Idebenone (pronounced eye-deb-eh-known, trade names Catena and Sovrima) is an experimental drug, initially developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive defects.[1] This has been met with limited success. The Swiss company Santhera Pharmaceuticals has started to investigate it for the treatment of neuromuscular diseases. As of May 2010, early clinical trials for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia[2] and Duchenne muscular dystrophy[3] have been completed. Chemically, idebenone is an organic compound of the quinone family. It is also promoted commercially as a synthetic analog of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

Uses

Pharmaceutical indications

Nootropic effects and Alzheimer's disease

Idebenone improved learning and memory in experiments with mice.[4] In humans, evaluation of Surrogate endpoints like electroretinography, auditory evoked potentials and visual analogue scales also suggested positive nootropic effects,[5] but larger studies with hard endpoints are missing.

Research on idebenone as a potential therapy of Alzheimer's disease have been inconsistent, but there may be a trend for a slight benefit.[6][7] In May 1998, the approval for this indication was cancelled in Japan due to the lack of proven effects. In some European countries, the drug is available for the treatment of individual patients in special cases.[1]

Friedreich's ataxia

Preliminary testing has been done in humans and found idebenone to be a safe treatment for Friedreich's ataxia, exhibiting a positive effect on cardiac hypertrophy and neurological function.[8] The latter was only significantly improved in young patients.[9] In a different experiment, a one-year test on eight patients, idebenone reduced the rate of deterioration of cardiac function, but without halting the progression of ataxia.[10]

Duchenne muscular dystrophy

After experiments in mice[11] and preliminary studies in humans, idebenone has entered Phase II clinical trials in 2005[3] and Phase III trials in 2009.[12]

Other neuromuscular diseases

Phase I and II clinical trials for the treatment of MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes)[13] and primary progressive multiple sclerosis[14] are recruiting patients as of May 2010, a study investigating Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy is under way.[15]

Life style

Idebenone is claimed to have properties similar to CoQ10 in its antioxidant properties, and has therefore been used in anti-aging on the basis of free-radical theory. Clinical evidence for this use is missing. It has been used in topical applications to treat wrinkles.[16]

Pharmacology

Idebenone inhibits lipoperoxide formation.[17]

History

On July 23, 2008, Health Canada issued a Notice of Compliance under the Notice of Compliance with Conditions (NOC/c) Policy to Santhera Pharmaceuticals (Switzerland) for the drug product Catena. The product was authorized under the NOC/c Policy on the basis of the promising nature of the clinical evidence, and the need for a confirmatory study to verify its clinical benefit. Patients should be advised of the fact that the market authorization was issued with conditions.
