Elamipretide (also known as SS-31, , MTP-131 and Bendavia)^[1]^[2] is a small mitochondrially-targeted tetrapeptide (D-Arg-dimethylTyr-Lys-Phe-NH₂) that appears to reduce the production of toxic reactive oxygen species and stabilize cardiolipin.^[3]

Stealth Peptides, a privately held company, was founded in 2006 to develop intellectual property licensed from several universities including elamipretide; it subsequently changed its name to Stealth BioTherapeutics.^[4]^[5]

As of November 2017 Stealth had obtained an orphan designation in the US for use in mitochondrial myopathy and had started a Phase III trial in that indication.^[2] As of January 2020, trial expectations were not met.^[6]
