Research Library
The Biovanta Research library organises everything we publish about the compounds in our catalogue into structured research hubs. Each hub covers one compound: what the molecule is, which receptors it engages, what the published study programme has reported, how the peptide behaves as laboratory material, and how it compares with related peptides.
Pages are deliberately narrow and cross-linked, so each answers one research question and points to the neighbouring pages rather than repeating them. Every page cites the published literature it draws on.
Start with these research hubs
Metabolic Research
This grouping covers peptides studied for incretin and metabolic receptor signalling: GLP-1, GIP, glucagon and amylin receptor systems, glucose handling in laboratory models, and the pharmacokinetics of long-acting analogues.
Each compound engages a different combination of those receptors, so the hubs are deliberately separate rather than interchangeable. Reading them side by side shows how single, dual and triple receptor designs are characterised differently in the literature.
Retatrutide Research
Triple GIP / GLP-1 / glucagon receptor agonist
Research into triple receptor activity across the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon pathways, and how tri-agonism is characterised in the published literature.
Research topics
- What is Retatrutide?
- Retatrutide mechanism of action
- Retatrutide molecular structure
- What Does Retatrutide Do?
- How Does Retatrutide Work?

Tirzepatide Research
Dual GIP / GLP-1 receptor agonist
Research into dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonism, including receptor selectivity, signalling bias and the study programme behind it.

2 published research guides
Semaglutide Research
Long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist
Research into selective GLP-1 receptor agonism, long-acting acylated peptide design and the large published GLP-1 evidence base.

1 published research guide
Cagrilintide Research
Long-acting amylin analogue
Amylin analogue research: amylin and calcitonin receptor complexes, and why cagrilintide is studied alongside incretin peptides.
Research topics
1 published research guide
Mazdutide Research
GLP-1 / glucagon dual agonist
Research into dual GLP-1 and glucagon receptor activity, and how glucagon-receptor engagement distinguishes it from GIP-based peptides.

1 published research guide
Other Research
This grouping covers compounds outside the incretin field, where the receptor systems, assays and published evidence base are unrelated to metabolic signalling.
Keeping them in their own grouping avoids implying shared pharmacology, and keeps each hub focused on the receptor family actually under study.
Melanotan II Research
Cyclic melanocortin receptor agonist
Melanocortin receptor research: cyclic analogue structure, MC1R–MC5R activity and the selectivity questions raised in the literature.

Compare compound research
Comparison resources examine where two compounds actually differ: which receptors each one engages, how potency and signalling are reported, and what the published research programmes have and have not established. They are the controlled bridges between otherwise separate compound hubs.
Research use only. Everything on this page describes published laboratory and preclinical research into a compound supplied strictly for in-vitro research by qualified persons. It is not medical advice, it does not describe human or veterinary use, and no dosing guidance is given.
