Introduction to SS-31
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide consisting of D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2. It has been the subject of ongoing research due to its unique ability to localize within mitochondria. Investigators have explored its potential to support mitochondrial function and mitigate cellular stress under various experimental conditions.
Key Research Areas
Research on SS-31 has focused on its role in supporting mitochondrial health and cellular energy processes. In laboratory models, it has demonstrated antioxidant properties and has been studied for its potential to help reduce markers of oxidative stress. Preclinical studies have also examined its possible applications in supporting cognitive and cardiovascular function. Additionally, scientists have explored its neuroprotective potential in the context of age-associated cognitive challenges and experimental models of neurodegenerative conditions. SS-31 remains under investigation and is not approved for clinical use.
