The molecule is a synthetic 39-amino-acid peptide whose backbone derives from the sequence of human glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, with several substitutions that raise metabolic stability and shift receptor preference. A C20 fatty diacid is attached through a short linker to a lysine side chain, a modification that increases binding to serum albumin. The reported monoisotopic mass is approximately 4813 Da. Near neutral pH the peptide carries a net negative charge, and the lipid tail makes the molecule markedly more hydrophobic than the unmodified parent sequence.
Dual agonism at the GIP and GLP-1 receptors underlies the observed pharmacology. Activation of GLP-1 receptors raises glucose-dependent insulin release, lowers glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying and reduces appetite. GIP receptor activation contributes additional effects on adipose tissue and on energy balance, and the combined action on appetite appears larger than either pathway alone in animal models. Signalling bias and the relative contribution of each receptor arm to weight-related effects remain areas of active investigation.
The compound first appeared in the scientific literature as an investigational agent for type 2 diabetes. Clinical development proceeded through phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 programs that measured glycemic control as a primary endpoint while recording body weight as a secondary outcome. Regulatory approval in the United States followed in 2022 for glycemic control, and a separate indication for chronic weight management was added later. Subsequent trials have examined cardiovascular outcomes in adults with elevated cardiovascular risk. Debates continue over how much of the observed effect derives from each receptor arm.
Structural work on the molecule centers on a C20 fatty diacid moiety attached through a linker to the peptide backbone. This side chain promotes reversible binding to serum albumin, which slows renal clearance and supports a prolonged action profile. The peptide backbone incorporates aminoisobutyric acid substitutions that limit recognition by digestive enzymes. Together these modifications produce a molecule that is stable enough for subcutaneous delivery but still dependent on careful manufacturing control. Analytical characterization of the active pharmaceutical ingredient typically follows the conventions used for other synthetic peptides.
Tirzepatide is a synthetic peptide composed of 39 amino acids. It acts as a dual agonist at two incretin receptors, the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor and the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor. The molecule was designed by modifying the native sequence of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide to improve metabolic stability and extend its circulation time. Its structure includes several non-natural amino acid residues and a fatty acid side chain. These features distinguish it from earlier single-receptor incretin analogs studied in the same period.

Cold-chain handling is standard for formulated product, with dry powder stored frozen and ready-to-use solutions refrigerated. Light exposure is minimized because photodegradation of certain amino acid side chains is possible. Shipping and temperature-excursion studies are used to establish whether short deviations affect quality attributes. Documentation supplied with research material usually includes a certificate of analysis listing purity, identity confirmation, and water or residual solvent content. Users are expected to confirm that material meets the stated specification before use.
Identity and purity of tirzepatide are assessed mainly by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection, often paired with mass spectrometry. Because the molecule carries several modifications, gradient conditions are adjusted to resolve the intact peptide from deamidation and oxidation products. Enzymatic digestion followed by peptide mapping confirms the primary sequence and locates specific modifications. Quantitation in biological matrices typically uses liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry after solid-phase extraction. Immunoassays are used less often, since antibody cross-reactivity with closely related peptides can bias results.
The peptide shares degradation routes common to modified peptides: deamidation of asparagine and glutamine residues, oxidation of methionine, and backbone hydrolysis under extreme pH. Lyophilized material is generally more stable than a solution, and residual water content directly affects the rate of hydrolysis. In liquid form, aggregation and visible particles can appear after agitation or repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Stability studies therefore track monomer content, aggregate content, and potency over months under defined temperature and humidity.
定量分析的主流方法是反相高效液相色谱联用紫外或质谱检测，利用肽在疏水固定相上的保留行为确定纯度与含量。对于生物基质中的浓度测定，常采用液相色谱串联质谱，并配合固相萃取或蛋白沉淀进行样品前处理。免疫分析法也可使用，但可能受到结构相关肽的交叉反应干扰。
纯度评估通常综合反相色谱、体积排阻色谱与质谱三方面信息：前者反映疏水性杂质，后者反映聚集体，质谱则确认分子量与主要降解产物。有关降解途径的完整图谱——例如脱酰胺、氧化与水解各占多大比例——在不同储存条件下仍有差异，属于需要逐案验证的问题。
Tirzepatide is a synthetic peptide developed as a dual agonist at the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors. Its structure is built on a GIP-derived backbone with non-natural amino acid substitutions and a fatty diacid side chain that promotes albumin binding and slows clearance. That modification supports once-weekly subcutaneous dosing. Registrational trial programs reported reductions in body weight and glycated hemoglobin alongside the drug's glycemic effects.
