About SS-31

SS-31 is studied in research on cellular energy metabolism and longevity. SS-31 accumulates strongly and selectively at the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds cardiolipin, a phospholipid essential for cristae structure. This stabilizes cristae architecture, improves ATP production, and reduces oxidative stress.

Research Application

The TAZPOWER trial (Barth syndrome) showed significant improvements in skeletal muscle strength and cardiac stroke volume over 48 weeks — the basis for the later FDA approval. Also under investigation in heart failure and age-related muscle decline research.

Important to know

Claims circulating online are often not backed by valid clinical data. Treat all information as a starting point for your own scientific research, not as usage guidance.

Synthetic mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2 (alternating cationic/aromatic residues, C-terminally amidated).
Developed by Stealth BioTherapeutics; evaluated in multiple Phase 2/3 clinical trials. In September 2025, elamipretide (brand name FORZINITY) received FDA accelerated approval to improve muscle strength in Barth syndrome — making it a genuinely approved drug rather than solely a research peptide.

Sequence and regulatory status data are based on publicly available sources and refer to the compound in general, not to a specific product.

Research Overview

Research on longevity and energy metabolism is primarily supported by preclinical data.
