Taspoglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 analog drug under investigation for treatment of type 2 diabetes being co-developed by Ipsen and Roche.[1] [2]

Two phase II trials reported it was effective and well tolerated[3].

Of the eight planned phase III clinical trials of weekly taspoglutide (4 against exenatide, sitagliptin, insulin glargine, and pioglitazone) at least five were active in 2009.[4] Preliminary results in early 2010 were favourable.[5] (At least one of the 8 planned phase III trials had not started recruiting by end 2009.[6])

As of September 2010, Roche had halted Phase III clinical trials due to a incidences of serious hypersensitivity reactions and gastrointestinal side effects.[7][8]

Chemistry

Taspoglutide is the peptide with the sequence H2N-His-2-methyl-Ala-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Val-Ser-Ser-Tyr-Leu-Glu-Gly-Gln-Ala-Ala-Lys-Glu-Phe-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu-Val-Lys-2-methyl-Ala-Arg-CONH2

In other words, it is the 8-(2-methylalanine)-35-(2-methylalanine)-36-L-argininamide derivative of the amino acid sequence 7–36 of human glucagon-like peptide I.
