Adipotide

Adipotide (also known as FTPP or Prohibitin-TP01) is an experimental peptidomimetic that selectively targets blood vessels supplying white adipose tissue, inducing apoptosis in endothelial cells and causing rapid fat loss. Originally developed at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Adipotide works through a dual-domain structure: a targeting sequence that homes to adipose vasculature and a pro-apoptotic peptide that destroys the targeted cells. While demonstrating dramatic fat reduction in primate studies, clinical development was paused due to renal side effects, making it a compound of significant research interest in obesity and metabolic science.
