Tirzepatide

Type: API

Usage: Anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and for weight loss.

Technical description
Tirzepatide is a 39-amino acid linear polypeptide which is conjugated to a C20 fatty diacid moiety via a linker connected to lysine-20. It is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has a role as a gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor agonist, a hypoglycemic agent, an incretin mimetic, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist and an anti-obesity agent.
