SS-31

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeted peptide that binds to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, optimizing energy (ATP) production and reducing oxidative stress.

Primary areas of research include:

• Mitochondrial Diseases: Studied extensively for Barth syndrome and primary mitochondrial myopathies to improve muscle strength and energy.

• Cardiovascular Health: Investigated for heart failure, ischemia, and protecting cardiac tissue from oxidative damage.

• Kidney Protection: Explored for preventing acute kidney injury, reducing renal fibrosis, and supporting recovery.

• Neurodegeneration: Preclinical research suggests it may protect brain cells, improve cognitive function, and aid recovery from strokes or traumatic brain injuries.

• Aging & Sarcopenia: Studied for reversing age-related mitochondrial decay, reducing fatigue, and improving physical endurance.
