SEQUENCE | H-His-Aib-Glu-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Val-Ser-Ser-Tyr-Leu-Glu-Gly-Gln-Ala-Ala-Lys(AEEAc-AEEAc-γ-Glu-carboxyheptadecanoyl)-Glu-Phe-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu-Val-Arg-Gly-Arg-Gly-OH |
FIELDS OF APPLICATION | Treatment of type II diabetes mellitus Treatment of obesity |
ACTIVE SUBSTANCE | The peptide API Semaglutide acts in the same way as GLP-1, the hormone produced in the gut. It helps increase the amount of insulin released by the pancreas in response to consumed food. Semaglutide allows patients with type 2 diabetes to control their blood sugar levels better. |

Semaglutide is a lipopeptide with a linear sequence of 31 amino acids. Like human Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), it is used in combination with diet and exercise in the therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works as an anti-obesity agent, a neuroprotective agent, and an appetite depressant.
Semaglutide can be commercialized as a synthetic generic product after approval of an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) or comparable applications with other regulatory authorities. The length and modifications make technical excellence and regulatory expertise a prerequisite for efficient filing and fast approval. High material quality and yield, robust processes including secure supply and innovative approaches at high-tech facilities will enable our customers to achieve their business goals.
ZB Bio has a long-standing track record in with successful registrations of highly purified synthetic peptide drugs of the glucagon family. Our regulatory intelligence keeps track of important changes in the relevant legislation. This enables us to be a leading global innovator in the field of glucagon and glucagon-like synthetic peptide drugs. Our services have been optimized to shorten timelines and of reduce complexity for our clients.
Our long experience in complex APIs allows us to optimize the processes for high yields at outstanding quality. Our high level of process automation allows for cost-efficient and large-scale production resulting in excellent overall material purity (>99.5%). Innovative solutions like continuous chromatography let us use equipment and resources more efficiently and help us and our partners to achieve their commitment to sustainability and environment-friendly production.
Having our in-house building blocks for peptide synthesis as well as long-term cooperation with trusted suppliers ensures on-time production. Redundancy of multi-purpose equipment and facilities helps to mitigate risks in the supply chain, together with our stock of finished APIs and is the key for on-time product deliveries to our customers.
Beyond GMP-grade semaglutide, we provide semaglutide in research grade, variants thereof and in different salt forms.
