    Journal:  Development of Zalfermin, a Long-Acting Proteolytically Stabilized FGF21 Analog. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 26, 2024   
    Here, we describe the development of the FGF21 analog zalfermin (NNC0194-0499, 15), intended for once-weekly sc dosing...The fatty diacid binds albumin in a reversible manner, such that the free fraction of zalfermin potently activates the FGF-receptor complex and retains receptor selectivity compared with FGF21, providing strong efficacy on body weight loss in diet-induced obese mice. Zalfermin is currently being clinically evaluated for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
