Glucagon-Like Peptide (GLP) Agonist: Understanding

Glucagon-Like Peptide (GLP) Agonist: Overview

Glucagon-Like Peptide (GLP) agonists are a class of medications primarily used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. They mimic the action of endogenous GLP-1, a hormone secreted by the intestine in response to food intake. GLP-1 plays a crucial role in regulating glucose homeostasis by stimulating insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon release, both of which help to lower blood sugar levels.

Several types of GLP-1 receptor agonists are available, each with unique formulations and dosing regimens. Exenatide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, semaglutide, and lixisenatide are among the most commonly prescribed GLP-1 agonists. These medications are typically administered via subcutaneous injection, with dosing frequency ranging from once-daily to once-weekly injections. Such convenience in dosing improves patient adherence and may contribute to better treatment outcomes.

Glucagon-Like Peptide (GLP) agonists, notably GLP-1 receptor agonists, are pivotal therapeutic targets in type 2 diabetes and obesity management due to their multifaceted effects. They enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion while inhibiting glucagon release, promoting glycemic control without hypoglycemia. Additionally, GLP-1 agonists curb appetite, foster weight loss, and demonstrate cardiovascular benefits, including reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). These agents may also preserve pancreatic beta cell function, improve liver health in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and potentially offer neuroprotective and renoprotective effects. With convenient dosing and potential for combination therapies, GLP-1 agonists stand as promising interventions across various metabolic and neurological conditions, reflecting their substantial clinical significance.

It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Glucagon-Like Peptide (GLP) Agonist Emerging Drugs

• Survodutide: Boehringer Ingelheim

Survodutide is a glucagon/GLP-1 receptor dual agonist with a novel mechanism of action that activates both the GLP-1 and glucagon receptors that are critical to controlling metabolic functions. Survodutide was co-invented by Boehringer Ingelheim and Zealand Pharma. Survodutide has received US FDA Fast Track Designation as well as a PRIME designation in the EU for the treatment of NASH. Survodutide is being evaluated in Phase III trials for people living with obesity, Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

• HRS9531: Fujian Shengdi Pharmaceutical

HRS9531 is a dual GLP-1/GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor agonist, offering a treatment option for individuals with overweight or obesity, as well as type 2 diabetes. This Phase II study evaluated the efficacy and safety of HRS9531 in obese adults without diabetes. The research found HRS9531 effectively reduced body weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, and triglycerides, with a favorable safety profile. Currently the drug is in Phase III stage of development for the treatment of obesity.

• MK-6024: Merck

MK-6024 is an investigational peptide and dual agonist at glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucagon receptors in clinical development for the treatment of NASH. MK-6024 is being developed under an exclusive licensing agreement between Merck and Hanmi Pharmaceutical for the treatment of patients with NASH. The drug has been granted Fast Track Designation by the US FDA for the treatment of NASH, a more severe form of NAFLD. A Phase IIa clinical trial was conducted that compared the efficacy and safety of efinopegdutide to the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide in patients with NAFLD. The results of this trial were presented at the 2023 European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Annual Congress. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

• XW014: Sciwind

XW014 is an orally bioavailable small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist in development for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. As a small molecule, XW014 is easier to manufacture than GLP-1 peptide drugs and readily bioavailable after oral dosing. It has the potential to be co-formulated with other oral drugs of complementary mechanisms to generate more effective combination treatments for metabolic diseases. GLP-1 is an incretin peptide hormone that is naturally released after a meal and acts on the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, and central nervous system to maintain physiological health. GLP-1 receptor agonists have shown clinical benefits in treating obesity, type 2 diabetes, and liver disease. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of its development for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
