Investigation of SS-31 in neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's)
The investigation of SS-31 (Elamipretida) in the field of neurology is, possibly, one of the most fascinating frontiers of current medicine. The brain is the most metabolically active organ in the body: although it alone represents 2% of our weight, it consumes 20% of total energy (ATP).
In diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, science has confirmed that mitochondrial dysfunction is not a late consequence of the disease, but one of the earliest events that trigger neuron death. Next, I detail how the SS-31 is trying to stop these processes.
- The brain: a vulnerable organ with an energetic fall
Neurons depend exclusively on mitochondria to maintain the electrical gradient that allows synaptic communication. If mitochondria fail:
- ATP falls: The neuron loses the ability to send signals.
- Increase ROS: Free radicals damage brain proteins and lipids.
- Cellular Death: The neuron activates apoptosis (cell suicide).
- SS-31 in Alzheimer's disease
In Alzheimer's, the brain becomes invaded by beta-amyloid protein plaques. Current research with SS-31 focuses on protecting the neuron from the toxicity of these plaques:
Synaptic Protection: It has been observed that beta-amyloid oligomers directly attack mitochondria in synapses (connections between neurons). SS-31, by stabilizing cardiolipin, shields these synaptic mitochondria, allowing neurons to continue communicating despite the presence of illness.
Reduction of damage to mitochondrial DNA: Oxidative stress in Alzheimer's damages the DNA of the mitochondria itself. The SS-31 reduces this damage by cutting the production of free radicals at its origin, preserving the genetics necessary for the neuron to breathe.
Improved learning and memory: In animal models (mice with Alzheimer's), the administration of SS-31 demonstrated a significant improvement in memory and behavioral tests, suggesting that restoring cellular energy can mitigate cognitive symptoms.
- SS-31 in Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's is characterized by the death of dopaminergic neurons in the black substance. These neurons are especially sensitive to failure in Complejo I of mitochondria.
Rescate Complex I: Many Parkinson's toxins and genetic factors block Complex I of the electron transport chain. The SS-31 helps to reassemble and stabilize mitochondrial supercomplexes, improving the efficiency of Complejo I and preventing the neuron from losing energy.
Stopping dopamine degradation: By reducing systemic oxidative stress in the brain, dopamine is prevented from oxidizing and becoming toxic to the cell itself.
Prevention of neuronal death: Studies suggest that SS-31 can act as a neuroprotective agent, “keeping dopaminergic neurons alive” for longer, which could delay the progression of motor symptoms (tempers, stiffness).
- The big one: The Blood Brain Barrier (BBB)
One of the biggest obstacles in neurology is that most drugs cannot cross the blood stream into the brain tissue.
The advantage of SS-31: Due to its small size (tetrapeptide) and its unique chemical properties, SS-31 has demonstrated in multiple studies a surprising ability to cross the blood-brain barrier efficiently. This allows direct access to the mitochondria of neurons and glial cells of the brain after systemic administration (such as subcutaneous injection).
- Summary of current research
Disease Objective of SS-31 Expected result
Alzheimer's Protect the synapsis from the beta-amyloid protein. Preserve memory and cognition.
Parkinson Stabilize Complex I in dopaminergic neurons. Delay the loss of motor control.
ALS (Lateral Sclerosis) Prevent the energetic collapse of motor neurons. Maintain muscle strength and function.
Ictus Ischemia Reduce oxidative damage due to lack of oxygen. Minimize the area of brain damage following a heart attack.
Conclusion
Although we are still in the phases of clinical and preclinical trials, SS-31 is one of the few molecules that offers an etiological (cause) approach rather than a simply palliative one. It is not trying to cleanse the brain of “junk” proteins, but it is trying to strengthen the neurons from the inside so that they are resistant to illness and can continue functioning.
