Treatment Approaches • Vitamin cocktails [1] and exercise regimes [2] ineffective • Partially and temporary rescue biochemical and clinical defects • Overall aim = Permanently reduce mutated mtDNA proportion to SUBTHRESHOLD LEVELS … so THERAPY STILL REMAINS ELUSIVE [1] B.

Treatment Approaches • Vitamin cocktails [1] and exercise regimes [2] ineffective • Partially and temporary rescue biochemical and clinical defects • Overall aim = Permanently reduce mutated mtDNA proportion to SUBTHRESHOLD LEVELS … so THERAPY STILL REMAINS ELUSIVE • Manipulation of the heteroplasmy levels via an antigenomic approach [3] • Antigenomic molecule selectively inhibit propagation of mutated mtDNA species • Replication of the WT species only • Overtime, the cellular defect rescued and in theory at least disease progression reversed [1] B.

Properties of the ANTIGENOMIC AGENT • Hydrophilic (happily reside within cells), • Lipophilic (import) BUT not too lipophilic (bound within membranes) • Bind specifically and strongly to intended target (singly mismatch significantly affect binding ability) • Inhibit mtDNA polymerase γ
