Enicepatide
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Enicepatide (CT-388) is a cAMP signal-biased dual GLP-1R and GIPR agonist peptide, with an EC50 value of 0.087 nM for GLP-1R cAMP, and an EC50 value of 2.47 nM for GIPR cAMP. Enicepatide activates the cAMP signaling pathway, while recruiting only minimal amounts of β-arrestin-2 at both targets and reducing receptor internalization levels. Enicepatide improves glycemic control, reduces body weight, suppresses appetite, and ameliorates the pathological conditions of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Enicepatide can be used in the research of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.

Biological Activity
Enicepatide acts as a cAMP-signaling biased agonist at the human GLP-1 receptor, potently stimulating cAMP production (EC50 = 0.087 nM) while minimally inducing β-arrestin-2 recruitment and receptor internalization in overexpressed mammalian cell lines[1].
Enicepatide acts as a cAMP-signaling biased agonist at the human GIP receptor, stimulating cAMP production (EC50 = 2.47 nM) while inducing only minimal β-arrestin-2 recruitment and no measurable receptor internalization in overexpressed mammalian cell lines[1].
Enicepatide potently enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in EndoC-βH5 human beta cells with an EC50 of 6.4 nM[1].

Enicepatide (0.15-0.5 mg/kg; s.c.; single dose) dose-dependently increases insulin and C-peptide secretion and lowers blood glucose levels in healthy lean cynomolgus monkeys during an ivGTT[1].
Enicepatide (6 nmol/kg; s.c.; single dose) reduces body weight by ~10% and suppresses food intake in healthy lean mice within 24 hours of a single subcutaneous dose[1].
Enicepatide (2-6 nmol/kg; s.c.; single dose) does not induce significant conditioned taste aversion in healthy lean mice[1].
Enicepatide (6 nmol/kg; s.c.; daily; 21 days) reduces body weight by ~25% and lowers liver weight in diet-induced obese mice[1].
Enicepatide (30 nmol/kg; s.c.; daily; 21 days) reduces body weight by ~20%, suppresses food intake by ~43.5%, and improves glycemic control and metabolic parameters in genetically obese MC4RKO mice[1].
Enicepatide (6 nmol/kg; s.c.; daily; 8 weeks) reduces body weight by ~20% and improves MASH-related pathology, including liver steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning, and liver enzyme levels, in GAN-DIO mice[1].
