Biased adrenergic agonists – a novel treatment for diabetes! Amazing paper in Cell from a project led by @ProfBengtsson (Stockholm Uni) and Shane Wright (Karolinska Inst):

Great work by my student Nour Kahlous, who performed simulations of the compounds.

Some journeys are long. This one took 15 years!

Our new @CellCellPress paper details a new class of GRK-biased agonists that reshape body composition by reducing fat while sparing muscle, offering a solution to the #GLP1 challenge.

With a strong safety profile confirmed in our first-in-human trial, we are now advancing to a larger Phase 2 study.

My deepest gratitude to every co-author, our partners, and the team at @AtrogiAB for making this vision a reality.

This is a great snapshot of the current non-peptide #GLP1R agonist pipeline. The development of a convenient oral pill could be a game changer for treating #T2D and #obesity

The oral non-peptide GLP-1 agonist space is quickly filling up

Individuals with class 3 obesity (BMI > 40) have up to 17 years of lower life expectancy.

Compare this to smokers who have 8.9 years of lower life expectancy to non-smokers.

In the REDEFINE 1 phase 3a trial, semaglutide at a dose of 2.4 mg with cagrilintide at a dose of 2.4 mg led to significant body-weight reduction in adults without diabetes and with overweight or obesity. Full trial results: https://t.co/4ApXFlhZP1
