Multi-Receptor Agonists

Meaning

Multi-Receptor Agonists are a class of pharmaceutical compounds engineered to activate, or ‘agonize,’ two or more distinct cell-surface receptors simultaneously, often within the same signaling cascade or related physiological systems. These agents are designed to leverage the synergistic effects of multiple hormonal or neurotransmitter pathways to achieve a more robust and comprehensive therapeutic effect than a single-receptor agonist could provide. They represent a sophisticated strategy in modern drug development, particularly in endocrinology and metabolic health.
