Teriparatide is the N-terminal 1-34 amino acid fragment of human parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is a synthetic, recombinant anabolic agent that represents the biologically active…
Glucagon is a 29-amino acid peptide hormone that plays a critical counter-regulatory role to insulin in glucose homeostasis. It was discovered in 1923 as a…
Insulin lispro is a rapid-acting insulin analog developed to improve postprandial glycemic control in diabetes mellitus. It was the first insulin analog approved for clinical…
A synthetic amylin analog for postprandial glucose control as an adjunct to mealtime insulin in patients on intensive insulin therapy. As of the latest available…
Nesiritide is the recombinant form of human B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a 32-amino acid peptide hormone. It is produced by the ventricular myocardium in response…
Bivalirudin is a synthetic, bivalent direct thrombin inhibitor peptide. It was rationally designed based on the structure of hirudin, the potent natural thrombin inhibitor found…
Eptifibatide is a synthetic, cyclic heptapeptide and a potent, reversible antagonist of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) receptor, also known as integrin αIIbβ3. It was…
A second-generation somatostatin analog with broader receptor binding than octreotide or lanreotide — adds high affinity for SSTR1, SSTR2, SSTR3, and SSTR5.
Degarelix is a synthetic peptide antagonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), also known as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH). It was developed as a therapeutic agent for…
A long-acting somatostatin analog, broadly equivalent to octreotide LAR but delivered as a deep subcutaneous Autogel injection rather than intramuscular depot.
