General description

A cell-permeable oxygen bridged dinuclear ruthenium amine complex that has been shown to bind to mitochondria with high affinity (Kd = 0.34 nM) and specifically blocks Ca2+ uptake into mitochondria in vitro (IC50 = 184 pM) and in situ in intact myocytes (for complete block after incubation with ~10 µM of Ru360 for 30 min. Does not affect other cellular Ca2+ transport processes involved in cardiac muscle contraction even at micromolar levels.

Photoreceptors are specialized neurons that rely on Ca2+ to regulate phototransduction and neurotransmission. Photoreceptor dysfunction and degeneration occur when intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis is disrupted. Ca2+ homeostasis is maintained partly by mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake through the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU), which
