Semaglutide

Enhanced albumin binding is the modification that extends the action of semaglutide, an analogue of the gut hormone GLP-1 with an elimination half-life of about seven days. Agonism at the GLP-1 receptor stimulates glucose-dependent insulin release, suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying, producing improved glycaemic control together with substantial weight reduction. Cardiovascular outcome data extend the picture: in people with established heart disease the agent reduces the rate of serious events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Both injectable and oral presentations exist, unusual for a peptide of this size. It is a protein of formula C187H291N45O59, roughly 4114 g/mol, within the alimentary tract and metabolism group.
