SS-31

Elamipretide (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2)

SS-31 (Elamipretide) is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide that binds to cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane to optimize mitochondrial structure and function. Originally developed for mitochondrial diseases and heart failure, SS-31 enhances cellular energy production and reduces oxidative stress across multiple organ systems. It has shown promise in clinical trials for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, Barth syndrome, and mitochondrial myopathies.

Dosing Guidelines

Research Protocol

Clinical trials typically use dose escalation starting at 0.25 mg/kg daily for 3 days, increasing to 0.5 mg/kg daily for days 4-7, then 1.0 mg/kg daily for maintenance. For severe conditions, doses may be increased to 2.0 mg/kg daily based on tolerance and response. Administration is via subcutaneous injection once or twice daily, with consistent timing recommended for optimal results.

Simple Explanation

SS-31 dosing starts low and increases gradually. Most people begin with about 15-20mg daily (for someone weighing 70kg) for a few days, then double it for a week, then settle at about 70mg daily for ongoing treatment. For more serious conditions, the dose might go up to 140mg daily. It's given as a shot under the skin once or twice a day, like insulin but for cellular energy instead of blood sugar.

Mixing & Injection

Technical Instructions

Subcutaneous injection is the primary route, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm with site rotation to prevent lipodystrophy. For hospitalized patients or severe conditions, intravenous infusion may be used. The peptide should be stored refrigerated and brought to room temperature before injection. Injection sites should be rotated systematically, and proper aseptic technique maintained to prevent infection.
