Popular Peptides

Orforglipron

Orforglipron (LY3502970) is a non-peptide, oral GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Eli Lilly. Unlike oral semaglutide (which is a peptide requiring special formulation), orforglipron is a small molecule — the first of a new class of oral GLP-1 drugs that can be taken without fasting restrictions. It is in Phase 3 trials for obesity and type 2 diabetes, with an FDA decision expected in 2026. Projected to reach $16 billion in annual sales by 2031.
