Tirzepatide Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Beschreibung
Tirzepatide (LY3298176) was developed as a dual agonist to both GLP-1 and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptors (Frias et al., 2018). Similar to GLP-1, GIP is an incretin hormone that functions to induce insulin secretion.
Verwenden
Tirzepatide is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems.
Handelsname
brand name: Mounjaro
Mechanism of action
It works to stimulate first- and second-phase insulin secretion, and reduces glucagon levels, both in a glucose-dependent manner. Tirzepatide was also shown to delay gastric emptying, lower fasting and postprandial glucose concentration, decrease food intake, 4 and reduce body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Nebenwirkungen
The overall safety and tolerability profile of tirzepatide was similar to other incretin-based therapies that have been approved for the treatment of obesity. This said, reported side effects were considerable, especially as dosage levels increased. The most common adverse events were nausea (~30%), diarrhea (~20%), constipation (~15%) and vomiting (~10%).
If tirzepatide gets approved as a both a blood glucose control and anti-obesity agent, it could become a blockbuster drug. However, this isn’t a sure thing. It will have to overcome pricing and reimbursement obstacles, which have plagued similar treatments.
Clinical claims and research
Tirzepatide (Eli Lilly), a novel, once-weekly injectable dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and GLP-1 RA combination drug, has been developed to treat patients with T2DM. The manufacturer (Eli Lilly) announced the submission of a biologics license application with priority review to the FDA for T2DM on October 27, 2021, with a decision expected in mid-2022.
Research
Tirzepatide is in phase 3 clinical development at Eli Lilly and Company for blood glucose management in adults with type 2 diabetes, chronic weight management, and obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. In addition, Tirzepatide is being studied as a potential treatment for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The molecule comprises a 39 amino acid peptide backbone and a side chain at residue 20. Of the 39 amino acids, 37 are naturally occurring (or coded), while two are noncoded aminoisobutyric acid residues at positions 2 and 13[1].
