This is a side-by-side of what is documented, not a ranking. Different compounds are studied for different things, in different people, at different amounts. A row that looks stronger for one compound does not make it the better choice for anyone.

| What is not known | Everything about this compound in a human being. No interventional trial, observational study or published case report of 5-Amino-1MQ administered to a person exists, so whether it has any effect, at any dose, with any safety profile, in a human is entirely unanswered. Any human... | Whether Adipotide is safe or effective in a general, non-cancer, human obesity population; no such trial has ever been conducted. The specific human doses used in the one Phase I trial that was conducted (NCT01262664), and its results, since the trial was terminated with only... |