Both receptors are class B G protein-coupled receptors that signal largely through Gs-mediated cyclic AMP production. Activation within pancreatic islets increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon release when glucose is elevated. Outside the pancreas, signaling in the central nervous system and gut appears to influence appetite and gastric emptying. The relative contribution of each receptor to observed clinical effects remains under investigation, and the two pathways are not simply additive in practice.
当前公开资料把 tirzepatide 归为肠促胰素类受体双重激动剂。它并非激素天然变体，而是经过序列改造的工程化肽。其分子量、等电点与疏水性等基础参数已在药典和化学数据库中收录，可作为分析检测和质量研究的参照。
Tirzepatide 是一种由 39 个氨基酸组成的合成肽，分子结构上以 GIP 序列为骨架并引入脂肪酸侧链修饰，使其能够同时与葡萄糖依赖性促胰岛素多肽（GIP）受体和胰高血糖素样肽-1（GLP-1）受体结合。这种双重激动特性使它在同类肽类药物中区别于选择性 GLP-1 受体激动剂。该分子最早由一家制药公司在 2010 年代报道，随后进入糖尿病与体重管理领域的临床研究。
在生理层面，GIP 与 GLP-1 均为肠道内分泌细胞分泌的肠促胰素，进食后参与胰岛素分泌调节与胃排空抑制。Tirzepatide 通过同时激活这两条信号通路，使胰岛素分泌的葡萄糖依赖性增强，并延缓冲胃排空、降低食欲信号。与单一 GLP-1 激动相比，双靶点作用在血糖控制和体重变化上的效应幅度更大，但具体贡献比例仍在研究之中。
== History == During the Soyuz 6 mission of 1969, Russian cosmonauts performed the first welding experiments in space. Three different welding processes were tested using a hardware unit called Vulkan. The tests included welding aluminum, titanium, and stainless steel. The Skylab mission, launched in May 1973, served as a laboratory to perform various space manufacturing experiments. The station was equipped with a materials processing facility that included a multi-purpose electric furnace, a crystal growth chamber, and an electron beam gun. Among the experiments to be performed was research on molten metal processing; photographing the behavior of ignited materials in zero-gravity; crystal growth; processing of immiscible alloys; brazing of stainless steel tubes, electron beam welding, and the formation of spheres from molten metal. The crew spent a total of 32 man-hours on materials science and space manufacturing investigation during the mission. The Space Studies Institute began hosting a bi-annual Space Manufacturing Conference in 1977 . Microgravity research in materials processing continued in 1983 using the Spacelab facility. This module has been carried into orbit 26 times aboard the Space Shuttle, as of 2002. In this role the shuttle served as an interim, short-duration research platform before the completion of the International Space Station.
In Plaumann & Co v Commission the Court of Justice held that a clementine importer was not individually concerned when the Commission refused permission to Germany to stop import custom duties. This kept it more expensive for Mr Plaumann to import clementines, but it was equally expensive for everyone else. This decision heavily restricted the number of people who could claim for judicial review. In Unión de Pequeños Agricultores, Advocate General Jacobs propose a broader test of allowing anyone to claim if there was a "substantial adverse effect" on the claimant's interests. Here, a group of Spanish olive oil producers challenged Council Regulation No 1638/98, which withdrew subsidies. Because Regulations are not implemented in national law, but have direct effect, they argued the requirement for individual concern would deny them effective judicial protection. The Court of Justice held that direct actions were still not allowed: if this was unsatisfactory the member states would have to change the treaties. Individual concern is not needed, however under article 263(4), if an act is not legislation, but just a "regulatory act". In Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami v Parliament and Council the Court of Justice affirmed that a Regulation does not count as a "regulatory act" within the Treaty's meaning: it is only meant for acts of lesser importance. Here, a Canadian group representing the Inuit wished to challenge a Regulation on seal products, but were not allowed. They would have to show both direct and individual concern as normal.
