Mitochondrial / Cellular Aging

SS-31

A mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane, preserving cristae structure and improving ATP production. Studied in aging, heart failure, and metabolic disease.

Half-life
~2–4 hours
Typical vial
10 mg / 50 mg

Mechanism

Selective cardiolipin binding stabilizes the electron transport chain, reduces ROS leakage, and restores mitochondrial bioenergetics.

Research Applications

  • Heart failure models
  • Primary mitochondrial disease
  • Sarcopenia / aging muscle
  • Ischemia–reperfusion injury
