Περιγραφή
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, MTP-131 or Bendavia, is a synthetic mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide.
Unlike most peptides, SS-31 does not primarily interact with a cell-surface receptor. Instead, it rapidly enters cells and selectively accumulates within mitochondria, where it binds cardiolipin, a phospholipid unique to the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Because cardiolipin is essential for maintaining mitochondrial architecture and efficient ATP production, SS-31 has become one of the leading investigational peptides for research into mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and cellular energy metabolism.
Why SS-31 is widely investigated
Published research has investigated SS-31 in relation to:
- mitochondrial repair
- cellular energy production
- ATP synthesis
- oxidative stress
- muscle physiology
- healthy aging
- cardiovascular research
- neurodegeneration
- mitochondrial disease
Unlike metabolic peptides that regulate cellular signalling, SS-31 directly targets the physical structure of mitochondria, making it unique among modern research peptides.
How SS-31 works
Cardiolipin stabilisation
SS-31 selectively binds cardiolipin, an essential phospholipid located within the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Cardiolipin plays a critical role in maintaining mitochondrial cristae structure and supporting the electron transport chain. Under conditions of oxidative stress, cardiolipin becomes damaged, reducing mitochondrial efficiency. Published research suggests SS-31 helps stabilise this membrane environment and preserve mitochondrial function.
Cellular energy production
By preserving mitochondrial structure, SS-31 has been investigated for improving the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation and ATP generation. Rather than stimulating mitochondria to produce more energy, SS-31 appears to help dysfunctional mitochondria produce energy more efficiently.
Oxidative stress
Numerous preclinical studies have investigated SS-31 for reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and limiting oxidative damage associated with impaired mitochondrial function.
Tissue protection
Because mitochondria influence virtually every organ system, SS-31 has been investigated across cardiovascular, neurological, renal and skeletal muscle research, making it one of the broadest mitochondrial peptides currently available.
Why SS-31 is different from other mitochondrial peptides
Not all mitochondrial peptides investigate the same biology.
MOTS-c investigates how cells regulate energy metabolism by activating adaptive metabolic signalling pathways.
ΣΣ-31 investigates how mitochondria physically produce energy by stabilising the inner mitochondrial membrane and preserving electron transport chain function.
Rather than changing metabolic signalling, SS-31 focuses on maintaining the mitochondrial machinery itself.
This distinction has made SS-31 one of the most important investigational peptides for mitochondrial biology and healthy aging research.
Ανθρώπινη και προκλινική έρευνα
SS-31 has progressed further into clinical development than many research peptides.
Human studies have investigated SS-31 in primary mitochondrial disease, Barth syndrome, heart failure, kidney injury and ophthalmic disorders, while extensive preclinical research has explored its effects on skeletal muscle, neurodegeneration, ischemia-reperfusion injury and age-related mitochondrial dysfunction.
Although clinical results have varied by indication, SS-31 remains one of the best-characterised mitochondria-targeting peptides currently under investigation.
Δημοσιευθείσες παρατηρήσεις ασφαλείας
SS-31 has undergone multiple clinical studies across several disease areas.
Published trials have generally reported favourable tolerability, with adverse events typically mild to moderate. Clinical efficacy has varied depending on the condition under investigation, highlighting the complexity of mitochondrial diseases and the need for continued research.

Ανα
SS-31 is supplied as a lyophilised vial and should be handled using standard peptide reconstitution procedures appropriate to the research setting. Must be reconstituted with Βακτηριοστατικό νερό πριν τη χρήση. Για να διατηρηθεί η δομική ακεραιότητα, προσθέστε το επιλεγμένο διαλύτη αργά στο εσωτερικό τοίχωμα του φιαλιδίου αντί απευθείας στη μάζα του πεπτιδίου, και αποφύγετε το έντονο ανακίνημα. Η απαλή περιστροφή είναι γενικά επαρκής μόλις το πεπτίδιο διαλυθεί πλήρως. Η τυπική εργαστηριακή πρακτική περιλαμβάνει επίσης την αναμονή των ψυχόμενων φιαλιδίων να φτάσουν σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου πριν από την ανασύσταση για να ελαχιστοποιηθεί η συμπύκνωση στο εσωτερικό του φιαλιδίου.
