Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist with an albumin-binding fatty-acid side chain that extends its half-life to roughly one week. It is one of the most extensively published incretin analogues, with large randomised trials describing glycaemic control, weight trajectory, and cardiovascular endpoints.
