Efinopegdutide
Efinopegdutide (MK-6024, formerly JNJ-64565111 / HM12525A) is a once-weekly dual agonist at the GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, developed by Hanmi and Merck. It has been studied for obesity and notably for metabolic liver disease (MASH/NAFLD); a phase-2 trial showed greater liver-fat reduction than semaglutide. Investigational, not approved.
Mechanism of action
Efinopegdutide is an oxyntomodulin-derived peptide acting as a dual agonist at the GLP-1 and glucagon receptors with a relative potency of approximately 2:1 (GLP-1 to glucagon). The GLP-1 component mediates glucose-dependent insulin secretion and modulation of satiety; the glucagon component increases energy expenditure and hepatic fat oxidation, which is proposed to contribute to the observed reduction in liver fat. Conjugation to an IgG4 fragment prolongs the half-life and enables weekly administration.

Dove gli studi divergono
Does the greater liver-fat reduction versus semaglutide translate into a relevant clinical benefit in MASH?
Farmacocinetica
Curva teorica di concentrazione con un'emivita di 115 h. Modello puramente farmacocinetico — non una raccomandazione di dose.

Calcolatore di ricostituzione
I peptidi arrivano come polvere secca. Una volta disciolti in un liquido (ricostituzione), questo calcolatore risponde a una sola domanda: quanta sostanza c'è in un millilitro di soluzione dopo?

- 2Inserisci quanto solvente aggiungi.
- 3Risultato = concentrazione in mg per mL.
