- Peptide
- Scientific name
- Elamipretide — D-arginyl-2,6-dimethyl-L-tyrosyl-L-lysyl-L-phenylalaninamide (SS-31, MTP-131, Bendavia)
- Amino acids
- 4
- Sequence
- D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH2
- Molecular weight
- 639.8 g/mol (free base)
- Formula
- C32H49N9O5
- CAS
- 736992-21-5
- Origin
- Fully synthetic Szeto-Schiller aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide (Weill Cornell, 2004); not a natural gene product — it contains D-arginine and 2',6'-dimethyltyrosine (Dmt) with a C-terminal amide, so no standard one-letter code represents it faithfully.
- Lyophilized (powder)
- -20°C, desiccated and protected from light · stable long-term (24+ months); -80°C for extended archival storage
- Reconstituted
- 2-8°C · use within ~30 days; aliquot to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
- Room temperature
- Tolerates short shipping excursions of a few days as a sealed lyophilized powder. Not suitable for prolonged ambient storage — the powder is hygroscopic and moisture uptake drives gradual hydrolysis, and the phenolic dimethyltyrosine residue is oxidation- and light-sensitive. Reconstituted solution should not be held at room temperature.
