FOXO4-DRI

Also known as: FOXO4-D-Retro-Inverso · Senolytic Peptide

D-retro-inverso peptide derived from the FOXO4-p53 interaction domain. Disrupts the FOXO4-p53 complex in senescent cells, releasing p53 to induce apoptosis specifically in cells that have stalled in senescence — leaving healthy cells unaffected in murine studies.

Best timing

Cycled — common research protocol is 3 doses over 1 week, then repeated quarterly. No established human dosing.

Contraindications

  • Pregnancy
  • Active cancer (p53 activation in tumor context is unpredictable)
  • No human clinical trials — pre-clinical only

Watch symptoms

  • No characterized human side effect profile
  • Theoretical 'senescence flare' — transient inflammation as senescent cells clear
  • Injection site reactions
  • Long-term consequences of senolytic clearance in humans unknown
