Structural insights into the activation of GLP-1R by a small molecule agonist
Dear Editor,
The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor(GLP-1R)belongs to class B G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs).It is a clinically proven target for type 2 diabetes and obesity.1 Several peptidic drugs have been approved including one in pill form,the oral semaglutide.Despite these advances,oral non-peptidic medicines have been pursued across the pharmaceutical industry for improved patient compliance with reduced side effects such as nausea and vomiting.1 The discovery of non-peptidic drugs has been hampered for many years,primarily owing to the difficulty of mimicking the peptide-receptor interactions with small molecule non-peptidic agonists.
