Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, synthesized through fatty acylation with a spacer and a C-18 fatty diacid, enhancing its binding affinity to albumin, thereby prolonging its half-life and therapeutic action in glycemic control. It functions by mimicking the action of endogenous GLP-1, augmenting glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppressing inappropriately elevated glucagon secretion, and slowing gastric emptying.
