Experimental peptidomimetic that targets prohibitin on white adipose vasculature, designed to trigger apoptosis of fat-blood-supply cells and reduce fat mass in animal models.

How to picture it

Designed to bind prohibitin on white-fat blood vessels and deliver a kill signal to those vessels, starving fat tissue in animal research. Picture cutting the supply lines to fat pads — dramatic in models, with equally serious safety scrutiny. Listed for scientific completeness as high-risk experimental biology, not casual interest.

Research focus & benefits

  • Adipose vasculature targeting research
  • Experimental fat-regression model studies
  • High-risk experimental biology reference

Benefits describe research interest and pathway rationale — not guaranteed outcomes or medical advice. Research use only.

Overview

Adipotide (CKGGRAKDC-GG-D(KLAKLAK)2 class FTPP) was developed to bind a white-fat vascular marker and deliver a pro-apoptotic motif, starving adipocytes. Monkey and mouse studies showed fat loss and metabolic improvements, but kidney toxicity signals slowed translation. Still appears in research catalogs.

Mechanism

Homes to prohibitin-expressing adipose vasculature; pro-apoptotic domain disrupts mitochondrial membranes of targeted endothelial cells leading to white fat regression.

Research uses

  • Obese mouse and monkey fat-reduction studies
  • Targeted adipose vasculature ablation research
  • Metabolic improvement secondary endpoints

Research dosing notes

Animal study mg/kg schedules only. Human research dose not established; renal monitoring was a development concern.
