Abstract
The outstanding physiological functions of glucagon-like peptide-1 make it a promising drug candidate for blood glucose regulation in type 2 diabetes. However, the short half-life of GLP-1 limited its widely clinical utility due to the rapid degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and renal clearance. Therefore, stabilisation of glucagon-like peptide-1 is critical for the use of this peptide in drug development. Scientists in pharmaceutical companies have contributed in years to obtain long-acting or sustained GLP-1 derivatives which are reviewed in this report.

Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes and explores biological data. This field combines biology and information system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted great attention as it tries to replicate human intelligence. It has become common technology for analyzing and solving complex data and problems and encompasses sub-fields of machine ...read more
