SS-31 (also known as Elamipretide or Bendavia) is a synthetic tetrapeptide that selectively targets cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane to improve m…

Half-life

≈2 hours

Delivery

Subcutaneous or intravenous injection

Suggested dosage

Not specified

Usage

Used in research on mitochondrial dysfunction, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, neurodegenerative diseases, and age-related decline in bioenergetics.

Mechanism of action

Binds to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing cristae structure, enhancing electron transport chain efficiency, reducing reactive oxygen species production, and preventing cytochrome c peroxidase activity.

Benefits (5)

  • Improved mitochondrial bioenergetics
  • Reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production
  • Protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury
  • Improved cardiac and skeletal muscle function
  • Neuroprotective effects in models of neurodegeneration

Side effects (4)

  • Injection-site reactions
  • Nausea
  • Headache
  • Possible mild hypotension
