Product Description

Semaglutide (NNC 0113-0217; NNC-0113-0217; Ozempic) is a novel and potent agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor and belongs to the long-acting GLP-1 analogue. It is authorized for use in the management of type 2 diabetes. Liraglutide, an agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, likewise demonstrated strong neuroprotective effects in animal models of Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, PD patients benefiting from the GLP-1 mimetic exendin-4 have demonstrated positive protective effects in a phase II clinical trial.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GLP-1 receptor
ln Vitro
Semaglutide is derivatized at lysine 26 and differs from human GLP-1 in two amino acid substitutions (Aib8, Arg34). Semaglutide has an affinity for GLP-1R of 0.38±0.06 nM[1]. With a 94% sequence homology to human GLP-1, semaglutide is an analogue of GLP-1[3].
ln Vivo
Semaglutide has an MRT of 63.6 hours after s.c. dosing to mini-pigs and a plasma half-life of 46 hours in mini-pigs after intravenous administration[1]. Motor impairments caused by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) are ameliorated by semaglutide. Semaglutide also protects dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and striatum by rescuing the decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) levels, reducing lipid peroxidation, alleviating inflammation, inhibiting the apoptosis pathway, and increasing the expression of autophagy-related proteins. Furthermore, semaglutide, the long-acting GLP-1 analogue, outperforms NN-2211 in the majority of parameters[2].
Enzyme Assay
HEK293‐SNAP‐GLP‐1R cells were labelled in suspension with SNAP‐Lumi4‐Tb (40 nM, Cisbio, Codelet, France) for 1 hour at room temperature in complete medium. After washing and resuspension in hanks' balanced salt solution containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin and metabolic inhibitors (20 mmol/L 2‐deoxygucose and 10 mmol/L NaN3) to prevent GLP‐1R internalization, binding experiments were performed by time‐resolved förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) using exendin (9‐39) with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) installed at position K12 as previously described. [4]
Cell Assay
Semaglutide activates the GLP-1 receptor in pancreatic beta cells leading to glucose-dependent insulin release. It also decreases glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, and promotes satiety.
Animal Protocol
Mice: Male C57BL/6 mice 10 weeks old (20-25 g) are used throughout the study. Six groups of mice are randomly assigned (n = 12 per group). The treatments were as follows: (i) saline alone was given to the control group; (ii) NN-2211 group received saline and NN-2211 (25 nmol/kg ip. once daily for 7 days); (iii) Semaglutide group received saline and Semaglutide (25 nmol/kg ip. once daily for 7 days); (iv) MPTP group received MPTP alone (once daily 20 mg/kg ip. for 7 days); (v) MPTP (once daily 20 mg/kg ip. for 7 days) was immediately followed by NN-2211 treated group (25 nmol/kg ip. once daily for 7 days). (vi) MPTP (20 mg/kg i.p. once daily for 7 days), which was immediately followed by the group treated with semaglutide (25 nmol/kg i.p. once daily for 7 days). Measure behavioral changes, neuronal damage, inflammatory markers, and other biomarkers at the conclusion of drug treatments[2].

Additional Infomation
Semaglutide is a polypeptide that contains a linear sequence of 31 amino acids joined together by peptide linkages. It is an agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP-1 AR) and used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It has a role as a hypoglycemic agent, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, an anti-obesity agent, a neuroprotective agent and an appetite depressant. It is a polypeptide and a lipopeptide.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analog used to manage type 2 diabetes along with lifestyle changes, such as dietary restrictions and increased physical activity. Other members of this drug class include [Exenatide] and [Liraglutide]. Semaglutide was developed by Novo Nordisk and approved by the FDA for subcutaneous injection in December 2017. The tablet formulation was approved for oral administration in September 2019. Semaglutide works by binding to and activating the GLP-1 receptor, thereby stimulating insulin secretion and reducing blood glucose. The subcutaneous injection is administered once weekly and the tablet is administered once a day. Semaglutide offers a competitive advantage over other drugs used to manage diabetes, which may require several daily doses. Clinical trials have determined that this drug reduces glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and reduces body weight, proving to be effective for patients with type 2 diabetes. In June 2021, semaglutide was approved by the FDA for chronic weight management in adults with general obesity or overweight who have at least one weight-related condition, marking semaglutide as the first approved drug for such use since 2014. The use of semaglutide in weight management is also approved by Health Canada and the EMA. On May 31, 2023, the FDA issued a warning regarding the use of compounded semaglutide after receiving adverse event reports. The use of salt forms of semaglutide, including semaglutide sodium and semaglutide acetate, has not been proven to be safe or effective.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 Receptor Agonist. The mechanism of action of semaglutide is as a Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Agonist.
Semaglutide is a recombinant DNA produced polypeptide analogue of human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which is used in combination with diet and exercise in the therapy of type 2 diabetes, either alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents. There have been no published reports of hepatotoxicity attributed to semaglutide therapy.
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that is 94% homologous to human GLP-1 (7-37), with antihyperglycemic and appetite regulating activities. Upon administration, semaglutide binds to and activates GLP-1 receptor. In pancreatic beta cells, this increases glucose-dependent insulin release. Semaglutide also reduces the elevated glucagon secretion by inhibiting alpha cells of the pancreas and slows gastric emptying. Altogether this lowers the postprandial glucose level. In the brain, the binding to and activation of GLP-1 receptor suppresses appetite, which decreases caloric intake and lowers body weight. GLP-1 is normally secreted by L cells of the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa in response to a meal to normalize blood glucose levels. It also plays an important role in the regulation of appetite and caloric intake.


