Abrégé
Inventors have succeeded in identifying compounds comprising a nitrofuranyl moiety having the advantage of compensating mitochondrial dysfunction associated with both primary and secondary MICOS stability defects. These compounds are thus useful in preventing mitochondrial dysfunction associated with CHCHD10 mutations. Accordingly, the present invention relates to the use of nifuroxazide and its derivatives in the treatment of disorders associated with the disorganisation of the MICOS complex (MItochondrial contact site and Cristae Organizing System) and mitochondrial dysfunction such as mitochondrial disorders, in particular myopathy and cardiomyopathy, and neurodegenerative diseases, in particular motor neuron disease (including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Abrégé
Using primary mouse neuronal cultures and mouse models, the present inventors have highlighted the role of a new effector, BRAWNIN, in neuronal metabolic balance and cortical axon branching. The present inventors have shown that BRAWNIN expression is necessary and sufficient for cortical axon branching. The present inventors have particularly demonstrated that BRAWNIN expression allows completely restoring impaired axon branching phenotypes in an impaired axon development mouse model. The present invention therefore pertains to a BRAWNIN agonist for use in the treatment of axonal metabolic disorders. The present invention further pertains to screening methods for the identification of novel therapeutic compounds based on BRAWNIN expression in a cellular model.

Abrégé
Using Harlequin (Hq) mice (a model developing an ataxic phenotype), the present inventors have confirmed that neuroglobin-based gene therapy represents a very promising tool for the treatment of neurological diseases. Hq mice were subjected to either intravenous (injection in the vein of the retro-orbital sinus) or local (neurosurgery in cerebellar hemispheres) administration of a neuroglobin-encoding AAV vector. The present inventors have demonstrated that in comparison to other modes of administration, the very specific intravenous administration of neuroglobin allows significantly increasing the survival rate of treated Hq mice, minimizing their weight loss, preventing cerebellar tissue degeneration, and preserving Purkinje cells and their dendritic arborizations. The present inventors have thus shown that the very specific intravenous administration of neuroglobin provides strong neuroprotective effects and thereby represents an extremely promising therapeutic strategy for treating neurological disorders. Accordingly, the present invention pertains to neuroglobin for use in the treatment of neurological disorders, wherein neuroglobin is administered intravenously to a patient in need thereof.
