About mitochondrial and redox research compounds

These compounds are grouped by the research question rather than by structure: they are the ones that appear in mitochondrial function, redox balance and cellular-ageing literature. Structurally they have little in common, and that matters when comparing them.

MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide, encoded in mitochondrial rather than nuclear DNA. SS-31 is a tetrapeptide studied for its affinity for cardiolipin in the inner mitochondrial membrane. NAD+ is a coenzyme rather than a peptide at all, studied in redox and sirtuin-pathway work. Glutathione is a tripeptide studied as an antioxidant and in detoxification-pathway research. Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide from telomere and pineal research.

Because this group spans peptides, a coenzyme and a tripeptide antioxidant, the vial sizes vary widely - from 10mg to 1500mg. Price per milligram is not a meaningful comparison across this category; compare within a compound, against its batch report.
