A list of compounds that target mitochondria to modulate matrix volume.

Name Mechanism of Action Reference
mPTP inhibitors
Cyclosporin A Inhibits CypD-ANT interaction and blocks mPTP opening [105,106]
Sanglifehrin A Inhibits CypD activity and CypD-ANT/PiC interaction, and blocks mPTP opening [105,106,107]
N-methyl-4-isoleucine-cyclosporin (NIM811) Inhibits CypD activity, and blocks mPTP opening; has no immunosuppressive activity [108,109]
Bongkrekic acid Inhibits ANT and prevents mPTP opening [110]
Alisporivir (Debio-025) Inhibits CypD activity, and blocks mPTP opening; has no immunosuppressive activity [111]
Mitochondrial Ca2+ channel inhibitors
Ru360 and Ru265 MCU inhibitors, prevent mitochondrial Ca2+ overload [112,113]
Mitochondrial K+ channel modulators
Diazoxide mKATP opener, which increases K+ efflux from the matrix into the IMS leading to IMM hyperpolarization [114,115]
Gibenclamide mKATP opener channels, which leads to depolarization of the cells and insulin secretion [116]
5-Hydroxydecanoate mKATP inhibitor [117]
NS11021 and NS1619 mBKCa activators [118]
Paxilline and Iberiotoxin mBKCa inhibitors [119,120]
DCEBIO An activator of intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (IKCa1/KCa3.1) [121]
Retigabine and Flupirtine Kv7.2–7.5 (KCNQ2–5) openers [122,123]
XE991 Kv7 (KCNQ) channel blocker [124]
