Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

Abstract Mitochondrial oxidative stress is a key pathologic factor in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Abnormal generation of reactive oxygen species, resulting from mitochondrial dysfunction, can lead to neuronal cell death. Ceria (CeO2) nanoparticles are known to function as strong and recyclable ROS scavengers by shuttling between Ce3+ and Ce4+ oxidation states. Consequently, targeting ceria nanoparticles selectively to mitochondria might be a promising therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we report the design and synthesis of triphenylphosphonium-conjugated ceria nanoparticles that localize to mitochondria and suppress neuronal death in 5XFAD transgenic Alzheimer’s disease mouse model. The triphenylphosphonium-conjugated

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common types of dementia and affects approximately 10% of people aged 65 years or more. The major pathological indicators of AD comprise the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in brain.1,2 Although numerous studies imply the presence of crosstalk between Aβ and various molecular signaling pathways, the exact mechanism how Aβ potentiates AD pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated yet.3-6 Additionally, Aβ-induced mitochondrial dysfunction also has been known to be a possible cause of AD through abnormal production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide.7,8 Mitochondria are elongated membrane organelles that are found in the cytoplasm of cells and have a diameter and a height of 0.5-1 µm and 1-10 µm, respectively. Mitochondria supply cells with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation process to maintain cellular energy homeostasis. ROS byproducts generated during this process can cause mitochondrial dysfunctions, such as DNA mutation and promotion of intrinsic apoptosis pathways.9-11 Although the molecular basis of the impaired mitochondrial functions in AD is still far from being comprehended, several previous studies revealed that the production of ROS is involved with the interactions of Aβ peptides in mitochondria with resident proteins, such as cyclophilin D, alcohol dehydrogenase, and ATP synthase.12-14 Since this kind of ROS-induced mitochondrial dysfunctions precedes the Aβ plaque build-up in brain, the hallmark of AD,15,16 therapeutic agents that can protect mitochondria against oxidative stress from ROS would be very useful for the prevention and early-stage treatment of AD. For example, some mitochondria-specific antioxidants, including MitoQ and SS31, are known to work effectively against AD-related oxidative stress and synaptic dysfunctions.17-19

Ceria (CeO2) nanoparticles less than 5 nm are known to exhibit ROS scavenging activity in a recyclable way by reversible binding of oxygen atoms and shuttling between the Ce3+ (reduced) and Ce4+ (oxidized) states on their surface.20-22 They have been successfully applied to protect cells against superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, which are two predominant forms of ROS, using their superoxide dismutase-mimetic and catalase-mimetic activities, respectively.20-22 Various therapeutic potentials of the ceria nanoparticles also have been demonstrated for neuroand cardio-protection, wound healing, and treatment of chronic inflammation, cancer, and ocular disorders.23-27 In particular, small ceria nanoparticles (
