皮下注射后吸收相对缓慢，绝对生物利用度约为百分之八十九，血药浓度峰值通常出现在给药后一到三天。与白蛋白结合使清除减慢，终末半衰期约为一百六十五小时，接近一周。连续给药约四到五周后达到稳态暴露水平。表观分布容积约为每千克零点二五升，血浆蛋白结合率超过百分之九十九。代谢以蛋白水解切割和脂肪二酸侧链的 β-氧化为主，相关产物主要经尿液与粪便排出。
序列层面的改动同时解决了两个问题，即酶解稳定性与肾脏清除速度。天然 GLP-1 在循环中的半衰期仅约两分钟，主要被二肽基肽酶-4 迅速灭活。酰化侧链与白蛋白的可逆结合形成循环储库，使分子缓慢释放并持续激活受体。这种设计思路后来被广泛用于同类长效肽的开发，属于该类药物化学改造的典型范式。
Semaglutide 是一种经结构修饰的胰高血糖素样肽-1 类似物，其主链与内源性 GLP-1(7-36) 约有百分之九十四的序列一致性。第 8 位丙氨酸被 α-氨基异丁酸取代，使二肽基肽酶-4 无法识别原有切割位点。第 34 位赖氨酸换为精氨酸，进一步降低酶解速率。第 26 位赖氨酸经间隔基连接一条含十八个碳的二酸脂肪链，该侧链赋予分子与血浆白蛋白结合的能力。
Clinical development of this compound followed earlier short-acting GLP-1 analogues that required frequent injection. Once-weekly subcutaneous formulations entered use after 2017, and an oral formulation using a permeation enhancer later became available. The oral version pairs the peptide with sodium N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate, a carrier that improves uptake across the gastric epithelium. Interest has expanded from glycaemic control into weight management and metabolic liver disease. Regulatory status and approved indications differ between countries, and the product remains subject to ongoing safety monitoring.
Semaglutide is a synthetic peptide that acts as an agonist at the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor. It is a structural analogue of human GLP-1(7-37), modified to resist enzymatic degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase-4. The peptide backbone contains alpha-aminoisobutyric acid at position 8, a substitution that stabilises the helix and slows cleavage. A fatty diacid side chain attached through a linker at lysine 34 promotes binding to serum albumin, which extends the circulating half-life. These two modifications together allow less frequent administration than native GLP-1 requires.

Serum protein binding dominates the pharmacokinetic profile. The attached chain associates strongly with albumin, shielding the peptide from enzymatic attack and slowing filtration by the kidney. This interaction extends the circulation half-life to roughly one week in humans, which supports weekly administration intervals. An oral version pairs the peptide with an absorption enhancer that transiently alters gastric epithelium, permitting limited uptake; bioavailability by that route is substantially lower than by injection.
Semaglutide belongs to the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist class, a group of synthetic peptides that imitate an incretin hormone released by intestinal L cells after food intake. Native GLP-1 circulates for only a few minutes because dipeptidyl peptidase-4 cleaves it rapidly. The hormone acts on pancreatic islets, the gastrointestinal tract, and several brain regions. Because the natural peptide is short-lived, development work concentrated on analogues that keep receptor activity while resisting enzymatic breakdown and renal clearance.
Two structural features account for the prolonged half-life of semaglutide. A modified amino acid at position 8 resists cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase-4, the enzyme that rapidly degrades native GLP-1. A fatty diacid side chain binds serum albumin, which limits renal clearance and protects the peptide from enzymatic breakdown. These modifications yield a plasma half-life of approximately one week in humans, allowing once-weekly administration. The relationship between plasma concentration and clinical effect varies between individuals, and sources of that variability are still being characterized.
Semaglutide is a synthetic peptide analog of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone released from intestinal L-cells after food intake. The compound belongs to the incretin mimetic class and acts at GLP-1 receptors distributed across pancreatic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and central nervous system tissues. Compared with native GLP-1, the molecule carries structural changes that extend its activity from minutes to roughly one week. It is studied for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes and for weight management, and its effects on cardiovascular and other outcomes remain active research areas.
Receptor binding triggers G protein signaling that raises intracellular cyclic AMP in pancreatic beta cells. Insulin release follows in a glucose-dependent manner, so secretion increases when blood glucose is elevated and diminishes when it is not. The same signaling suppresses glucagon release from alpha cells and slows gastric emptying, which blunts the post-meal glucose rise. In the brain, receptor activation in regions such as the arcuate nucleus is associated with reduced appetite and lower energy intake. How much each of these effects contributes to overall weight change is not fully settled.
Receptor activation follows the canonical Gs pathway: binding increases intracellular cyclic AMP, which promotes protein kinase A activity. In pancreatic beta cells this amplifies glucose-dependent insulin release, so secretion rises when blood glucose is high and changes little when it is low. The same signalling suppresses glucagon release from alpha cells and slows gastric emptying. Receptors in the hypothalamus and brainstem are thought to contribute to reduced appetite and lower energy intake. Which of these effects dominates clinical outcomes remains an area of active study.
