Abstract: Much interest has focused on the newer incretin-based therapeutic modalities for diabetes, especially GLP-1 analogues. While the comparatively older GLP-1 analogs, exenatide and liraglutide, have been discussed extensively in literature, much less is known about the newer GLP-1 analogues in the pipeline. This review focuses on the newer molecules being studied, the newer routes of administration being tried, some recent patents and potential uses for these multifaceted compounds.
