Structural Characteristics:
Tirzepatide is a 39-amino acid synthetic peptide analog that functions as a dual agonist at the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. It is lipidated at Lys20 via a hydrophilic AEEA linker to a C20 fatty diacid, enhancing albumin binding and extending plasma half-life.
Mechanism of Action (Research Context):
Tirzepatide has been studied for its ability to activate both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, with research applications in:
- Glycemic regulation and insulin sensitivity models
- Appetite and satiety signaling studies
- Body weight and adiposity reduction research
- Lipid metabolism and metabolic syndrome investigations
Synthesis and Quality Control:
- Produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) with site-specific lipidation
- HPLC purified to β₯98%
- Identity confirmed by Mass Spectrometry (MS)
