elamipretide is an approved drug
Compound class:
Peptide
Comment: Elamipretide (MTP-131; SS-31) is a cell-penetrating tetrapeptide that binds to the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin [4,6] via electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions [1,5]. This action stabilises mitochondrial cristae structure, improves ATP synthesis (bioenergetics) and reduces reactive oxygen species production.
