Glepaglutide (ZP1848) acetate, a long-acting GLP-2 analogue, is a potent GLP-2R agonist. Glepaglutide acetate reduces faecal output and increases intestinal absorption. Glepaglutide acetate alleviates small intestinal inflammation. Glepaglutide acetate can be used in the research of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Crohn’s disease[1][2][3].
Glepaglutide (ZP1848; 200 and 400 nmol/kg, s.c., twice a day for 14 days) acetate shows intestinotrophic effect in rats with small intestinal inflammation[3].
