Adipotide
Mechanism of action
What Adipotide does in the body — step by step.
Adipotide is a peptidomimetic made of two functional parts: a targeting segment that binds prohibitin on the surface of the blood vessels of white adipose tissue, and a pro-apoptotic segment (D(KLAKLAK)₂).
After binding it is intended to selectively trigger apoptosis of these vascular cells and thereby cut off the blood supply to the fat tissue.
In animal models this led to a reduction in fat mass.

Frequently asked questions
What is Adipotide?+
Adipotide is a peptidomimetic made of two functional parts: a targeting segment that binds prohibitin on the surface of the blood vessels of white adipose tissue, and a pro-apoptotic segment (D(KLAKLAK)₂).
What type of peptide is Adipotide?+
Adipotide belongs to the Other class.
What is Adipotide used for?+
In research, Adipotide has primarily been investigated in the context of: Metabolism. These are research findings (evidence: preclinical), not proven benefits in humans and not a usage recommendation.
Is Adipotide legal in Germany?+
Adipotide is not approved as a medicine in Germany. Obtaining it outside clinical studies is legally problematic.
Is Adipotide FDA-approved / legal in the US?+
No. Adipotide is not FDA-approved as a drug in the US; it is mostly sold as a research chemical and not for human consumption.
Is Adipotide legal in Canada?+
No. Adipotide is not authorized by Health Canada and not intended for human consumption.
Where can I buy Adipotide?+
Peptica sells nothing and names no sources. Adipotide is "not approved" in Germany; obtaining unapproved substances outside clinical studies is illegal and carries quality and safety risks.
What is the dosage of Adipotide?+
Peptica publishes no dosing. There are no approved dosing guidelines for Adipotide; figures circulating online stem from animal studies or anecdote, not from validated human protocols. This is not medical advice.
Is Adipotide banned in sport (WADA)?+
Adipotide is currently not on the WADA Prohibited List.
What are the known risks of Adipotide?+
Documented risks include: Nephrotoxicity described in animal models; No controlled human studies — safety entirely unclear. This is not a complete safety assessment and not medical advice — see the risks section for the full list.
How well researched is Adipotide?+
The evidence is classified as “preclinical”. 1 study is cited on this page.
