TB-500GLP-1 / Weight Loss Agonists
Survodutide- Summary
- TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring peptide found in nearly all human and animal cells. It promotes cell migration to injury sites, accelerates tissue regeneration, and reduces chronic inflammation.
- Survodutide is a once-weekly GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist developed by Boehringer Ingelheim and Zealand Pharma. Phase 2 trials demonstrated up to 18.7% body weight reduction at 46 weeks, among the highest reported for a dual agonist. It is being studied for obesity and MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis), where the glucagon component drives hepatic fat clearance.
