代谢
Semaglutide 在肽骨架上被裂解,随后是脂肪酸链的β-氧化。天然存在的GLP-1迅速被二肽基肽酶-4(DPP-4)和其他普遍存在于人体组织中的酶代谢。化学结构修饰使得semaglutide对胃肠道DPP-4酶的降解作用不太敏感。它被缓慢且广泛地代谢,大约83%的给药剂量在血浆中以未改变的药物形式被测量到。神经内肽酶(NEP)是另一种代谢这种药物的酶。DPP-4使semaglutide失活,截断N端片段,而NEP水解肽键。在人类血浆中已经鉴定出semaglutide的六种不同代谢物。主要代谢物P3约占摄入剂量的7.7%。
Semaglutide is cleaved at the peptide backbone, followed by β‐oxidation of the fatty acid chain. Naturally occurring GLP‐1 is quickly metabolized by dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP‐4) and other enzymes, which is ubiquitous in human tissues. Chemical structure modifications render semaglutide less susceptible to enzymatic degradation by gastrointestinal DPP‐4 enzymes. It is slowly and extensively metabolized, with about 83% of the administered dose measured in the plasma as unchanged drug. Neural endopeptidase (NEP) is another enzyme that metabolizes this drug. DPP-4 inactivates semaglutide, truncating the N-terminal segment while NEP hydrolyzes peptide bondsSix different metabolites of semaglutide have been identified in human plasma. The major metabolite, named P3, accounts for about 7.7% of an ingested dose.
