SS-31 Research Review: Model Comparison

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (rat heart) Infarct size reduction 3 mg/kg IV pre-ischemia 50–60% smaller infarcts vs saline; preserved cristae structure on electron microscopy Pre-treatment timing critical; post-ischemia efficacy reduced by 70% when delayed >30 m

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • Ischemia-reperfusion injury (rat heart)
  • Infarct size reduction
  • 3 mg/kg IV pre-ischemia
  • 50–60% smaller infarcts vs saline; preserved cristae structure on electron microscopy
  • Pre-treatment timing critical; post-ischemia efficacy reduced by 70% when delayed >30 min
  • Barth syndrome (human phase 2 RCT)
  • Six-minute walk distance
  • 0.25 mg/kg/hour IV for 12 weeks
  • +48 meters vs baseline (p<0.05); +13.2% ATP flux in skeletal muscle
  • First human trial showing functional improvement in genetic mitochondrial disease
  • HFpEF (PROGRESS-HF phase 2)
  • LV end-diastolic volume
  • 4 mg/hour IV infusion
  • No overall effect; subgroup with NT-proBNP >600 pg/mL showed improved diastolic function
  • Benefit limited to patients with more severe mitochondrial impairment at baseline
  • Alzheimer's disease (APP/PS1 mice)
  • Hippocampal amyloid plaque burden
  • 5 mg/kg IP daily for 4 months
  • Reduced plaque burden, preserved synaptic density, improved spatial memory
  • Mitochondrial protection may prevent downstream amyloid pathology
  • Renal ischemia-reperfusion (mouse model)
  • Tubular necrosis and fibrosis
  • 3 mg/kg IP immediately post-injury
  • 40% less fibrosis at 28 days; preserved GFR
  • Early intervention prevents chronic progression after acute injury
  • Exercise capacity in aged mice
  • Treadmill running distance
  • 3 mg/kg IP daily for 8 weeks
  • +25–30% running distance; improved mitochondrial RCR without biogenesis increase
  • Function restoration without new mitochondria synthesis
