Exenatide acetate, 100 mg

Exenatide Acetate is characterized by a well-defined molecular structure, identified as a cyclic peptide. Its molecular formula is C68H97N21O21S2, with a molecular weight of approximately 1600 Da. This compound belongs to the peptide hormone family, specifically the incretin hormone class. Exenatide Acetate is supplied as a white lyophilized powder, with a purity of 96%. It is used primarily as a medication for type 2 diabetes, where it stimulates insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon release, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. Additionally, it exhibits slow degradation in vivo due to its cyclic structure, resulting in prolonged activity compared to linear peptides.
