Tirzepatide is an analog of the human GIP hormone with a C 20 fatty diacid portion attached, used to optimise the uptake and metabolism of the compound. [32] The fatty-diacid section (eicosanedioic acid) is linked via a glutamic acid and two (2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy)acetic acid units to the side chain of the lysine residue.
GLP-1 agonists such as tirzepatide, semaglutide, and liraglutide slow gastric emptying and also have neurologically driven effects on appetite. [14] It is unknown if GLP-1 agonists or dual/triple agonists of GLP-1 and/or the glucagon or GIP receptors act solely by reducing energy intake or if they also increase energy expenditure. [15]
Tirzepatide, a dual agonist of GLP-1 and GIP receptors, is approved for type 2 diabetes and obesity. With an average 20 percent weight loss at a high dosage, it appears to be more effective than GLP-1 mono agonists although there have been no head to head trials as of 2023. [1] [3]
