Science
Mechanism of Action
Competes with FOXO4 for p53 in senescent cells, releasing p53 to trigger apoptosis preferentially in senescent fibroblasts in the original mouse study.
Targets
FOXO4โp53 interaction
Studies
- FOXO4-DRI senolytic peptide in miceโ Journal/year not available
Benefits
Senolytic research tool
Potential Side Effects
- No established human dose
- On-target p53 risks theoretical
