Using high-throughput screening we identified small molecules that suppress superoxide and/or H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production during reverse electron transport through mitochondrial respiratory complex I (site I<sub>Q</sub>) without affecting oxidative phosphorylation (suppressors of site I<sub>Q</sub> electron leak, "S1QELs"). S1QELs diminished endogenous oxidative damage in primary astrocytes cultured at ambient or low oxygen tension, showing that site I<sub>Q</sub> is a normal contribut ...[more]
