Longevity · Senolytic

FOXO4-DRI

Senolytic peptide researched for clearance of senescent cells.

Mechanism of Action

A D-retro-inverso peptide that disrupts the FOXO4-p53 interaction inside senescent cells, selectively triggering their apoptosis while sparing healthy cells in preclinical models.

Research Areas

Senescent cell clearance
Tissue function in aged mice
Fibrotic disease models

Common Research Protocols

Intermittent research dosing

Cyclic IV/IP dosing in rodent aging studies.

Protocols summarized for educational reference from published research. Not dosing guidance.

Cited Research
