that mitochondrial dysfunction is an important driver of neurodegenerative disease and that mitochondrial-protective therapeutics can be developed to address its effects, particularly in ocular disorders. The company presents its compounds as promising treatments for vision loss in retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma, with the overarching goal of preserving sight.
