Aims: To describe the in vitro characteristics and antidiabetic in vivo efficacy of the novel glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) GL0034. Materials and Methods: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) kinetic binding parameters, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signalling, endocytosis and recycling were measured using HEK293 and INS-1832/3 cells expressing human GLP-1R. Insulin secretion was measured in vitro using INS-1832/3 cells, mouse islets and human islets. Chronic administration studies to evaluate weight loss and glycaemic effects were performed in db/db and diet-induced obese mice. Results: Compared to the leading GLP-1RA semaglutide, GL0034 showed increased binding affinity and potency-driven bias in favour of cAMP over GLP-1R endocytosis and β-arrestin-2 recruitment. Insulin secretory responses were similar for both ligands. GL0034 (6 nmol/kg) led to at least as much weight loss and lowering of blood glucose as did semaglutide at a higher dose (14 nmol/kg). Conclusions: GL0034 is a G protein-biased agonist that shows powerful antidiabetic effects in mice, and may serve as a promising new GLP-1RA for obese patients with type 2 diabetes.
