Subcutaneous deposition was also an important part of the mechanism of protraction here, facilitated by the fatty acid in insulin degludec leading to self-assembly into multi-hexamers, but insulin degludec also has a longer intravenous half-life than insulin detemir ( The Discovery of Liraglutide GLP-1 is a 30 amino acid peptide hormone with a short half-life (1.5 min following intravenous dosing and 1.5 h following subcutaneous dosing in humans) ( In attempts to prolong the half-life of GLP-1 and develop a suitable compound for therapeutic use, some pharmaceutical companies ( Initially, a systematic alanine (Ala) scan of the entire GLP-1 sequence was conducted to understand the role of each amino acid in the peptide ( Studies of the structure of class C G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have provided insight on the specific interactions between peptides and receptors ( Building on the findings from the Ala scan, a series of GLP-1 analogs were derivatized with various fatty acids to investigate the effect of the attachment of fatty-acid side chains, as shown in Table 1 (Table 1 ( Table 1 Compounds and their potency measured using the cloned human GLP-1 receptor expressed in baby hamster kidney cells
