MECHANISM OF ACTION

Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor coagonist, with a GIP-based mechanism. Activation of the GIPR potentiates insulin, suppresses glucagon, promotes direct lipolysis in adipocytes, and modulates the central nervous system. GLP-1R promotes satiety, delays gastric emptying, and stimulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion. The C20 diacid fatty acid chain extends the half-life to approximately 5 days with weekly administration.

SIDE EFFECTS AND SAFETY

Gastrointestinal effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Class warning regarding C-cell thyroid tumors. Risk of pancreatitis. Dose titration is essential. Monitor renal function if gastrointestinal effects occur.

RESEARCH AND CLINICAL NOTES

SURPASS-2, a head-to-head trial against semaglutide: tirzepatide was superior in both HbA1c and body weight. SURMOUNT-1: 22.5% reduction in body weight. Dual-action peptide approved by the FDA for dual indications, marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound. Second-largest commercial impact after semaglutide.

TARGET PROFILE:

Metabolic medicine, endocrinology, bariatric medicine, and weight loss.
