Adipotide is a peptidomimetic compound. It functions as a pro-apoptotic drug, targeting specific blood vessels that supply white adipose tissue. By binding to receptors prohibitin and ANXA2, Adipotide induces vascular apoptosis, leading to the shrinkage of blood vessels and subsequent apoptosis of fat cells.
This mechanism results in rapid weight loss, as demonstrated in studies involving mice and rhesus monkeys.
However, clinical development of Adipotide was discontinued as of 2019. Its unique action on white adipose tissue makes it a potential candidate for anti-obesity therapies, though further research is needed to assess its safety and efficacy in humans.