Semaglutide is a synthetic peptide analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1, a gut hormone released by intestinal L cells after food intake. The natural hormone acts on pancreatic and central receptors but is degraded within minutes by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and other peptidases. Semaglutide belongs to the class of long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonists, a group distinguished by structural changes that slow breakdown and extend circulation time. Its development followed earlier short-acting analogues and reflects a general strategy in peptide drug design: preserve receptor activity while blocking proteolytic clearance.
Three structural changes define the molecule. At position 8 an alpha-aminoisobutyric acid residue replaces alanine, which blocks dipeptidyl peptidase-4 cleavage. At position 34 arginine replaces lysine, and at position 26 a lysine carries a C18 fatty diacid attached through a short linker. The fatty chain binds serum albumin, and this albumin association reduces renal filtration and enzymatic attack. The unchanged backbone retains the receptor contacts that produce signalling. The free base has the formula C187H291N45O59 and a molecular weight near 4114 daltons.
Pharmacological activity arises from agonism at the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, a G protein-coupled receptor expressed in the pancreas, the gastrointestinal tract, and the brainstem. Receptor activation raises intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate and enhances insulin release in a glucose-dependent manner, an effect that diminishes when blood glucose concentration is low. Other effects include slowed gastric emptying and hypothalamic satiety signalling. These pathways are described well. Receptor desensitisation rates across tissues, relative to the endogenous hormone, are still under investigation, and reported findings differ between laboratories.
The company that developed the compound filed it as a long-acting analogue, and it gained first approval in 2017 for type 2 diabetes. Later authorisations from several regulators extended the indication to chronic weight management, and the World Health Organization added the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist drug class to its model list of essential medicines in 2023. Production uses solid-phase peptide synthesis followed by side-chain conjugation and chromatographic purification. Supply constraints and cost differences across regions are well documented. Literature on long-term outcomes continues to grow, with many trials reporting surrogate endpoints rather than hard clinical endpoints.
Semaglutide is a synthetic peptide of thirty-one amino acids that shares roughly ninety-four percent sequence identity with human glucagon-like peptide-1. Two substitutions resist enzymatic cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase-4, and a fatty diacid side chain attached through a linker promotes binding to serum albumin. That albumin binding slows renal clearance and extends the circulating half-life from minutes to approximately one week. The structural changes are well established in the published literature. Whether the same modifications affect receptor signalling bias in ways that matter clinically remains an open question.
Some primary care providers may also take care of hospitalized patients and deliver babies in a secondary care setting. Tertiary care medical services are provided by specialist teams of providers in larger, more specialised hospitals or regional medical centers, which are equipped with diagnostic and treatment facilities not typically available at local (often smaller) hospitals. This allows for the treatment and care of patients with more complex or urgent or serious medical conditions, which in turn may require more expertise (including multi-disciplinary teams) and resources (facilities, staff, bed days) to effectively treat. Tertiary care may include that provided at burn treatment or trauma centers, advanced neonatology unit services, organ transplants, high-risk pregnancy and child delivery, radiation oncology, and very many other forms of specialist and intensive care. Modern medical care also depends on the keeping and use of information, including about a particular patient—still kept in many health care settings on paper 'medical records', but increasingly nowadays by electronic means. In low-income countries, modern healthcare is often too expensive for the average person. International healthcare policy researchers have advocated that "user fees" be removed in these areas to ensure access; however, even with removal of patient fee obligations, significant costs and barriers remain for the poor and the sick in accessing sufficient care.
BOP (benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate) is a reagent commonly used for the synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids and amines in peptide synthesis. It can be prepared from 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and a chlorophosphonium reagent under basic conditions. This reagent has advantages in peptide synthesis since it avoids side reactions like the dehydration of asparagine or glutamine residues. BOP has used for the synthesis of esters from the carboxylic acids and alcohols. BOP has also been used in the reduction of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols with sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Its use raises safety concerns since the carcinogenic compound HMPA is produced as a stoichiometric by-product.
2 H3N+CH2COO− → H3N+CH2CONHCH2COO− + H2O Pyrolysis of glycine or glycylglycine gives 2,5-diketopiperazine, the cyclic diamide. Glycine forms esters with alcohols. They are often isolated as their hydrochloride, such as glycine methyl ester hydrochloride. Otherwise, the free ester tends to convert to diketopiperazine.
=== Fibrosis === Fibrosis is the scarring of connective tissue, one attribute is the excess deposition of collagen in the extracellular matrix of tissue. Research has shown that HSPs have a role in fibrotic diseases. HSP47 has been shown to be pro-fibrosis in various fibrotic diseases. During the process of fibrosis, HSP47 is expressed and is involved in the production of collagen. HSP47 could be a potential therapeutic agent for fibrotic disease, a down-regulation of HSP47 leads to decreased fibrotic progression.
All known isotopes of curium are radioactive and have small critical mass for a nuclear chain reaction. The most stable isotope, 247Cm, has a half-life of 15.6 million years; the longest-lived curium isotopes predominantly emit alpha particles. Radioisotope thermoelectric generators can use the heat from this process, but this is hindered by the rarity and high cost of curium. Curium is used in making heavier actinides and the 238Pu radionuclide for power sources in artificial cardiac pacemakers and RTGs for spacecraft. It served as the α-source in the alpha particle X-ray spectrometers of several space probes, including the Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity Mars rovers and the Philae lander on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, to analyze the composition and structure of the surface.

