Natural molecule could provide Ozempic, Wegovy alternative
Stanford Medicine researchers used an AI tool called Peptide Predictor to identify BRP, a natural 12-amino-acid molecule that targets the brain's hypothalamus—the primary hunger-regulating center—to suppress appetite. Unlike GLP-1 mimic drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, which often cause side effects like nausea by acting on the hindbrain, BRP showed promise in animal trials by promoting fat loss without muscle loss, and a co-founded company plans to launch human clinical trials in the near future.
