    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods for treating muscular dystrophy (MD), such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) or Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) in a mammalian subject. The methods are particularly useful for treating, inhibiting, reducing, ameliorating or delaying the onset of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure and/or cardiac fibrosis in subjects diagnosed with, and/or being treated for, MD.The methods comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of a peptide such as H-D-Arg-2,6-Dmt-Lys-PHe-NH2 (a.k.a. elamipretide), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate and/or tautomer thereof, optionally in combination with at least one other active ingredient (i.e. drug) such a corticosteroid, ACE inhibitor, ARB(s), beta-blocker or drug that increases or corrects the expression of dystrophin in the subject (e.g. Eteplirsen (Exondys 51®), Golodirsen (Vyondys 53™)) or Casimersen (Amondys 45™).

    Abstract: The disclosure provides therapeutic compounds, compositions (e.g., therapeutic agents or medicaments) and methods for preventing or treating mitochondrial disease such as Friedreich's ataxia in a mammalian subject, reducing risk factors, signs and/or symptoms associated with mitochondrial disease, such as Friedreich's ataxia, and/or reducing the likelihood or severity of mitochondrial disease such as Friedreich's ataxia. The disclosure further provides novel intermediates for the production of said therapeutic compositions. In some instances, the intermediates may themselves by therapeutic agents or prodrugs of therapeutic agents (e.g. reduced forms of the therapeutic compounds).
