However, a short half‐life (minutes), secondary to rapid inactivation by dipeptidyl peptidase‐IV (DPP‐IV) and excretion, limits the therapeutic potential of the native GLP‐1 hormone. Recently, the GLP‐1 receptor agonist exenatide injected subcutaneously twice daily established a novel therapy class. Developing long‐acting and efficacious GLP‐1 analogues represents a pivotal research goal. We developed a GLP‐1 immunoglobulin G (IgG4) Fc fusion protein (LY2189265) with extended pharmacokinetics and activity.MethodsIn vitro and in vivo activity of LY2189265 was characterized in rodent and primate cell systems and animal models.ResultsLY2189265 retained full receptor activity in vitro and elicited insulinotropic activity in islets similar to native peptide. Half‐life in rats and cynomolgus monkeys was 1.5–2 days, and serum immunoreactivity representing active compound persisted > 6 days. In rats, LY2189265 enhanced insulin responses during graded glucose infusion 24 h after one dose. LY2189265 increased glucose tolerance in diabetic mice after one dose and lowered weight and delayed hyperglycaemia when administered twice weekly for 4 weeks. In monkeys, LY2189265 significantly increased glucose‐dependent insulin secretion for up to a week after one dose, retained efficacy when administered subchronically (once weekly for 4 weeks) and was well tolerated.ConclusionsLY2189265 retains the effects of GLP‐1 with increased half‐life and efficacy, supporting further evaluation as a once‐weekly treatment of type 2 diabetes.
