Peptide

Type

Chimeric adipose-vasculature-targeted peptidomimetic targeting prohibitin/annexin A2 on white adipose tissue endothelium, delivering pro-apoptotic D-(KLAKLAK)2 motif. In obese primates it produced rapid fat loss with improved insulin resistance, yet development halted after Phase 1 due to kidney safety signals.

Overview of Adipotide

CKGGRAKDC ligand homes to prohibitin/annexin A2 on white-fat endothelium; linked D-(KLAKLAK)2 disrupts mitochondrial membranes post-internalization, triggering localized endothelial apoptosis and adipocyte loss.

weight loss

  • Selective white adipose tissue vascular targeting produced 7-15% body-weight loss over 4 weeks in obese macaques.

metabolic

  • Improved insulin response (reduced insulin AUC) following fat-mass reduction in primates.

appetite control

  • Weight loss without primary appetite suppression; peripheral vascular approach.

Reconstitution Instructions

Materials needed:

Lyophilized peptide vialBacteriostatic water (BAC water)Alcohol swabs & sterile syringesInsulin syringes (0.5-1 mL)

Steps to reconstitute

  1. Sanitize hands and workspace; swab vial septum
  2. Inject BAC water slowly down vial wall; do not jet onto powder
  3. Gently swirl until fully dissolved (do not shake)
  4. Label with concentration/date; store at 2-8°C

Adipotide Cycle

The Adipotide Cycle section explains how long a typical cycle lasts and what to expect during each phase. Over time, your body can become less responsive with continuous use.

Taking breaks between cycles may help maintain effectiveness and support better overall results.

Week 1-2
Early reduction in abdominal circumference
Week 2-4
Progressive weight/fat-mass decline
Week 0-0
Partial rebound possible; lab signals include mild creatinine rise and electrolyte shifts

Reconstitution Tips

  • Use bacteriostatic water (BAC)contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol for preservation
  • Inject water slowlyaim down the vial wall, not directly onto powder
  • Never shakegently swirl or roll the vial until dissolved
  • Store properlyrefrigerate at 2-8°C after reconstitution
  • Use within 28 daysmost reconstituted peptides remain stable for about 4 weeks
  • Keep sterilealways clean vial tops with alcohol before drawing

Frequently asked questions

What is a peptide dosage calculator?

A peptide dosage calculator is a free tool that converts your vial size, bacteriostatic water volume, and target dose into an exact syringe draw volume. Instead of doing the reconstitution math by hand, you enter three inputs and instantly get the concentration of your solution and how many milliliters or syringeunits to draw. This calculator works for single peptide compounds and multi-peptide blends.

How do I calculate peptide dosage from a vial?

To calculate your peptide dose, divide the total peptide content of your vial in micrograms by the volume of bacteriostatic water you added in milliliters. This gives you your solution concentration in mcg/mL. Then divide your target dose by that concentration to get your draw volume. For example, a 5mg (5,000 mcg) vial reconstituted with 2mL of BAC water gives a concentration of 2,500 mcg/mL. A 250 mcg dose would require drawing 0.1mL. This calculator automates all of those steps instantly.

How much Bacteriostatic water should I add to a peptide vial?

Most people add 2mL to 3mL of bacteriostatic water per vial, but the right amount depends on the dose you want to draw and the syringe size you are using. Adding 1mL to a 5mg vial gives you a concentration of 5,000 mcg/mL, making each dose very small in volume. Adding 2mL gives you 2,500 mcg/mL, which is easier to measure on a standard insulin syringe. A general guideline is to choose a volume that puts your typical dose somewhere between 10 and 30 units on a U-100 syringe. Use the calculator above to test different water volumes and find what works for your dose.

How are peptides different from proteins?

Both are made of amino acids, but peptides are much smaller than proteins. Because of their tiny size, peptides can act like tiny messengers in the body, sending specific signals to your cells to tell them exactly what to do.​
