A small peptide known for its potential to enhance cognitive function and promote neurogenesis

Mitochondria is a key player in free radical generation consistent with impairment in electron transport chain (ETC) that, if endures, may lead to cellular redox imbalance and mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of renal diseases.54 The amphiphilic nature of melatonin allows it to cross all morphological or physiological barriers to diffuse into the variety of sub-cellular compartments.5557 However, melatonin has shown preferential deposition in membranes and mitochondria.58 The superior ability of melatonin to accumulate into the mitochondria makes it an attractive antioxidant to treat oxidative stress related pathologies as compare to conventional antioxidants with poor mitochondrial penetration such as co-enzyme Q10 and tocopherol.59 Conversely, melatonin has also been found to stimulate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at mitochondrial complex III (MC-III).60 Interestingly, the reduction in this pro-oxidant effect has been implicated in development of diabetic nephropathy due to impaired ETC at the MC-III level and its discordant regulation as compare to hyperactive mitochondrial complex I (MC-I).61 Overall, melatonin has been found to prevent the leakage of election or subsequent free radicals generation in mitochondrial respiration that makes it a mitochondrial stabilizer.62 Antioxidant property of melatonin counteract the membrane lipid peroxidation to stabilize the mitochondrial inner membrane potential and also protects the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and ETC proteins from free radical induced structural or functional impairments to preserve the normal ATP generation or mitochondrial homeostasis.6365 Melatonin has been found to protect the biological membranes from oxidative stress induced rigidity and preserve their optimal fluidity that may also corroborate the melatonin's ability to prevent the loss of mitochondrial inner membrane potential, opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and subsequent release of apoptotic mediators such as cytochrome C and caspases.64,66,67 Consistently, melatonin abrogates the mitochondria derived intrinsic apoptosis process by limiting the Bax activation, cytochrome C efflux and caspases expression to ameliorate the morphological damages in proximal tubules of kidneys.68 Therefore, due to its diversity in protective mechanisms, melatonin has been extensively studied and suggested for its ability to mitigate the oxidative stress and subsequent inflammatory process in nephrotoxicity of drugs discussed below
