Research Grade
FOX04-DRI 10mg
Senolytic peptide & cellular rejuvenation
FOX04-DRI is a D-retro-inverso peptide analogue designed to interfere with the FOXO4–p53 protein–protein interaction that keeps senescent cells alive. By disrupting this interaction, FOX04-DRI selectively induces apoptosis in senescent cells while leaving healthy cells unaffected — making it one of the most targeted senolytic compounds currently under investigation.
- ✓Selectively targets and clears senescent cells
- ✓Disrupts FOXO4–p53 pro-survival interaction
- ✓Induces apoptosis in senescent cells only
- ✓Studied for rejuvenation & healthspan extension
- ✓≥99% purity — HPLC verified
Mechanism of Action
Senescent cells upregulate FOXO4, which sequesters p53 in the nucleus and prevents it from triggering apoptosis — allowing senescent cells to persist and secrete the pro-inflammatory SASP (senescence-associated secretory phenotype). FOX04-DRI is a D-retro-inverso peptide that competitively disrupts the FOXO4–p53 interaction, freeing p53 to activate its apoptotic programme. Because healthy cells do not rely on this FOXO4–p53 axis for survival, FOX04-DRI selectively eliminates senescent cells without cytotoxicity to normal tissue. Research models show clearance of p21-positive senescent cells in liver, kidney, and intestinal tissue following administration.
