Also known as: Survodutide, BI 456906
Survodutide (BI 456906) is an investigational dual agonist of the glucagon and GLP-1 receptors developed for obesity and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). It is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection.
Sign in to rate this peptide.
Survodutide is a synthetic peptide dual agonist that activates both the glucagon receptor (GCGR) and the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R). GLP-1R activation augments glucose-dependent insulin release, delays gastric emptying, and suppresses appetite via central nervous system pathways, while GCGR activation increases hepatic fatty-acid oxidation, energy expenditure, and reduction of liver fat. This balanced co-agonism is designed to drive weight loss and resolve hepatic steatosis and inflammation, and fatty-acid acylation gives it a half-life suitable for weekly dosing.
