Discribe

Semaglutide is a new generation GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) analogues. Semaglutide is a long-acting dosage form based on the basic structure of liraglutide. which is more effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Compared with lilarlutide. somalutide has a longer aliphobic chain and an increased hydrophobicity. but somalutide is modified with a short chain of PEG. and its hydrophilicity is greatly enhanced.PEG modification can not only tightly bind to albumin. cover up the DPP-4 enzymatic hydrolysis site. but also reduce renal excretion. prolong the biological half-life. and achieve the effect of long circulation.

Semaglutide (USAN; trade name Ozempic) is a pharmaceutical drug in development by a Danish company Novo Nordisk for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is marketed by the name Ozempic. As a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. it lowers the blood sugar level by increasing the production. It was discovered in 2012. by a team of researchers at Novo Nordisk as a longer-acting alternative to liraglutide. Clinical trials were started in 2015. and phase 3 was completed in 2016. FDA approval was applied in December 2016. and in October 2017 FDA Advisory Committee voted 16-0 in favour. It can be used as both injection-type or oral-type drug.

Researchers at the University of Leeds reported in 2017 that it can also be used for the treatment of obesity. It reduces hunger. food craving and body fat.
