SS-31
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide designed to concentrate in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Preclinical studies in cell cultures and animal models indicate that SS-31 binds to cardiolipin, stabilizes mitochondrial cristae, reduces reactive oxygen species production, and protects against oxidative damage in various tissues.[1][2]
Key Research Areas
- Mitochondrial Protection & ROS Reduction – In rodent models of ischemia-reperfusion injury and neurodegenerative conditions, SS-31 has been shown to decrease mitochondrial ROS generation, prevent cardiolipin peroxidation, and preserve mitochondrial membrane potential.[3][4]
- Cardiac & Skeletal Muscle Function – Preclinical investigations demonstrate SS-31 improves cardiac contractility in models of heart failure, enhances muscle performance in aging or disease paradigms, and supports bioenergetic efficiency in skeletal muscle.[5][6]
- Neuroprotection & Age-Related Decline – Animal studies suggest SS-31 attenuates neuronal loss, reduces neuroinflammation, and improves cognitive function in models of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and age-related mitochondrial dysfunction.[7][8]
