Table.1.

Table showing the different chemical compounds, drugs and their targets in mitochndria. These drugs and chemical compounds targeting the oxidative stress pathways, neuroinflammatory pathways, some of targeting electron transport chain. These drugs and compounds are widely used for the study of neurodegenerative disease.
