ADLYXIN

LIXISENATIDE Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Agonists
Metabolic Approved 2016-07-27

SOLIQUA 100/33 is a combination of insulin glargine, a basal insulin analog, and lixisenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This medication is not recommended for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis or for use in combination with other GLP-1 receptor agonists. Additionally, the product has not been studied in combination with prandial insulin.

How ADLYXIN Works

The medication regulates glucose metabolism through the complementary actions of its two components. Insulin glargine lowers blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and fat while inhibiting hepatic glucose production. Lixisenatide acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist that increases glucose-dependent insulin release, decreases glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying. Together, these mechanisms facilitate glycemic control by managing how the body produces and utilizes glucose.

ADLYXIN Target & Pathway

Pro

Target

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) Incretin Receptor

A hormone released after eating that stimulates insulin secretion, suppresses glucagon, slows gastric emptying, and promotes satiety. GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic these effects, improving blood sugar control and promoting weight loss in diabetes and obesity.

Drug = Competitor name Company = Manufacturer N indic. = FDA-approved indications → Date = Patent/exclusivity expiry

Competitors share the same molecular target (GLP-1). Earlier expiry dates signal biosimilar/generic opportunities.
