Albenatide (CJC 1134PC) is a modified Exendin-4 (HY-13443) analogue conjugated to human recombinant albumin (HRA) in vitro to form a long-acting DPP-4-resistant GLP-1R agonist. Albenatide covalently binds through a low-molecular chemical linker (cys-C13H19O6N3-lys) to the cysteine residue in position 34 of HRA. Albenatide increases cyclic AMP (cAMP) production in vitro. Albenatide reduces glucose excursions, food intake, gastric emptying in wild-type mice and improves glucose tolerance and reduces body weight in high-fat diet mice[1]. | [References]
