Scientific Background
SS-31 (Elamipretide) belongs to the Szeto-Schiller (SS) peptide family. Developed specifically to penetrate cellular membranes without requiring specialized transporters, it targets mitochondrial microdomains to preserve bioenergetic efficiency under physiological stress.
Mechanism of Action
SS-31 associates directly with cardiolipin, an essential phospholipid in the inner mitochondrial membrane. By stabilizing cardiolipin structure, SS-31 helps maintain electron transport chain integrity, optimizes ATP synthesis, and prevents excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
