Liraglutide (Saxenda) was one of the earlier forms of longer-lasting GLP-1s and reduces HbA1c (average blood glucose) levels by around 1.3% on average and fasting plasma glucose by 2 mmol/L
However, endogenous GLP-1 can be inactivated by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) [4]

PEX-168 is a new agent of long-acting GLP-1R agonist, which is molecularly modified from EX via amino acid modification and PEGylation (119), the first GLP-1R agonist modified by PEG to achieve long-term pharmacological action (120, 121)
