描述
Cotadutide acetate (MEDI0382) is a synthetic peptide designed to simultaneously activate GLP-1 and glucagon receptors. With EC?? values of approximately 6.9 pM for GLP-1R and 10.2 pM for GCGR, this dual action effectively promotes weight loss, improves glucose regulation, and reduces fibrotic tissue formation. Its multi-receptor activity makes it an excellent candidate for studying treatment strategies in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic liver disease.
Manufactured under GMP protocols with 98.88% purity, Cotadutide acetate offers high-quality, reproducible results for advanced metabolic research.

Mechanism of Action & Research Applications
Cotadutide acetate targets both GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, offering combined metabolic benefits:
-
GLP-1R activation: Enhances insulin release, suppresses appetite, and slows gastric emptying.
-
GCGR activation: Increases energy expenditure, reduces fibrosis, and promotes lipid mobilization.
Because of this dual action, Cotadutide is especially valuable in research models focusing on:
-
Weight-loss strategies
-
Glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity
-
Metabolic liver disease and tissue fibrosis
-
Combination metabolic hormone therapies in obesity and diabetes
Side Effects (For Research Context Only)
In experimental models, Cotadutide acetate may induce:
-
Transient gastrointestinal effects such as delayed gastric motility
-
Mild, temporary increases in blood pressure or heart rate due to glucagon receptor activation
-
Potential mild hypoglycemia under fasting or static glucose-level protocols
-
Modulation of lipid profiles and hepatic fat accumulation in metabolic assays
These effects are context-dependent and monitored within controlled study designs to inform therapeutic potential.
