Background:

Mdivi-1 is a selective cell-permeable inhibitor of mitochondrial division DRP1 (dynamin-related GTPase) and mitochondrial division Dynamin I (Dnm1). DRP1, a member of the dynamin family of large GTPases, mediates mitochondrial fission.

In vitro: The most efficacious inhibitor, mdivi-1 attenuates mitochondrial division in yeast and mammalian cells by selectively inhibiting the mitochondrial Drp1-mediated division dynamin. Mdivi-1 potently blocks Bid-activated Bax/Bak-dependent cytochrome c release from mitochondria [1].

In vivo: Mdivi-1 treatment blocked apoptotic cell death in ischemic retina, and significantly increased RGC survival at 2 weeks after ischemia. Moreover, Mdivi-1 treatment did not change this increase of Drp1 protein expression but significantly decreased GFAP protein expression [2].

Clinical trial: Currently no clinical data are available.
