Vesugen- Summary
- Eloralintide is a long-acting amylin analog under development by OPKO Health. Amylin is co-secreted with insulin and regulates post-meal glucose by slowing gastric emptying, suppressing glucagon, and promoting satiety. Eloralintide is designed for once-weekly dosing, differentiating it from the short-acting pramlintide (Symlin). It is being studied for obesity and type 2 diabetes as a complement to GLP-1 based therapies.
- Vesugen is a tripeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu-Asp) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for blood vessels and the vascular endothelium. It supports endothelial cell function, promotes vascular wall integrity, and is studied for atherosclerosis prevention, vascular aging, and cardiovascular health maintenance. It is one of the more broadly applicable Khavinson bioregulators given the ubiquity of vascular tissue.
