SS-31 10mg — Research Compound
SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide that binds selectively to cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is studied for its unique ability to stabilize mitochondrial structure and optimize the electron transport chain, thereby reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Research focuses on its role in protecting tissues with high metabolic demands, such as the heart, kidneys, and brain, from oxidative damage and mitochondrial decay.
Findings from early-stage clinical trials have reported:
- Reductions in mitochondrial ROS production and oxidative stress observed in research models
- Improved ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential reported in-vitro
- Enhanced recovery of cardiac and renal function following ischemic injury noted in-vivo
- Significant improvements in muscle strength and exercise tolerance observed in experimental studies
Researchers study SS-31 to better understand the relationship between mitochondrial health and systemic disease. Its ability to directly target the mitochondrial membrane without affecting the cell nucleus makes it a specialized tool for investigating the management of mitochondrial myopathies and age-related organ dysfunction. This compound is essential for research into the biological limits of cellular energy production and tissue preservation.
