Larazotide

aka Larazotide acetate · AT-1001 · INN-202 · GGVLVQPG

Healing & Recovery research-only

Mechanism

Synthetic eight-amino-acid peptide that acts as a zonulin antagonist and tight-junction regulator, helping restore and maintain intestinal epithelial barrier function (reducing paracellular 'leaky gut' permeability). It was developed (as larazotide acetate, AT-1001 / INN-202) primarily for celiac disease as an adjunct to a gluten-free diet. It is not FDA-approved: a Phase 3 trial (CeDLara) in celiac disease was discontinued for futility, and the compound remains investigational with no approved human indication. The acetate salt form carries CAS 881851-50-9.

Studied uses

Identification

CAS number258818-34-7
Molecular formulaC32H55N9O10
SequenceGGVLVQPG
Typical dose0.25-0.5 mg taken orally three times daily before meals (clinical-trial dosing); acts locally in the gut lumen with minimal systemic absorption
Half-lifeMinimal systemic exposure; acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract rather than via sustained plasma levels

Safety

Not FDA-approved for any indication; clinical development for celiac disease did not demonstrate efficacy in Phase 3. Reported trial adverse effects were generally mild and gastrointestinal. Not a WADA-prohibited substance.

Coeliac disease and the intestinal barrier: mechanisms of disruption and strategies for restoration
Damianos JA, Bledsoe A, Camilleri M, Murray JA. · Gut (2026) · review

Coeliac disease is characterised by immune-mediated damage to the small intestine in response to dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. Increased intestinal permeability is a central component to its pathophysiology.
