Tirzepatide is a synthetic linear peptide comprised of 39 amino acids, chemically modified with a C20 fatty diacid side chain to prolong its action. It is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.
Pharmaceutical Grade: Marketed as Mounjaro® (for type 2 diabetes) and Zepbound® (for weight management). Formulated for injection.
Chemical/Research Grade: A high-purity (>95%, often >98%), lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, typically sold in milligram quantities. It is not sterile or formulated for human use.
In this context, it serves as a precise biochemical tool:
Pharmacology & Biochemistry Research:
Mechanism of Action Studies: Used in vitro (cell cultures) and in vivo (animal models) to dissect the signaling pathways, receptor binding kinetics, and downstream effects of dual GIP/GLP-1 agonism.
Comparative Studies: To benchmark efficacy and selectivity against other incretin mimetics (e.g., semaglutide) in controlled experimental systems.
Analytical Reference Standard:
Quality Control: Serves as the primary reference standard in HPLC, LC-MS/MS, and other assays to identify, quantify, and determine the purity of tirzepatide in pharmaceutical development.
Bioanalysis: Used to develop and validate methods for measuring tirzepatide concentrations in biological matrices (plasma, tissues) during preclinical pharmacokinetic studies.
Preclinical Drug Development:
Proof-of-Concept Studies: Employed in animal models of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome to investigate therapeutic potential, optimal dosing, and safety profiles before clinical trials.
Metabolic Research: A key tool for studying integrated metabolism, energy homeostasis, and appetite regulation in specialized research settings.
Not for Human Use: For laboratory research only.
Handling: Requires reconstitution with appropriate buffers. It is a peptide, requiring storage at -20°C or below to maintain stability.
Regulatory: While a research chemical, it is often subject to controlled purchase due to its status as a patented pharmaceutical agent.
| Aspect | Description |
