The invention relates to design, preparation and application of a double-target compound which has activity on both a human glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and a KCNH6 potassium channel. The compound plays a dual role of a GLP-1 receptor agonist and an endogenous GLP-1 secretagogue by activating GLP-1R and blocking KCNH6, and can be used for treating obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and related complications thereof.

Amino acid formulations useful for treating diarrhea in a subject in need thereof are described herein. Such amino acid formulations and methods comprising administering same to a subject are useful for treating diarrhea, particularly diarrhea caused by or associated with bacterial infections wherein secretagogue-stimulated anion secretion from the intestinal crypt contributes to at least one symptom of diarrhea in the subject. Use of these amino acid formulations for the treatment of diarrhea in general or diarrhea associated with secretagogue-stimulated anion secretion from the intestinal crypt are encompassed herein, as are their use in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of diarrhea in general or diarrhea associated with secretagogue-stimulated anion secretion from the intestinal crypt.

A method of slowing the weight regain after cessation of an anorectic drug (GLP-1 analog) where a coion targeted gut hormone secretagogue is administered.

This invention relates to the application of secretin in the preparation of drugs for treating steatohepatitis associated with metabolic dysfunction, belonging to the field of biomedical technology. This invention provides the application of secretin in the preparation of drugs for treating steatohepatitis associated with metabolic dysfunction. Cell model, gene knockout, in vivo complementation, and exogenous protein intervention experiments were conducted, revealing that secretin has significant in vitro and in vivo protective effects against steatohepatitis associated with metabolic dysfunction. In vitro, secretin can significantly improve oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, inhibit abnormal accumulation of lipid droplets in hepatocytes, reduce the expression of inflammatory factors in hepatocytes, alleviate hepatocyte inflammatory damage caused by lipotoxicity, and enter hepatocytes through endocytosis. It can alleviate high-fat diet-induced hepatic steatosis and inflammatory infiltration in MASH mice, and reduce the degree of liver fibrosis.
