FOXO4-DRI
senolytic research peptide designed to disrupt FOXO4–p53 interaction
Evidence: animalReviewed 2026-07-25
Investigated uses
- No adequately documented human investigated use for the exact catalog identity/formulation was identified; any vendor-promoted goals were excluded from evidence grading.
Mechanism and hypotheses
- FOXO4-DRI was designed to disrupt FOXO4–p53 interaction and selectively induce apoptosis in senescent cells in preclinical models.
- Hypothesized: Human senolytic efficacy and safety are unknown.
Human evidence
- Senolytic effects and physical-fitness restoration were reported in aged mice. Limitations: No controlled human administration evidence; senescent-cell targeting may have context-dependent harms.
Safety highlights
- Unknown or insufficiently characterized for the exact catalog product.
- Identity, purity, sterility, endotoxin, aggregation, immunogenicity, concentration and route-specific risks are not adequately characterized.
Regulatory context
No FDA-approved product matching the exact catalog presentation was identified in this review.
