Mazdutide- Summary
- Tripeptide-29 is a pro-collagen cosmetic peptide composed of proline, hydroxyproline, and glycine — the core repeating unit of collagen. Applied topically, it signals dermal fibroblasts that collagen degradation has occurred, triggering compensatory new collagen synthesis.
- Mazdutide is a once-weekly GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist developed by Innovent Biologics and Eli Lilly. Phase 2 trials in Chinese populations demonstrated up to 11.3% body weight reduction at 6 mg over 24 weeks. It also improves liver fat, glycemic control, and lipid profiles. Phase 3 trials are ongoing primarily in China.
