SingleMetabolic & Weight

VK2735 10mg

Investigational dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist studied for significant dose-dependent weight loss and metabolic regulation.

Mechanism

Simultaneously engages GLP-1 and GIP incretin receptors to slow gastric emptying, suppress central appetite signals via AgRP neuron inhibition, and modulate glucose homeostasis.

Dosing

Research protocols document an initial weekly subcutaneous administration of 2.5 mg.

Reconstitution

Add 2.0 mL of bacteriostatic water to achieve a final working concentration of 5 mg/mL (5,000 mcg/mL).

Storage

Store lyophilized powder protected from light at 2–8°C or frozen, and maintain reconstituted solutions at 2–8°C for up to 28 days.

Reconstitution Steps

  1. 1

    Sanitize the stoppers of both the lyophilized peptide vial and the bacteriostatic water vial using sterile alcohol prep pads.

  2. 2

    Draw precisely 2.0 mL of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.

  3. 3

    Direct the needle tip toward the inner glass wall of the peptide vial, allowing the diluent to trickle slowly over the powder.

  4. 4

    Swirl the container in a gentle circular motion until completely transparent without shaking vigorously.

  5. 5

    Date the vial and immediately place into refrigerated storage at 2–8°C.

Overview

VK2735 is an investigational synthetic peptide engineered as a dual agonist targeting both the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. Developed primarily to evaluate potent interventions in metabolic disorders and adiposity, the compound utilizes a dual-incretin pathway mirroring the physiological mechanism seen in modern multi-target metabolic therapies. By engaging both hormonal cascades simultaneously, it coordinates glycemic control and central satiety responses. In preclinical models and clinical dose-ranging trials such as the phase 2 VENTURE study, the peptide has been evaluated across once-weekly subcutaneous regimens. Investigators focus on its capacity to drive substantial, progressive weight reduction and metabolic improvements while monitoring the typical gastrointestinal adaptation profile associated with incretin-mimetic therapies. As an unapproved investigational agent, handling requires strict laboratory containment and precision measurement.
