| Mechanism of Action | Orforglipron (LY3502970; OWL833) is an oral, non-peptide (small-molecule) GLP-1 receptor agonist. It engages the GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R) through a binding mode fundamentally different from native GLP-1 or peptide-based analogs. Non-Peptide Binding at a Distinct… | Tesofensine blocks the presynaptic reuptake of three monoamine neurotransmitters: noradrenaline (norepinephrine), dopamine, and serotonin.
