In this study, a peptide‒drug conjugate OI-FFG-ss-SS31(ISP) is developed by integrating the Nrf2 activator 4-octyl itaconate (OI) and the mitochondria-targeting protective peptide elamipretide (SS31), and its therapeutic potential for myocardial I/R injury is explored.
In this study, Elamipretide (SS-31) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Elamipretide (SS-31).
