Is MTP-131 the same as elamipretide?
Yes. MTP-131 is a lab code listed as another name on this site's elamipretide profile, along with SS-31. It names the same peptide that sticks to cardiolipin, with a molecular weight of 639.8 daltons. The approved brand is Forzinity, for Barth syndrome only. The code is a lab label, not a second drug and not a longevity approval. Full record at /compounds/elamipretide.
