Investigational

Aleniglipron

Aleniglipron is investigational oral small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist (not a peptide; GSBR-1290). Aleniglipron is an experimental daily GLP-1 pill. Like orforglipron, it is a small molecule rather than a peptide, so it can be made like a regular tablet. We list it because it competes with peptide GLP-1 drugs.
