SS-31 (Elamipretide) - Mitochondria-Targeted Tetrapeptide (Szeto-Schiller). 10mg per vial. >=99% purity, lyophilized.
SS-31, known scientifically as elamipretide (and historically as MTP-131 or Bendavia), is a synthetic, mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide developed from the Szeto-Schiller peptide series. Its defining feature is an alternating aromatic-cationic structure that drives it selectively into the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it associates with the phospholipid cardiolipin. This positions SS-31 as one of the most studied tools in mitochondrial bioenergetics research. Bergdorf Bioscience supplies SS-31 (Elamipretide) at 10 mg per vial as a high-purity reference compound for laboratory and research use only.
Elamipretide emerged from work on aromatic-cationic peptides at Weill Cornell Medicine and has since accumulated an unusually deep clinical research record for a peptide, spanning Barth syndrome, primary mitochondrial myopathy, geographic atrophy in dry age-related macular degeneration, and heart failure. While several late-stage trials did not meet their primary endpoints, mechanistic and secondary findings have repeatedly pointed to genuine effects on mitochondrial structure and function.
SS-31 is a four-residue peptide built around the non-natural amino acid 2',6'-dimethyltyrosine (Dmt) and a D-arginine residue, which together give the molecule its characteristic aromatic-cationic motif and metabolic stability. The compound is highly water-soluble and is cleared rapidly, substantially by renal excretion, giving it a short systemic half-life. Lyophilized material should be stored cold and protected from light; reconstituted solutions are best kept refrigerated and used promptly.
Each vial contains 10 mg of SS-31 (Elamipretide), manufactured to a verified purity of at least 99% and accompanied by third-party HPLC and mass-spectrometry documentation. Every batch is independently tested so that researchers receive material of consistent, reference-grade quality.
As a mitochondria-targeted compound, SS-31 is frequently studied alongside other cellular-energy and longevity research peptides such as MOTS-c and NAD+, making it a cornerstone of bioenergetics and aging research programs.

Mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane, stabilizing cristae, preserving membrane potential and boosting ATP synthesis while reducing reactive oxygen species.
Beginner protocol
— mg / Woche
Advanced protocol
For reference only: in clinical research, elamipretide has been administered at about 40 mg subcutaneously once daily (and as an intravenous infusion in earlier trials), while in vitro laboratory work commonly uses nanomolar to low-micromolar concentrations. These figures describe published study designs and are not dosing guidance or a recommendation for use (research context).
Note: The dosages listed correspond to typical ranges from published research literature. They do not replace advice from a qualified researcher or physician.
Every batch is analyzed by an independent laboratory via HPLC before shipment. We document purity (avg. 99.43% in 2026), mass spectrometry identity, and sterility. Production follows GMP standards in ISO-certified laboratories.
All our peptides meet a minimum purity standard of ≥99%, verified through HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis. Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) are available on request.
Store as lyophilized powder at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted, keep at 4°C and use within a few days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping typically takes 4–9 business days in total. All orders include tracking.
Yes. Batch-specific CoAs can document purity, identity, and test results from independent laboratories. They are provided upon request.
There is no entitlement to free returns. In exceptional cases we may review a goodwill solution within 14 days of receipt—please contact support first.
