Discovery of novel SS-31 (d-Arg-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH2) derivatives as potent agents to ameliorate inflammation and increase mitochondrial ATP synthesis.


ABSTRACT: Neuroinflammation and mitochondrial function are crucial for neuronal function and survival. SS-31 is a novel mitochondria-targeted peptide antioxidant that reduces mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, increases ATP generation, protects the integrity of mitochondrial cristae and the mitochondrial respiratory chain, and reduces inflammatory responses. Exploring novel SS-31 derivatives is important for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, nineteen SS-31 derived peptides (5a-5s) were synthesized. Through cellular activity screening, we discovered that 5f and 5g exhibited significantly greater anti-inflammatory activity compared to SS-31, reducing LPS-induced TNF-α levels by 43% and 45%, respectively, at a concentration of 10 μM. Furthermore, treatment with
