Description
Semaglutide Acetate
Chemical Name: Semaglutide Acetate
Molecular Formula: C₁₈₇H₂₉₁N₄₅O₅₉
Molecular Weight: ~4113.6 g/mol
CAS Number: 910463-68-2
Sequence:
H-Aib-His-Ala-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Val-Ser-Ser-Tyr-Leu-Glu-Gly-Gln-Ala-Ala-Lys(N-(γ-Glu-2xOEG)-OEG-C18 diacid)-Glu-Glu-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu-Val-Arg-Gly-Arg-Gly-OH
(Aib = α-aminoisobutyric acid, OEG = oxyethylene glycol)
Structural Characteristics:
Semaglutide is a 31-amino acid synthetic GLP-1 receptor agonist analog with substitutions and a C18 fatty diacid side chain attached via a spacer to Lys26. This modification enhances albumin binding, slows enzymatic degradation, and prolongs its plasma half-life for extended receptor activation.
Mechanism of Action (Research Context):
Semaglutide is studied for its selective activation of the GLP-1 receptor, with potential applications in:
- Glycemic regulation and β-cell function research
- Appetite suppression and satiety signaling studies
- Weight management and adiposity reduction models
- Cardiometabolic health and lipid profile investigations
Synthesis and Quality Control:
- Produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) with site-specific lipidation
- Purified to ≥98% by HPLC
- Identity confirmed by Mass Spectrometry (MS)
Product Details:
- Form: Lyophilized acetate salt
- Appearance: White to off-white powder
- Supplied in: 3mL sterile vial
Solubility & Reconstitution:
Soluble in sterile water, dilute acetic acid, or aqueous buffers at pH 5–7.
- Swirl gently to dissolve; avoid vigorous shaking
