SS- 31 (50mg)

SS-31 (Elamipretide / MTP-131) is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant tetrapeptide that selectively concentrates within the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is among the most potent mitochondrial protective agents under current research investigation, with demonstrated effects on bioenergetics, oxidative stress, and age-related cellular decline in preclinical models. This 50mg presentation supports extended research protocols.

Mechanism of Action

•        Binds selectively to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing cristae structure and optimizing electron transport chain efficiency.

•        Reduces mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) by preventing electron leak at Complex I and III in experimental settings.

•        Studied for enhancement of ATP synthesis capacity in metabolically compromised or aging cell models.

•        Protects mitochondrial membrane potential and has been shown to prevent cytochrome c release in apoptosis research.

•        Research indicates promotion of mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis.

Research Areas

•        Cardiac biology research including cardiomyopathy and ischemic stress models.

•        Skeletal muscle dysfunction and sarcopenia studies associated with aging and metabolic disease.

•        Kidney protection research in acute injury and chronic nephropathy models.

•        Neurological decline studies involving mitochondrial dysfunction.

•        Anti-aging research targeting cellular energy restoration.

Presentation and Storage
