| Targets |
FOXO4-DRI (Forkhead box O4 - D-retro inverso) specifically binds to and competitively disrupts the interaction between the transcription factor FOXO4 and the tumor suppressor p53, thereby interfering with senescence‑associated survival pathways.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In senescent TM3 Leydig cells, FOXO4-DRI (25 mM; 3 days) induces apoptosis and causes nuclear exclusion of active p53 [1]. The senescence level of PDL9 cells is significantly reduced by FOXO4-DRI (25 μM; 5 days) [2].
In vitro, FOXO4‑DRI induces p53‑mediated apoptosis in senescent cells without affecting healthy cell viability. It has been demonstrated to alleviate age‑related testosterone secretion insufficiency by specifically targeting senescent Leydig cells in aged mice. |
| ln Vivo |
In naturally aging rats, FOXO4-DRI (5 mg/kg; ip; every other day for three administrations) enhances the testicular microenvironment and relieves inadequate testosterone secretion [1].
In animal studies, systemic administration of FOXO4‑DRI selectively eliminates p16Ink4a‑positive senescent cells in aged mice, restoring fur density, renal function, and physical performance, and contributing to improvement in biological age of young tissues. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non‑cellular inhibition of the FOXO4‑p53 interaction is assessed using purified proteins in a fluorescence polarization (FP) or ELISA‑based binding assay. Increasing concentrations of FOXO4‑DRI are incubated with recombinant FOXO4 and p53 to determine the peptide's ability to disrupt complex formation, with IC50 values derived from competition binding curves.

| Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: Senescent Leydig cells Tested Concentrations: 25 mM Incubation Duration: 3 days Experimental Results: decreased the viability of senescent as compared to normal TM3 Leydig cells. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Types: Senescent Leydig cells Tested Concentrations: 25 mM Incubation Duration: 3 days Experimental Results: The apoptosis rate increased from 10% to 27%. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Types: PDL9 cells Tested Concentrations: 25 μM Incubation Duration: 5 days Experimental Results: diminished the protein levels of representative senescent markers, including p16, p21, and p53. RT-PCR[2] Cell Types: PDL9 cells Tested Concentrations: 25 μM Incubation Duration: 5 days Experimental Results: Enhanced SOX9 expression, and decreased MMP12 and MMP13 expression. For cell‑based studies, senescent human primary fibroblasts or other senescence‑positive cell lines are treated with FOXO4‑DRI (1‑50 uM) for 24-72 h. Apoptosis is quantified using Annexin V/PI staining, caspase‑3/7 activation assays, and measurement of p53 transcriptional activity by qRT‑PCR or reporter gene analysis. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Naturally aged male C57BL/6 mice (20-24 months old)[1]
Doses: 5 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip)injection, every other day for three administrations Experimental Results: Increased serum testosterone levels. Increased levels of both 3β-HSD and CYP11A1. diminished interstitial SA-β-gal activity and lowered levels of senescence-associated proteins p53, p21, and p16. diminished the levels of IL- 1β, IL-6 and TGF-β. In aged murine models, FOXO4‑DRI is administered intraperitoneally or subcutaneously (2-10 mg/kg) every other day for 2-4 weeks. Senolytic efficacy is evaluated by immunostaining for p16Ink4a and senescence‑associated beta‑galactosidase in kidney, muscle, and adipose tissue, alongside functional tests for physical activity and metabolic parameters. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for FOXO4‑DRI are limited, as the peptide is primarily used as a research tool. Peptide‑based agents of similar molecular weight typically exhibit rapid clearance from circulation with short half‑lives (minutes to a few hours) and require parenteral administration to bypass gastrointestinal degradation.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Acute toxicity studies have not been systematically reported for FOXO4‑DRI. However, based on its mechanism as a p53‑mediated senolytic agent, potential on‑target risks include transient depletion of p53‑dependent physiological senescence, which may affect tissue repair and regeneration. No significant off‑target cytotoxicity has been observed in standard preclinical safety assessments.

| Additional Infomation |
FOXO4‑DRI is strictly a research‑grade peptide not yet approved for human therapy. Its senolytic activity has generated strong interest in the fields of aging biology and therapeutic elimination of senescent cells in age‑related disorders. Ongoing preclinical research is exploring its utility in neurodegenerative diseases, osteoarthritis, and metabolic dysfunction. No clinical trials have been registered to date.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