The work, valued at R$100 million, the most expensive of his government, was handed over to the company Reflorestadora Rio Pedreira, belonging to Breno Chaves Pinto, second deputy of senator Davi Alcolumbre, and will have the majority of its finances through resources from the "secret budget" sent by the parliamentarian himself. After taking office as minister, Waldez left his party, also denying that he would join União Brasil, contrary to the expectations of the party's parliamentarians and Alcolumbre's allies.
=== Entrepreneurship and biotechnology investing === Springer co-founded biotechnology companies Scholar Rock in 2012, Morphic Therapeutic in 2015, Tectonic Therapeutic in 2019, and Seismic Therapeutic in 2022. He was also an early investor in Selecta Biosciences and Editas Medicine. Springer was a founding investor of Moderna after investing USD$5 million in 2010. He was the company's fourth-largest shareholder and made USD$400 million when the company launched its initial public offering (IPO) in 2018. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Forbes estimated Springer's net worth as USD$1 billion after in share price of biotechnology companies surged.

In May 2019, in a milestone effort, researchers reported the creation of a new synthetic (possibly artificial) form of viable life, a variant of the bacteria Escherichia coli, by reducing the natural number of 64 codons in the bacterial genome to 59 codons instead, in order to encode 20 amino acids. In 2017, the international Build-a-Cell large-scale open-source research collaboration for the construction of synthetic living cells was started, followed by national synthetic cell organizations in several countries, including FabriCell, MaxSynBio and BaSyC. The European synthetic cell efforts were unified in 2019 as SynCellEU initiative. In 2023, researchers were able to create the first synthetically made human embryos derived from stem cells.
Although showing fermentation resulted from the action of living microorganisms was a breakthrough, it did not explain the basic nature of fermentation; nor did it prove it is caused by microorganisms which appear to be always present. Many scientists, including Pasteur, had unsuccessfully attempted to extract the fermentation enzyme from yeast. Success came in 1897 when the German chemist Eduard Buechner ground up yeast, extracted a juice from them, then found to his amazement this "dead" liquid would ferment a sugar solution, forming carbon dioxide and alcohol much like living yeasts. Buechner's results are considered to mark the birth of biochemistry. The "unorganized ferments" behaved just like the organized ones. From that time on, the term enzyme came to be applied to all ferments. It was then understood fermentation is caused by enzymes produced by microorganisms. In 1907, Buechner won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work. Advances in microbiology and fermentation technology have continued steadily up until the present. For example, in the 1930s, it was discovered microorganisms could be mutated with physical and chemical treatments to be higher-yielding, faster-growing, tolerant of less oxygen, and able to use a more concentrated medium.
== Angle formulas == If e, f, g and h are the tangent lengths from the vertices A, B, C and D respectively to the points where the incircle is tangent to the sides of a tangential quadrilateral ABCD, then the angles of the quadrilateral can be calculated from
In September 2014, Creative Business House along with Donnons Leur Une Chance, created the International Dwarf Fashion Show to raise awareness and boost self-confidence of people living with dwarfism. A number of reality television series on Lifetime, beginning with Little Women: LA in 2014, focused on showing the lives of women living with dwarfism in various cities around the United States.
== Vapor-ion, charge transfer reaction == The analytes are in the vapor phase. This includes breath, odors, VOCs, and other molecules with low volatility that, due to the constant improvements in sensitivity, are detectable in the vapor phase despite their low vapor pressure. Analyte ions are produced via gas-phase chemical reactions, where charging agents collide with the analyte molecules and transfer their charge. In secondary electro-spray ionization (SESI), a nano-electrospray operated at high temperature produces nanodroplets that evaporate very rapidly to produce ions and protonated water clusters that ionize the vapors of interest. SESI is commonly used for the analysis of trace concentrations of vapors being able to detect low volatility species in the gas phase with molecular masses of up to 700 Da.

