Description: Tirzepatide, also known as LY 3298176, is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Tirzepatide has a greater affinity to GIP receptors than to GLP-1 receptors, and this dual agonist behavior has been shown to produce greater reductions of hyperglycemia compared to a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist. Signaling studies reported that tirzepatide mimics the actions of natural GIP at the GIP receptor. Tirzepatide was approved for improving blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, as an addition to diet and exercise.

More Info: irzepatide is a newly developed glucose-lowering agent which acts on the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. It has been shown to result in several highly beneficial outcomes including weight loss and a significant improvement in important metabolic parameters such as HbA1c, fasting serum glucose, and triglyceride/lipoprotein levels. These findings suggest that tirzepatide could potentially be beneficial to metabolically healthy obese or metabolically healthy overweight patients in reducing their risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and conversion to the metabolically unhealthy phenotype.

Biological target: Tirzepatide differentially induces internalization of the GIP and GLP-1 receptors with EC50 values of 18.2 nM and 18.1 nM, respectively.
In vitro activity: In mouse islets, tirzepatide stimulates insulin secretion predominantly through the GLP-1R. However, in human islets, antagonizing GIPR activity consistently decreases the insulin response to tirzepatide. Tirzepatide stimulates islet hormone secretion from human islets through both incretin receptors. Reference: Nat Metab. 2023 Jun;5(6):945-954. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37277609/
In vivo activity: As monotherapy for early type 2 diabetes, tirzepatide achieved significant improvements in biomarkers of both pancreatic beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity. Reference: J Endocr Soc. 2023 Apr 22;7(5):bvad056. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37153701/
