Abstract

The plasma half-life of DR10601 following subcutaneous administration was 51.9 ± 12.2 hours.

  • DR10601 shows dual activity on GLP-1 and glucagon receptors.
  • A single dose of DR10601 (30 nmol/kg) achieved similar glycemic control and longer action duration compared to dulaglutide (10 nmol/kg).
  • Administered once every 4 days at 90 nmol/kg, DR10601 produced effects on food intake and body weight that were nearly equivalent to daily liraglutide (40 nmol/kg) at 24 days.
  • Repeated administration of DR10601 may lead to significant body weight loss in high-fat diet-induced obesity models.
