🧬 SS-31: The Mitochondria Rescue Peptide

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a synthetic peptide that targets the inner mitochondrial membrane with incredible precision—accumulating up to 5,000-fold where it matters most.

How does it work?

It binds to cardiolipin, a phospholipid unique to mitochondria, and:

✅ Stabilizes cristae structure for better ATP production

✅ Scavenges ROS to cut oxidative stress

✅ Prevents mPTP opening (blocks apoptosis)

✅ Reduces inflammation via NLRP3 inhibition

Key research highlights:

Reversed age-related ATP decline in aged mice (8-week treatment)
FDA-approved for Barth syndrome (2025)
Studied in HFpEF, Parkinson's, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and reproductive aging

Half-life: ~2–4 hours | BBB-penetrant | Renally cleared
