FOXO4-DRI is a synthetic peptide derivative that is described as an all D-enantiomer retro-inverso peptide [1] having the sequence H-ltlrkepaseiaqsileaysqngwanrrsggkrppprrrqrrkkrg-OH. [2] It blocks the activity of Forkhead box protein O4 (FOXO4), a transcription factor which is elevated in senescent cells, and helps maintain their viability. Blocking FOXO4 causes senescent cells to undergo apoptosis without affecting healthy cells around them, and has anti-aging effects which may have potential applications in the treatment of numerous age-related diseases, as well as an adjunct to treatment for certain forms of cancer.
