Mitochondrially targeted vitamin E succinate (MitoVES) has enhanced pro-apoptotic and anti-cancer activities. It caused apoptosis and generation of ROS in CII-proficient malignant cells but not their CII-dysfunctional counterparts. It inhibited SDH activity of CII with IC50 of 80 mu M and electron transfer from CII to CIII with IC50 of 1.5 mu M. Molecular modeling predicted its succinyl group anchored into the proximal CII ubiquinone (UbQ)-binding site and reduced interaction energies for its serially shorter phytyl chain homologs correlated with their lower effects on apoptosis induction, ROS generation, and SDH activity. Mutation of the UbQ-binding Ser(68) within the proximal site of the CII SDHC subunit suppressed both ROS generation and apoptosis induction by it. We propose that mitochondrial targeting of VES with an 11-carbon chain localizes the agent into an ideal position across the interface of the mitochondrial inner membrane and matrix, optimizing its anti-cancer effect
