01Mechanism of Action
Parameter
Adipotide
Crystagen
Primary target
Prohibitin-1 (PHB1) on adipose vasculature endotheliumHossen 2013
B-lymphocytes in splenic tissueСhervyakova 2014
Pathway
CKGGRAKDC domain binds PHB1 → Peptide internalisation → D(KLAKLAK)₂ mitochondrial membrane disruption
B-cell activation → Immune modulation during agingСhervyakova 2014
Downstream effect
Endothelial apoptosis → Adipose vascular collapse → Adipocyte involution → Weight loss
B-cell activation via apoptosis reduction; no observed increase in splenic cell renewalСhervyakova 2014
Feedback intact?
N/A — Direct apoptotic mechanism, non-hormonal
Unknown — bioregulator mechanism not fully characterized
Origin
Synthetic bioconjugate: PHB1-targeting homing peptide + pro-apoptotic KLA sequence

05Administration Protocol
Parameter
Adipotide
Crystagen
1. Route
Intravenous injection (systemic) in preclinical models. No human protocols exist.
Subcutaneous injection — presumed from bioregulator class convention. Specific anatomical sites not standardized.
2. Formulation
Bioconjugate peptide. May also be encapsulated in nanoparticles (prohibitin-targeted nanoparticle formulation, KLA-PTNP, showed superior efficacy vs. free bioconjugate in mice).Hossen 2013
Protocol not standardized. If lyophilized, sterile water or bacteriostatic saline typical for peptide bioregulators.
3. Preclinical dosing
Low-dose systemic injection (exact dosing not specified in available abstract). Frequency and duration not detailed.Hossen 2013
Not specified. Bioregulator protocols vary — some practitioners advocate evening dosing, others morning.
4. Storage
Not specified — likely requires peptide-grade lyophilised storage and reconstitution.
Lyophilized: room temperature, light-protected. Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within days to weeks depending on preservative.
06Stack Synergy
Adipotide
— no documented stacks
Crystagen
+ Vilon
Multi-pathwayVilon (Lys-Glu) activates T-helper cells via apoptosis reduction, while Crystagen activates B-cells. Dual T/B immune modulation in aging models may provide complementary thymic-immune support within the Khavinson bioregulator framework. Both target splenic immune aging through distinct lymphocyte subsets.
