Methods of treating or suppressing mitochondrial diseases, such as Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactacidosis, and stroke (MELAS), Kearns-Sayre Syndrome (KSS), are disclosed, as well as compounds useful in the methods of the invention, such as 4-(p-quinolyl)-2-hydroxybutanamide derivatives. Methods and compounds useful in treating other disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and pervasive developmental disorders such as autism are also disclosed. Energy biomarkers useful in assessing the metabolic state of a subject and the efficacy of treatment are also disclosed. Methods of modulating, normalizing, or enhancing energy biomarkers, as well as compounds useful for such methods, are also disclosed.

4-(p-quinonyl)-2-hydroxybutanamide derivatives for treatment of mitochondrial diseases

Disclosed herein are methods of treating or suppressing a disorder selected from the group consisting of &#x3b1;-synucleinopathies, tauopathies, ALS, traumatic brain injury, and ischemic-reperfusion related injuries.ury, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula: or the hydroquinone form thereof; or a solvate or hydrate thereof.

2,3,5-trimethyl-6-nonylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione for suppressing and treating alpha-synucleinopathies, tauopathies, and other disorders

Provided herein are methods for making an alpha-tocotrienol enriched tocol mixture, such as from a plant or plant-derived material. Also provided herein are simulated moving bed purification methods for tocotrienol compounds such as alpha tocotrienol.

4-(P-quinonyl)-2-hydroxybutanamide derivatives for treatment of mitochondrial diseases

A method of producing alpha-tocotrienol quinone or a stereoisomer thereof, the method comprising selective opening of alpha-tocotrienol chroman to alpha-tocotrienol quinone in the presence of non-alpha tocotrienol chromans by oxidizing alpha-to-cotrienol with a metal salt oxidizing agent, wherein the stoichiometric ratio of metal salt oxidizing agent/alpha-tocotrienol is at least 4:1 and wherein said metal oxidizing agent is added in sequential additions, in order to reduce oxidation of any amounts of non-alpha tocotrienol chromans that might have been present in the starting alpha-tocotrienol chroman material. This process uses conditions favoring oxidation rates of the alpha tocotrienol chroman vs. the non-alpha tocotrienol chromans.
