SS-31 (Elamipretide) Structure

Molecular Formula

C₃₀H₃₃N₂O₈P₃

Research Applications:

SS-31 is extensively studied in preclinical research for its ability to enhance mitochondrial bioenergetics, reduce oxidative stress, and promote tissue repair in cellular and animal models. Investigations focus on its role in improving ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential, which supports muscle performance and recovery from exercise-induced damage. Research also explores its effects on fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity, making it a key compound for weight loss studies by addressing obesity-related mitochondrial dysfunction. Its anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties further support its use in health optimization and muscle repair research.
