The GLP-1 peptide category in contemporary research therefore refers primarily to DPP-4-resistant analogues engineered with fatty-acid acylation, amino-acid substitutions at position 2 (Aib in semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide), and other structural modifications that extend half-life to 12 hours (liraglutide), ~7 days (semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide) and enable once-weekly dosing protocols in in vivo research models
In a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (NCT04881760) involving adults with obesity without type 2 diabetes, retatrutide (1 mg12 mg weekly) produced dose-dependent weight loss of up to 24.2% from baseline at 48 weeks, compared with 2.1% with placebo
