Zhao et al. (2012) characterized SS-31's binding to cardiolipin and its effects on mitochondrial membrane potential in vitro (PMID: 22885605).
PMID: 22885605VERIFY PMIDZhao et al. (2014) investigated SS-31's mechanism of action at the mitochondrial inner membrane and electron transport chain (PMID: 25389201).
PMID: 25389201VERIFY PMIDSS-31 binds specifically to cardiolipin at the mitochondrial inner membrane, stabilizing electron transport complexes in vitro (PMID: 22885605).
Research indicates SS-31 reduces mitochondrial ROS production and protects cardiolipin oxidation in cell cultures (PMID: 25389201).