Game playing programs have been used since the 1950s to demonstrate and test AI's most advanced techniques. Deep Blue became the first computer chess-playing system to beat a reigning world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, on 11 May 1997. In 2011, in a Jeopardy! quiz show exhibition match, IBM's question answering system, Watson, defeated the two greatest Jeopardy! champions, Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings, by a significant margin. In March 2016, AlphaGo won 4 out of 5 games of Go in a match with Go champion Lee Sedol, becoming the first computer Go-playing system to beat a professional Go player without handicaps. Then, in 2017, it defeated Ke Jie, who was the best Go player in the world. Other programs handle imperfect-information games, such as the poker-playing program Pluribus. DeepMind developed increasingly generalistic reinforcement learning models, such as with MuZero, which could be trained to play chess, Go, or Atari games. In 2019, DeepMind's AlphaStar achieved grandmaster level in StarCraft II, a particularly challenging real-time strategy game that involves incomplete knowledge of what happens on the map. In 2021, an AI agent competed in a PlayStation Gran Turismo competition, winning against four of the world's best Gran Turismo drivers using deep reinforcement learning. In 2024, Google DeepMind introduced SIMA, a type of AI capable of autonomously playing nine previously unseen open-world video games by observing screen output, as well as executing short, specific tasks in response to natural language instructions.
==== 14 March ==== Following the secession of Slovakia and Ruthenia, British Ambassador to Czechoslovakia Basil Newton advised President Hácha to meet with Hitler. When Hácha arrived in Berlin on 14 March, he met with the German Foreign Minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop prior to meeting with Hitler. Von Ribbentrop testified at the Nuremberg trials that during this meeting, Hácha had told him that "he wanted to place the fate of the Czech State in the Führer's hands." Hácha later met with Hitler, where Hitler gave the Czech President two options: cooperate with Germany, in which case the "entry of German troops would take place in a tolerable manner" and "permit Czechoslovakia a generous life of her own, autonomy and a degree of national freedom..." or face a scenario in which "resistance would be broken by force of arms, using all means." Minutes of the conversation noted that for Hácha this was the most difficult decision of his life but believed that in only a few years this decision would be comprehensible and in 50 years would probably be regarded as a blessing. After the negotiations had finished, Hitler told his secretaries, "It is the greatest triumph of my life! I shall enter history as the greatest German of them all." According to Joachim Fest, Hácha suffered a heart attack induced by Hermann Göring's threat to bomb the capital and by four o'clock he contacted Prague, effectively "signing Czechoslovakia away" to Germany.
=== In the geriatric population === There are physical, physiological, or mental differences in the geriatric population that could potentially lead to poor nutrient intake that would require them to have nutrition therapy. Geriatric patients are more inclined to have delayed muscle restoration compared to the younger population. Additionally, older patients are observed to have greater cardiac and renal impairment, insulin resistance, and to have deficiencies in vitamins and crucial elements. Patients who require nutrition therapy but have contraindications for or cannot tolerate enteral nutrition are appropriate candidates for parenteral nutrition. In the geriatric population, it is indicated if oral or enteral nutrition is impossible for 3 days or when oral or enteral nutrition is likely insufficient for more than 7 to 10 days. While there are no complications of parenteral nutrition specific to the geriatric population, complications are more prevalent in this population due to increased comorbidities.
The Moskovskaya Okruzhnaya Zheleznaya Doroga (orbital railway line) has formed a ring around Moscow's current downtown since 1903. However, this line was a non-electrified, locomotive-only railway before reconstruction into the MCC during the 2010s. The Moscow Central Circle is a 54-kilometer (34 mi) orbital urban rail transit line that encircles historic Moscow. This line was built alongside the Little Ring of the Moscow Railway, incorporating some of its tracks. The MCC was opened for passenger use on 10 September 2016. The MCC line is operated by the Moscow government-owned company MKZD through the Moscow Metro, with the federal government-owned Russian Railways as the operations subcontractor.

差别集中在三处：第 8 位残基被非天然氨基酸取代，第 34 位换成精氨酸，第 26 位增加一条脂肪酸侧链。前两处改动降低酶解速率，侧链则通过白蛋白结合延长循环时间。综合结果是半衰期从约两分钟延长到约一周。
胰岛素释放需要细胞内环腺苷酸与钙信号升高，同时依赖葡萄糖代谢产生的协同信号。血糖水平较低时协同信号不足，分泌增强有限。这一机制在降糖效果与低血糖风险之间提供了缓冲。
白蛋白结合是主要原因，它减少肾小球滤过并保护分子免受蛋白酶降解。序列修饰带来的酶解抵抗同样不可忽略，二者共同作用。脂肪链的疏水性还会影响组织分布，但其对总半衰期的贡献程度仍在研究之中。
It belongs to the incretin mimetic class and acts as a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. The class includes several peptides with different half-lives and routes of administration.
