Apraglutide is a peptide agonist of glucagon-like peptide 2 receptor (GLP-2R).1 It activates GLP-2R in a reporter assay using HEK293 cells expressing the human or rat receptor (EC50s = 0.03 and 0.07 nM, respectively). Apraglutide is selective for GLP-2R over GLP-1R (EC50 = >1,000 nM) and a panel of 73 receptors, five ion channels, and three transporters at 1 µM. Subcutaneous administration of apraglutide (5 mg/kg) increases intestinal length, small intestinal weight, villus height, and crypt depth and reduces fecal fat levels in a neonatal pig model of short bowel syndrome induced by intestinal and ileal resection.2
