SS-31, known by the generic name elamipretide, is a synthetic peptide made of four amino acids. It was designed to enter cells and concentrate in mitochondria, where it binds to cardiolipin, a fat molecule found in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The “SS” comes from the names of the two scientists who first described this family of peptides.
Elamipretide has been studied in clinical trials for Barth syndrome, a rare inherited condition that affects mitochondria, as well as in other mitochondrial disorders.
Current status: Rx only where approved – verify current FDA status.
The U.S. status of elamipretide should be verified directly with the FDA, because it has changed recently. Where it is approved, it is a prescription-only medicine intended for specific rare conditions, and it may only be dispensed with a valid prescription.
