Abstract
The invention provides mitochondrially targeted antioxidant compounds comprising a lipophilic cation moiety covalently coupled to an antioxidant moiety which is either a superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic or a glutathione peroxidase mimetic. These compounds can be used to treat patients who would benefit from the reduction of oxidative stress.
