Structure-activity relationships of mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide pharmacological compounds

Structure-activity relationships of mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide pharmacological compounds

Mitochondria play a central role in metabolic homeostasis, and dysfunction of this organelle underpins the etiology of many heritable and aging-related diseases. Tetrapeptides with alternating cationic and aromatic residues such as SS-31 (elamipretide) show promise as therapeutic compounds for mitoc...
