Ok, I should know better, but I read this at T-mag and I want to know what you think of this one. Have any of you researched this compound or have plans to release it.
A few quotes from the author off the T-mag message board:

The Future of Fat Loss Agents?
Q: I'm a little overweight and my doctor has prescribed Meridia. However, it really doesn't do it for me. Is there anything new coming out that will really help me drop the fat weight?
A: Since you're working with a doctor, and given the current paranoia exhibited by the lay public toward products that contain ephedrine, I doubt that he's going to recommend some of the effective over-the-counter fat burners like MD6. That sort of handcuffs me as far as recommendations I can make, but there is a little known protein derived compound (actually a combination of a protein and a sugar, known as a proteoglycan) that's naturally occurring and that has been found to induce weight loss without any effect on muscle protein status.
This compound, which hasn't yet made it to the market, is a low molecular weight agent, meaning that it's easily absorbable. The agent, known as azaftig, is truly remarkable. If a supplement company is smart, this compound can be synthesized and sold over the counter since it's naturally occurring.
The amazing thing about azaftig is that when given via intraperitoneal injection, it easily binds to receptors on fat cells and causes them to disintegrate without burning up muscle in the process. Yes, fat cells melt away and not in an infomercial sense. Before long, someone will realize that this agent can be administered orally if it's encapsulated in a cyclodextrin, polyethylene glycol, or even a liposome carrier, rather than given by injection.
Now that we know the upside of azaftig, the downside is that so far it's only been found in the urine of people with cancer and HIV. People who have cancer or HIV tend to have high levels of azaftig in their urine and these levels correlate with the amount of weight they've lost. Healthy people usually have undetectable levels of azaftig in their urine and when given this agent they lose only fat weight. Once you get past the potential disgust factor, this agent may make a great weight loss supplement.
" Currently researchers at the Louisiana State University are working on an oral and an injectable version. All a supplement company has to do is review their work (Prasad and Figueroa) and synthesize the compound (may be expensive). "
"Azaftig is legitimate and very real. I simply stated in the column that it is considered a natural metabolite (meeting DSHEA) and thus can be synthesized and sold by a dietary supplement company. It should be cheap to produce (or have made in China) and has very real effects as demonstrated by Prasad et al "
"Have you spoken to anyone at Biotest about selling the product?
that is not what I do. I write for the e-zine. I put ideas out there. If Tim, TC or whomever want to pursue the agent, I'll help them out as I have many of these type metabolic compounds"
