GLP-1 Agonist Peptides
Activates GLP-1 receptors
Mechanism
Peptides (3)
Semaglutide
Metabolic & Weight Loss
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist with 94% sequence homology to human glucagon-like peptide-1. Used for weight management (Wegovy) and type 2 diabetes (Ozempic). Demonstrates significant effects on appetite regulation and glucose control.
Tirzepatide
Metabolic & Weight Loss
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist for weight management and type 2 diabetes. Marketed as Mounjaro (diabetes) and Zepbound (weight management). Outperforms semaglutide in head-to-head trials for both glucose control and weight loss.
Liraglutide
Metabolic & Weight Loss
Liraglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist with 97% sequence homology to native GLP-1. FDA-approved as Victoza (diabetes) and Saxenda (weight management). Established efficacy and safety profile with extensive clinical data.
