Adipotide: What It Is and Its U.S. Regulatory Status

What is adipotide?

Adipotide is a peptidomimetic, a lab-made molecule that behaves like a peptide. It was designed to target a protein called prohibitin on the blood vessels that supply white fat tissue.

Research on adipotide has been early stage. Most published work has been in animals, and it has not advanced to approval. Its safety in people has not been established.

U.S. regulatory status

An investigational drug is one that is still being studied or has not completed FDA review. Outside of an authorized clinical trial, adipotide is not an approved medicine in the United States.
