Survodutide
peptide · headlineResearch use onlyDual agonist for GLP-1 and glucagon receptors
Summary
Survodutide is an investigational dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist developed for obesity, MASH (Metabolic Associated Steatohepatitis), and cirrhosis. It promotes significant weight loss, improves liver markers, reduces visceral adiposity, and increases energy expenditure. Human trials report robust reductions in body weight and promising outcomes in liver disease settings. Developed by Boehringer Ingelheim, it is currently in clinical trials.
How it works
- Dual agonist for GLP-1 and glucagon receptors
- Suppresses appetite and food intake
- Enhances energy expenditure and lipolysis
- Improves hepatic insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis
Dosing
- unit: mglow dose: 0.6frequency: Weeklyhigh dose: 4.8standard dose: 2.4administration route: Subcutaneous (SQ)
Cycling
- Administer once weekly. Titrate starting from 0.6 mg to target dose (2.4–4.8 mg) over several weeks. Monitor body weight, liver function tests, and glycemic parameters. Continuous use protocol under practitioner supervision.
Side effects
common: ["Gradual titration mitigates GI tolerability issues"]
Chemistry & PK
sequence: Specific proprietary sequence related to GLP-1 and glucagon.
half life: Supports once-weekly dosing; estimated half-life 4–6 days
degradation: Metabolized hepatically and renally excreted
molecular weight: 4000
molecular formula: C172H265N43O51
tissue specificity: Acts on liver, pancreas, adipose tissue, and CNS appetite-regulating centers
