What it is
SS-31 (Szeto-Schiller Peptide 31 / Elamipretide) selectively concentrates in the inner mitochondrial membrane by binding to cardiolipin — a phospholipid unique to mitochondria. This selectivity allows it to quench mitochondria-specific ROS at the site of their production, protecting electron transport chain complex integrity. Research outcomes include improved ATP synthesis efficiency, reduced mitochondrial permeability transition, cardioprotective effects in ischaemia-reperfusion models, protection of kidney function under metabolic stress, and improvements in muscle function in aging research models.
