Comparison

Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 vs FOXO4-DRI

Function

While Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 is used in cosmetic eye formulations to decrease puffiness, eye bags, and dark circles by reducing edema and protecting proteins such as SOD from glycation51150159154, FOXO4-DRI acts as a senolytic in preclinical models by promoting apoptosis of senescent cells, improving tissue function and healthspan measures in aged animals38.

Mechanism

While Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 works as a synthetic tetrapeptide, Ac-βAla-His-Ser-His (Eyeseryl), with reported ACE-1 inhibition and anti-glycation activity, proposed to improve microcirculation and reduce capillary permeability and fluid accumulation in periorbital tissues51150159157, FOXO4-DRI is a D-retro-inverso peptide derived from a FOXO4 region that competes with endogenous FOXO4 for binding to p53, thereby releasing p53 to trigger apoptosis selectively in senescent cells38.

Length and Sequence

Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 is 4 amino acids long, whereas FOXO4-DRI is shorter as it has a length of amino acids. Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 is made up of a sequence of βAla, Histidine, Serine, Histidine. FOXO4-DRI is made up of a sequence of sequence data not available in the current dataset.

Receptor

Acetyl tetrapeptide-5

Acts as an enzyme inhibitor (eg, ACE-1, glycation-related pathways) rather than via a specific membrane receptor51159

FOXO4-DRI

Intracellular target is the FOXO4–p53 protein–protein interaction interface; it does not signal via a traditional cell-surface receptor38
