Example Adipotide (FTPP) Titration Schedule
| Context | Dose | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Primate study (optimal) | 0.43 mg/kg SC daily ×28 d | Kolonin 2011 |
| Human Phase 1 (start) | 0.03 mg/kg IV daily | MD Anderson 2012 |
| Forum anecdote | ≤0.01 mg/kg (4.53 mcg/lb) | unpublished |
Development discontinued in 2019 and no human data were ever published. The weight-based table circulates from anecdotal reports roughly 4× below the actual trial starting dose.

Best Practices & Common Mistakes
Best Practices
- Use sterile technique.
- Protect from light and heat.
- Store refrigerated when appropriate.
- Use clean syringe-unit math before measuring.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing milligrams with milliliters.
- Choosing an option with awkward decimal units.
- Using too little liquid for very small measurements.
- Shaking the vial aggressively.
Adipotide (FTPP) Storage & Handling
Lyophilized Powder: −20°C (−4°F) for long-term storage (up to 24 months). Refrigeration 2–8°C (36–46°F) for short-term use (up to ~3 months). Original sealed vial in the freezer is safest.
Reconstituted Solution: 2–8°C (36–46°F), use within ~7–14 days. Keep sealed, avoid light, and do not repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Adipotide, also called FTPP (fat-targeted proapoptotic peptide), is an experimental compound that works very differently from GLP-1 drugs. Instead of curbing appetite, it's designed to cut off the blood supply to fat tissue, triggering those cells to die off. It is not a GLP-1, not an incretin, and not an approved medicine.
Only minimally. Adipotide showed weight loss in animal studies, but its development largely stopped because primate studies showed signs of kidney toxicity (damage to the kidney's filtering tubules). It never became an established human therapy. This is a key difference from GLP-1 compounds — the concern here is potential organ harm, not just digestive side effects.
If you're preparing a research vial, the mixing math is the same as any lyophilized peptide: add bacteriostatic water slowly down the side of the vial and swirl gently — never shake. The water volume sets the concentration; e.g. a 10 mg vial with 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Enter your vial size and target amount in the calculator for the syringe units.
The calculator only converts a mass you enter into a syringe volume — it doesn't recommend a dose. There's no established safe human dose for Adipotide, because it never completed proper human dosing studies. Any figures circulating online are unofficial. Use the tool for the measurement math only, and treat the amount itself as unsettled.
Keep the reconstituted solution refrigerated at 2–8°C (36–46°F), protected from light, and use it within roughly one to two weeks. Sealed lyophilized powder stores longest frozen at −20°C. Avoid heat and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which degrade the peptide.
Practical takeaway: If your goal involves weight management, metabolic health, recovery, physical performance, cognitive function, appearance, or general well-being, discuss it with a licensed healthcare professional. They can help you evaluate approved, evidence-based options rather than relying on an unapproved or investigational compound. This calculator is intended only for transparent research-reference calculations and does not determine an appropriate amount, recommend use, or replace professional medical guidance.
