GLP-1 receptor agonist
Lixisenatide
Lixisenatide is a short-acting once-daily injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes mellitus. It was approved by the FDA in July 2016 under the brand name Adlyxin (and as Lyxumia in the European Union), and was withdrawn from the United States market in 2023 by its manufacturer Sanofi, citing insufficient demand; it remains available in other markets. Pharmacologically it is most similar to exenatide, with which it shares the short-acting prandial-glucose-suppressing profile, in contrast with the long-acting once-weekly semaglutide and dulaglutide.
