CT-996 is an orally active GLP-1RA agonist, with an EC50 of 0.49 nM. CT-996 reduces the β-arrestin recruitment and GLP-1R internalization. CT-996 suppresses postprandial blood glucose following a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) in mice expressing the human GLP-1 receptor and enhances glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) during an intravenous glucose challenge in obese monkeys. CT-996 can be used for the study of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity[1][2].
