* Liraglutide (NN2211) is a long-acting GLP-1 analogue In creating liraglutide, two modifications to the amino acid sequence of GLP-1 are made: a fatty acid is acylated to lysine at position 26 and the lysine at position 34 is replaced with arginine. These modifications result in increased self-association (which slows absorption from the subcutaneous depot), albumin binding and reduced susceptibility to DPP-IV, which combine to prolong its plasma half-life, protracting its action. Thus, the problem of the short half-life, which is the major clinical drawback of native GLP-1, is overcome.
