Mechanism

Binds cardiolipin, stabilizes cristae, and supports electron transport.

Reported effects

What sources associate with this compound. Reported categories, not outcomes we have graded — each would need its own citation and rung.

  • Fatigue reduction
  • HRV support
  • Post-exertional malaise support

What that assumes. Assumes 10 mg in 2 mL (5000 mcg/mL) drawn on a U-100 barrel — the preset on this record, not a recommendation and not the only way to mix it. Change the vial mass, the diluent or the barrel and every number in this table changes. Run your own.

Carried from a source that labels it unverified, and reproduced with that label attached. A record of what is reported, not a recommendation. No citation on this page establishes it.

mass ÷ diluent = concentration; dose ÷ concentration = volume; volume × the syringe factor = units on the barrel (100 for U-100, 40 for U-40). Run your own numbers.

Identity

PubChem CID 11764719 computed 3D conformer Space-filling 3D model of SS-31, carbon grey, nitrogen blue, oxygen red
Built from the SMILES on this record — the atoms, bonds and stereochemistry are exact. The shape is one computed low-energy pose, not a measured structure: a flexible peptide in solution has no single conformation. The skeletal formula below claims connectivity and nothing more, which is what we actually know.

Classified as

Mitochondrial Cardiolipin Bindingmechanism
It is unusually specific for this field: a named lipid, a named location, and a binding claim that can be tested directly. That is quite different footing from the broad mitochondrial support language elsewhere on the site.
Mitochondrial Functionpathway
The phrase appears in a great deal of product copy but is measured very differently across studies, from oxygen consumption in cultured cells to exercise capacity in a person, and the rung a claim earns usually depends on which was actually done.
Subcutaneousroute
This is the route the reconstitution arithmetic assumes. Mass divided by diluent volume gives concentration, dose divided by concentration gives volume, and volume in mL multiplied by 100 gives units on a U-100 barrel: 5 mg in 2 mL is 2.5 mg/mL, and 0.25 mg comes out at 0.1 mL, which is 10 units.
Intravenousroute
A large share of the pharmacokinetic numbers attached to peptide records, half-life in particular, come from intravenous studies and often from animals. Those numbers describe an intravenous curve and do not transfer unchanged to a depot under the skin.
