Academic research identified PEPITEM as a homeostatic regulator of T-cell trafficking in mouse models of autoimmunity. No human trials have been published.
PE 22-28 (PEPITEM) is a 7-amino-acid fragment of the B-cell-secreted protein 14-3-3ζδ. In murine work, it was reported to restrict T-cell trafficking into inflamed tissue, suggesting potential application in autoimmune inflammation.
No human clinical trial data has been published. Evidence is restricted to mouse models of rheumatoid arthritis and related inflammatory disease.
No human safety data exists. Preclinical work does not identify safety liabilities but also does not establish the long-term safety of therapeutic administration.
Regulatory status
- FDA status:
- Not FDA-approved
Popular-press claims about anti-aging or metabolic effects outrun the actual preclinical literature, which focuses on T-cell trafficking in autoimmune inflammation.
