While rare, we take risks like pancreatitis and gallbladder issues seriously
Furthermore, beyond individual scaffold properties, general ADME/PK parameters such as pKa, pH-dependent ionization, and lipophilicity can influence binding orientation and promote ligand inversion, thereby favoring off-target activity
The rationale is that GLP-1 receptor agonists can reduce B12 absorption over time due to their effects on gastric acid production and gut motility
The STEP 8 trial: direct comparison The STEP 8 trial is the most important study for this comparison because it pitted semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly directly against liraglutide 3.0 mg daily in adults with overweight or obesity but without diabetes
