teduglutide is an approved drug (FDA and EMA (2012))
Compound class:
Peptide
Comment: Teduglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analogue in which position 2 amino acid alanine is replaced by glycine, increasing the peptide's resistance to proteolytic cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) [2]. The chemical structure shown here was generated using the SMILES from PubChem CID 16139605. The intestinotrophic effects of GLP-2 (e.g. promotion of intestinal growth, reduced epithelial cell apoptosis and inflammation) has led to the development of GLP-2 analogues like teduglutide for the treatment of GI disorders such as short bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel diseases.