Semaglutide is indicated to improve glycemic control in adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and is used as an adjunct to diet and exercise. However, semaglutide is not a suitable first-line drug for diabetes that has not been controlled by diet and exercise. In addition, it has not been studied in patients with pancreatitis. Semaglutide is not intended for use in patients with type 1 diabetes or to treat diabetic ketoacidosis. Semaglutide is indicated for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol), for use in addition to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.. Semaglutide it is also indicated for chronic weight management in pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with an initial BMI at the 95th percentile or greater for age and sex.
Semaglutide reduces HbA1c, systolic blood pressure, and body weight. After 12 weeks of treatment, semaglutide decreased fasting and postprandial glucose by increasing insulin production and decreasing glucagon secretion (which is normally associated with increases in blood sugar). Semaglutide also lowers fasting triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol, exerting beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. Semaglutide has been shown to cause medullary thyroid cell carcinoma in rodents. While its clinical relevance to humans is unknown, the FDA advises not to administer this drug in those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma. Semaglutide also poses a risk of pancreatitis and dehydration. Patients must be adequately hydrated while on semaglutide and are advised to seek medical attention immediately in cases of abdominal pain radiating to the back. Because this drug delays gastric emptying, it is important to monitor for the efficacy or adverse effects of other drugs that are administered orally.
Absorption: The Cmax of semaglutide was 10.9 nmol/L, with AUC of 3123.4 nmol h/L and a Tmax of 56 h in one clinical trial, achieved within 1-3 days. The absolute bioavailability is 89%. Steady-state concentration of the oral tablet is achieved in 4-5 weeks. Average steady state concentrations of semaglutide are the mean steady state concentrations after dosing at 0.5mg to 1mg range from 16 nmol/L to 30 nmol/L.
Route of Elimination: This drug is mainly cleared by the kidneys, and is found excreted in both the urine and feces. The main elimination route is the urine by corresponding to 53% of an ingested radiolabeled dose, with 18.6% found in the feces. A smaller amount of 3.2% was found to be exhaled. Hepatic impairment does not appear to affect the clearance of this drug and dose adjustments are not required in patients with decreased liver function.
Volume of Distribution: The volume of distribution of semaglutide is 8L to 9.4L. It crosses the placenta in rats.
Clearance: The clearance rate of semaglutide is 0.039 L/h according to one clinical study. On the FDA label, semaglutide clearance is reported to be about 0.05 L/h in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metabolism / Metabolites: 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.
Biological Half-Life: One of the major properties of semaglutide is its long half-life of 168 h. The long half-life is attributed to its albumin binding. This lowers the renal clearance and protects semaglutide from metabolic breakdown.
Mechanism of Action: Mechanism of glycemic control** GLP-1 is a physiological hormone that promotes glycemic control via several different mechanisms, including insulin secretion, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing postprandial glucagon secretion. The homeostasis of glucose is dependent on hormones such as insulin and amylin, which are secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas. Semaglutide is 94% similar to human GLP-1. Analogs of this hormone such as semaglutide stimulate the synthesis of insulin by stimulating pancreatic islet cells and reducing glucagon secretion. They directly bind with selectivity to the GLP-1 receptor, causing various beneficial downstream effects that reduce blood glucose in a glucose-dependent fashion. **Mechanism of cardiovascular benefit and weight loss** In hypercholesterolemia, semaglutide is believed to reduce the progression of atherosclerosis via decreased gut permeability and decreased inflammation. Weight loss is believed to occur via the reduction of appetite and food cravings after semaglutide administration.

Hepatotoxicity: In large clinical trials, serum enzyme elevations were no more common with semaglutide therapy than with placebo or comparator agents, and no instances of clinically apparent liver injury were reported. Indeed, treatment with semaglutide and other GLP-1 analogues is often associated with improvements in serum aminotransferase levels (and hepatic steatosis) making them possible treatments for nonalcoholic fatty liver. Since licensure, there have been no published case reports of hepatotoxicity due to semaglutide and the product label does not list liver injury as an adverse event. Thus, liver injury due to semaglutide must be rare, if it occurs at all.

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 0.2431 mL 1.2155 mL 2.4310 mL
5 mM 0.0486 mL 0.2431 mL 0.4862 mL
10 mM 0.0243 mL 0.1215 mL 0.2431 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Biological Data
  • The composite primary outcome occurred in 108 of 1648 patients (6.6%) in the semaglutide group and 146 of 1649 (8.9%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58 to 0.95; P<0.001 for noninferiority; P=0.02 for superiority). N Engl J Med . 2016 Nov 10;375(19):1834-1844.
  • At week 104, among patients receiving semaglutide, the mean glycated hemoglobin level decreased from 8.7% at baseline to 7.6% in the group receiving 0.5 mg and to 7.3% in the group receiving 1.0 mg, for changes of −1.1% and −1.4%, respectively; in the placebo group, the mean level decreased to 8.3% in the two dose groups, for a reduction of 0.4% in each group. N Engl J Med . 2016 Nov 10;375(19):1834-1844.
  • Gastrointestinal disorders were more frequent in the semaglutide group than in the placebo group (Table 3, and Table S11 in the Supplementary Appendix). N Engl J Med . 2016 Nov 10;375(19):1834-1844.
