SS-31 (also known as elamipretide) is a synthetic tetrapeptide that targets the inner mitochondrial membrane. It binds to cardiolipin to stabilize mitochondrial structure, reduce oxidative stress, and improve cellular energy (ATP) production. It is studied for age-related and mitochondrial diseases. [1, 2, 3, 4]

How SS-31 Works

 

  • Binds directly to cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane.
  • Acts as structural support ("rebar") to prevent membrane breakdown.
  • Reduces harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) and electron leaks.
  • Restores efficient ATP energy production in cells. [1, 2, 3, 4]

 

    Potential Applications & Research

     

    • Clinical Trials: Investigated for primary mitochondrial myopathy, heart failure, and Barth syndrome.
    • Organ Protection: Shows preclinical promise in protecting kidney, heart, and brain tissue from low blood flow or injury.
    • Longevity & Biohacking: Explored by some for cellular repair and combating age-related functional decline.
