Experimental weight-loss drug outperforms original GLP-1s
An experimental weight-loss drug called GLP-1-GIP-Lani has shown promise in early trials conducted by Helmholtz Munich, outperforming traditional GLP-1-based treatments. The drug combines appetite and blood sugar-regulating hormones with PPAR activity to improve metabolic health. Researchers describe it as a 'Trojan horse' that may allow lower dosages and fewer side effects.
- ▪The drug GLP-1-GIP-Lani is a quintuple agonist targeting five receptor systems involved in metabolism.
- ▪It combines GLP-1 and GIP hormones with PPAR activity to enhance insulin sensitivity, fat metabolism, and reduce inflammation.
- ▪The drug was tested in mouse models with obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes-induced metabolic conditions.
- ▪Researchers led by Professor Timo D. Muller at Helmholtz Munich believe the 'Trojan horse' mechanism enables targeted delivery and lower dosing.
- ▪The study was published in the journal Nature and based on preclinical research in animals.
