Research background
Semaglutide is an analog of the human GLP-1 peptide modified at two points: a substitution that protects it from degradation by the DPP-4 enzyme, and a fatty acid chain that binds it to plasma albumin. Those two modifications are what stretch its half-life from minutes to days.
It is among the metabolic peptides with the most literature behind them: large clinical trial programs on glycemic control and body weight, plus preclinical work on the GLP-1 receptors of the pancreas, the hypothalamus and the digestive tract. In research it is often used as the comparator against which new molecules are measured.
Reconstitution and handling
- Work on a clean surface and disinfect the vial stopper with an alcohol wipe before piercing it.
- Add the bacteriostatic water slowly, letting it run down the inner wall of the vial rather than landing on the powder.
- Do not shake. Swirl the vial gently until the lyophilized powder has fully dissolved: vigorous agitation degrades the peptide.
- The solution should come out clear. If it turns cloudy or shows suspended particles, do not use it.
Storage and stability
- Before reconstitution: refrigerated between 2 and 8 °C, protected from light and moisture.
- After reconstitution: in the fridge and away from light. In solution the peptide lasts far less than as a powder, so it is best used soon.
- Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
