Notes: Tirzepatide is an agonist of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor.{67582} It induces cAMP production in HEK293 cells expressing human GLP-1R or human GIP receptor (EC50s = 6.54 and 1.01 nM, respectively). Tirzepatide (100 nM) induces receptor internalization in HEK293 cells expressing human GLP-1R or GIP receptor. In vivo, tirzepatide (10 nmol/kg per day) decreases body weight, food intake, plasma levels of leptin, triglycerides, and free fatty acids (FFAs), hepatic levels of triglycerides, and blood glucose levels in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced obesity.{67583} It prevents A. alternata-induced increases in the numbers of eosinophils and lymphocytes in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from A. alternata-challenged mice when administered at a dose of 50 nmol/kg every three days.{67584} Tirzepatide (50 nmol/kg every three days) inhibits bronchoconstriction induced by the muscarinic receptor agonist methacholine (acetyl-β-methylcholine; Item No. 23092) in a mouse model of diabetes-induced asthma. Formulations containing tirzepatide have been used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
