Unimolecular Poly-Agonists

Meaning

Unimolecular poly-agonists are a sophisticated class of therapeutic agents engineered as a single molecule capable of simultaneously activating multiple distinct G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) involved in complex metabolic and hormonal regulation. These molecules are designed to mimic the coordinated actions of several endogenous hormones, such as GLP-1, Glucagon, and GIP, to achieve superior and more comprehensive physiological effects. They represent a significant advancement in the pharmacological treatment of metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes and obesity.
