Semaglutide TFA is a glucagon-like peptide-1 congener that induces weight loss, lowers blood glucose levels, and reduces cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients.Semaglutide TFA induces mild-to-moderate and transient gastrointestinal disturbances, and may be used in the study of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Empagliflozin (BI 10773) is an SGLT-2 inhibitor (IC50=3.1 nM) that is potent and selective, with more than 300-fold selectivity for SGLT-1/4/5/6. Empagliflozin is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Semaglutide is a long-acting, selective, competitive GLP-1R agonist and a long-acting analog of human glucagon-like peptide-1, exhibiting potent hypoglycemic, weight-loss, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective effects. Upon activation of the GLP-1R, semaglutide promotes insulin secretion, inhibits gastric emptying and appetite, while also enhancing autophagy and suppressing oxidative stress and apoptosis. Semaglutide also plays a role in regulating mitochondrial function and lipid metabolism. Semaglutide is being investigated for use in type 2 diabetes, obesity, Parkinson’s disease, metabolic and fatty liver diseases (MASLD), and other neurodegenerative and liver diseases, as well as in cancer research.

Semaglutide Acetate is a GLP-1R agonist (EC50=6.2 pM) with long-acting, selective, competitive, and oral efficacy. Semaglutide acetate can be used in the study of type 2 diabetes.

Finerenone (BAY-948862) is a nonsteroidal antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) (IC50=18 nM) with selective and oral activity. Finerenone is used in the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease with type 2 diabetes.

Dapagliflozin (BMS-512148) is a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter subtype 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor with antihyperglycemic activity.

GIP (3-42), human (Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (3-42) (human)) is a peptide that acts as a glucose-dependent proinsulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor antagonist and regulates insulin secretion and the metabolic effects of GIP in vivo, which can be used to study type 2 diabetes.

Liraglutide (Liraglutida) is a synthetic analog of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an agonist of the GLP-1 receptor. Liraglutide can be used to treat type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity.

PX-478 is a HIF-1α inhibitor with selectivity, oral activity, and blood-brain barrier permeability. PX-478 has antitumor activity and also protects pancreatic β-cell function in diabetes mellitus and is used in type 2 diabetes mellitus research.

Retatrutide is a triple receptor agonist targeting the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR), and glucagon receptor (GCGR), with FDA approval for the indication of obesity.Retatrutide may be used in studies of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Metformin (1,1-Dimethylbiguanide) is an AMPK activator with blood-brain barrier permeability. Metformin may improve glycemic control by increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal glucose uptake, and is commonly used in type 2 diabetes research.

AVE5688, an inhibitor of glycogen phosphorylase (GP), has IC50 values of 430 nM and 915 nM, and Kd values of 170 nM and 530 nM for rmGPb and rmGPa, respectively. It is suitable for research on type 2 diabetes.

DGAT-1 inhibitor 2 is an effective DGAT-1 inhibitor and anti-obesity drug. DGAT-1 (acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1) is one of two known DGAT enzymes that catalyze the final step of triglyceride synthesis. Transgenic mice and pharmacological studies indicate that inhibiting DGAT1 is a promising strategy for treating obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Ertiprotafib (PTP 112), a selective and potent inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphate 1B (PTP1B) and IkappaB kinase β (IKK-β), is a novel insulin sensitizer with potential anticancer activity for the study of type 2 diabetes and breast cancer.
