Best-Effort Research Profile

Amycretin, also known as zenagamtide and NNC0487-0111, is a long-acting unimolecular peptide designed to activate both GLP-1 and amylin receptors. It remains under clinical-trial development and has been evaluated in phase 1 and phase 2 studies involving overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes populations.

Source review pending. This descriptive profile is shown from the available source material as a best-effort educational reference. It has not passed the full verification bar and is not a dosing instruction, medical claim, or treatment recommendation.

Research Profile

Half-Life
Approximately 4 days based on published Phase 1 pharmacokinetic data for the subcutaneous, once-weekly formulation; the oral once-daily formulation has a different, shorter effective profile.
Administration Routes (Research)
oralsubcutaneous

Research Notes

Amycretin is an investigational compound, not an established approved medicine in the sources reviewed. Early clinical studies reported predominantly gastrointestinal treatment-emergent adverse events, generally mild to moderate. ClinicalTrials.gov records identify completed phase 1 and phase 2 studies, while Novo Nordisk reported in June 2026 that a phase 3 type 2 diabetes program was planned for the second half of 2026.

Supplementary research context only. Not medical advice or a treatment recommendation.

Registry Identifiers

Development code: NNC0487-0111; alternate development name: zenagamtide

Source-Backed Observations

The peptide incorporates structural features described in the primary clinical literature as supporting prolonged exposure, including a C18 diacid-based side chain for reversible albumin binding, an N-terminal 2-aminoisobutyric-acid substitution, and C-terminal amidation. Oral amycretin has been studied with the absorption enhancer SNAC as a formulation component; SNAC is not the active peptide itself.
