GLP-1R–GIPR–PPARα/γ/δ quintuple agonism corrects obesity and diabetes in mice (opens in new tab)

There are increasing numbers of effective drugs to improve obesity-linked metabolic dysfunction; GLP-1R–GIPR co-agonism is effective in the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes1,2, and lanifibranor—a nuclear-acting small-molecule triple agonist of PPARα, PPARγ and PPARδ—is in clinical phase 3 trials for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis3. Here, seeking to further improve the metabolic efficacy of GLP-1R–GIPR co-agonism, we report the development of a unimo...
