SS-31 is a tetrapeptide compound targeting mitochondria, fully named Elamipretide. Composed of phenylalanine, glutamine, lysine, and phenylalanine, it exhibits lipophilic properties that enable it to penetrate cell membranes and localize to the inner mitochondrial membrane. By interacting with phospholipids in the mitochondrial inner membrane, it stabilizes mitochondrial structure, maintains membrane potential, and reduces oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial damage. It activates respiratory chain complex activity, promotes ATP production, and improves cellular energy metabolism. It inhibits pro-inflammatory factor release, thereby mitigating inflammatory responses triggered by mitochondrial injury. SS-31 demonstrates efficacy in myocardial cells, neurons, and other cell types, improving myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases.
The peptide will be provided as lyophilized powder to ensure maximum stability.
