Overview

Elamipretide (SS-31) is a mitochondria-targeting peptide that binds cardiolipin and stabilizes mitochondrial function, reducing ROS and improving energetics. Clinical trials span widely across IV infusion and other routes. Trial endpoints are measured over months in specific disease contexts. Not a typical consumer RUO peptide — positioned for clinical trial education/referrals.
