| List of GLP-1 receptor agonistsReference material | |
|---|---|
| Scope | Agonists at the GLP-1 receptor, alone or with others |
| Excluded | DPP-4 inhibitors, which raise endogenous hormone |
| List infobox · conventions | |
This list enumerates agonists at the GLP-1 receptor, including those that also engage other receptors of the glucagon-secretin family. DPP-4 inhibitors are excluded: they raise endogenous incretin concentrations rather than agonising the receptor directly. See Dipeptidyl peptidase-4.[1]
Status is given as approved or investigational without specifying jurisdiction, since approval differs between countries. See Regulatory status by jurisdiction.[2]
Compounds appearing here are covered by their own articles where one exists. Inclusion is not an endorsement, and several entries are investigational compounds not approved anywhere.[3]
GLP-1 receptor agonists
[edit]| Compound | Route | Interval | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exenatide | Subcutaneous | Twice daily or weekly | Approved |
| Lixisenatide | Subcutaneous | Daily | Approved |
| Liraglutide | Subcutaneous | Daily | Approved |
| Dulaglutide | Subcutaneous | Weekly | Approved |
| Semaglutide | Subcutaneous | Weekly | Approved |
| Oral semaglutide | Oral | Daily | Approved |
| Orforglipron | Oral | Daily | Investigational |
The list spans three architectures: exendin-derived peptides, acylated GLP-1 analogues, an Fc fusion, and a non-peptide small molecule. See GLP-1 receptor agonist for how each solves the half-life problem.[1]
Multi-receptor agonists
[edit]| Compound | Receptors | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Tirzepatide | GIP, GLP-1 | Approved |
| Survodutide | Glucagon, GLP-1 | Investigational |
| Efinopegdutide | Glucagon, GLP-1 | Investigational |
| Mazdutide | Glucagon, GLP-1 | Investigational |
| Retatrutide | GIP, GLP-1, glucagon | Investigational |
These are treated at Dual incretin agonist and Triple agonist. Their receptor ratios are fixed by chemistry and are not comparable between publications, since reported potencies are assay-dependent.[1]
