The Role of Mitochondria in Pharmacotoxicology • “The role of mitochondria in pharmacotoxicology: a reevaluation of an old, newly emerging topic” (R. Scatena, et al, Am. J. Physiol. Cell Physiol, 293, C12-C21, 2007) points out: • Some antiviral nucleoside analogs display mitochondrial toxicity by inhibiting DNA polymerase-γ. • The more hydrophobic NSAIDs act as UOP. • Some mitochondrial toxicity of drugs depends upon free radical production.
Mitochondria in QSAR • 149 equations dealing with mitochondria • 1290 unique chemical structures • Available as a SMILES file on www.biobyte.com • 26 equations containing 6-X-2,4-dinitro-phenols
Beginnings of Cellular Life • In Beginnings of Cellular Life, Harold Morowitz (Yale University Press, 1992) says: “spontaneous formation of closed membrane vesicles was the initiating event in cellular evolution.” • They maintain separate stable phases in an aqueous environment. • They maintain different chemical compositions between intra- and extra-cellular compartments. • They maintain substantial trans-bilayer electrical voltages, pH differences, and oxidation potentials.
Mitochondria Chloroplasts • The result of Intelligent Design, says Michael Behe (?)Are we intelligent enough to refrain from injuring them?

Consequence of Mitochondrial Dysfunction • Production of ROS (e.g. H2O2) from non-phosphorylating respiration results in oxidative stress. • Disability of aging most commonly ascribed to this oxidative stress • mDNA not as well protected nor as easily repaired as nDNA • Mit.-dysfunction signaled to nucleus via RR (retrograde response) but this fails thru extensive use. • In simpler life forms (yeast, C.elegans) a deficiency in complex IV (cytochrome-c) lengthens life span, but "quality of life" not a concern. • Could be a major factor in degenerative diseases: Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, neuropathy, myopathy, Type II Diabetes. etc.
