+83The pathway is targeted clinically in three ways: degradation-resistant peptide agonists ([[exenatide]], [[liraglutide]], [[dulaglutide]], [[semaglutide]]), enzyme inhibition (the DPP-4 inhibitor class), and non-peptide agonists suitable for oral administration ([[orforglipron]]). Multi-receptor constructs extend the approach to GIP ([[tirzepatide]]), glucagon ([[survodutide]], [[retatrutide]]) and [[Amylin receptor agonist|amylin]] ([[CagriSema]]) co-agonism.
