As a global epidemic, obesity has become the biggest challenge facing global and public health. Glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) has been able to inhibit appetite, slow gastric emptying and reduce body weight. We designed a novel long-acting GLP-1 derivative 6-KTP based on wild-type GLP-1 and performed its pharmacodynamics study on obesity in DIO mice. DIO mice were treated once daily with subcutaneous injections of 6-KTP (1.8 mg/kg body weight), Liraglutide (0.4 mg/kg body weight) or vehicle (phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4) for 12 weeks. The results show that 6-KTP decreased food intake, induced anorexia and weight loss, and improved blood lipid and lipid metabolism in DIO mice.