Between the 2023 and 2026 elections, Thailand had three prime ministers from two parties succeed each other. Srettha Thavisin lasted 358 days but was dismissed by the Constitutional Court on 14 August 2024 over his appointment of Pichit Chuenban to his cabinet. He was succeeded by Paetongtarn Shinawatra from Pheu Thai who was prime minister for little over a year but was suspended on 1 July 2025. Following a skirmish between Thai and Cambodian soldiers on 28 May 2025, a border crisis and conflict ensued between the two countries leading to a political crisis. A controversial phone call held between Paetongtarn and Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen was leaked in June, leading to the withdrawal of Bhumjaithai from the coalition and her suspension as PM. The Constitutional Court removed her as prime minister on 29 August. Paetongtarn is the daughter of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra who returned to Thailand in 2023 after 15-years in exile on the same day Srettha became prime minister. Controversially, Thaksin did not spend a complete day in prison as he was transferred to the Police General Hospital; he was later released on parole on 13 January 2024. During both Srettha and Paetongtarn's premierships, Thaksin was routinely accused of being the 'power behind the throne'. On 9 September 2025, in the 14th floor case, Thaksin was sentenced to a year in prison by the Supreme Court. Following the removal of Paetongtarn, both Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai sought the support of the People's Party to back their candidates.
=== Medicine === Radioactive medical waste tends to contain beta particle and gamma ray emitters. It can be divided into two main classes. In diagnostic nuclear medicine a number of short-lived gamma emitters such as technetium-99m are used. Many of these can be disposed of by leaving it to decay for a short time before disposal as normal waste. Other isotopes used in medicine, with half-lives in parentheses, include:
Withdrawal can occur after stopping nearly every class of antidepressants including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). The risk is greater among those who have taken the medication for longer and when the medication in question has a short half-life. The diagnosis is based on the symptoms and timeline of drug cessation. Methods of prevention include gradually decreasing the dose among those who wish to stop, though it is possible for symptoms to occur with tapering. Treatment may include restarting the medication and slowly decreasing the dose. People may also be switched to the long-acting antidepressant fluoxetine which can then be gradually decreased. Approximately 15–50% of people who suddenly stop an antidepressant develop antidepressant discontinuation syndrome. About half of people with discontinuation symptoms describe them as severe, and the discontinuation period is associated with a 60% increase in suicide attempts compared to people who had previously used antidepressants but were outside the discontinuation period. Many restart antidepressants due to the severity of the symptoms. Antidepressant discontinuation syndrome is a relatively new phenomenon, being identified and described from 1950s onwards, in parallel with discovery and introduction of modern antidepressant medications, with the first MAOIs, and TCAs introduced from the 1950s onwards and the first SSRIs from the 1980s onward.
=== Reconstituted Fearsome Foursome and rejecting name === After missing the playoffs from 1970 to 1972, the Rams won seven straight division titles from 1973 to 1979, which was an NFL record until 2016 when broken by the New England Patriots. Those Rams teams were led in part by a reconstituted "new" Fearsome Foursome. This line consisted of ends Jack Youngblood and Fred Dryer, and tackles Olsen and Larry Brooks. Youngblood played for the Rams from 1971 to 1984, Brooks from 1972 to 1982, and Dryer from 1972 to 1981. Olsen, who played with his brother Phil Olsen for 4 seasons from 1971 to 1974, retired after a 15-year career at the end of the 1976 season. Olsen was replaced by Cody Jones in 1977-78. Jones suffered an Achilles tendon injury and missed the 1979 season, being replaced by Mike Fanning in 1979. Jones was the starter at right defensive tackle again in 1980. Brooks, Youngblood and Dryer, however, rejected the name Fearsome Foursome as applied to themselves, considering it unnecessary. Youngblood thought it amounted to gratuitous showmanship and the Rams' defensive players believed the team's play, not its name, was the only thing that had actual meaning. Thus, the defensively excellent 1978 team, which gave up the league’s fewest total yards and fewest passing yards, was not even considered to have a nickname, unlike the "Doomsday Defense" or "Steel Curtain". Youngblood, Dryer, Brooks and Fanning started in Super Bowl XIV following the 1979 season. Youngblood and Olsen are NFL Hall of Famers while Brooks made the Pro Bowl 5 times.

It is a synthetic peptide of 39 amino acids bearing a lipid side chain. Its size and architecture place it outside the small-molecule class, and laboratories generally handle it with the precautions used for biologic-like molecules.
The fatty diacid side chain promotes strong binding to serum albumin, which slows clearance and yields a half-life of roughly five days. That profile supports once-weekly administration in clinical use.
In vitro assays detect activity at both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, but the activity ratio depends on the assay system and the signalling pathway measured. The relative contribution of each receptor to clinical effects is still being characterised.
It activates both the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor and the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor. This dual activity separates it from agents that act on only one of the two receptors. The relative contribution of each receptor to clinical effects remains an open area of study.
