SS-31

SS-31 (also known as elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting peptide studied in research for its potential role in protecting and improving cellular energy production. It is designed to interact with cardiolipin, a key lipid in the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping stabilize mitochondrial structure and improve efficiency of ATP production.

In experimental and clinical research settings, SS-31 has been investigated for its possible effects on reducing oxidative stress, improving mitochondrial function, and supporting cellular resilience in conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction. It has been explored in areas such as heart, kidney, and muscle-related metabolic disorders due to its role in preserving energy metabolism and limiting cellular damage.
