To develop an improved sustained-release (SR) formulation of exenatide (a therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus) in a biweekly dosage form with therapeutic efficacy comparable to that achieved with twice-daily injections of the drug. A SR formulation of exenatide, DA-3091, was prepared by single-emulsion solvent evaporation using poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide). Plasma exenatide, as well as plasma insulin, non-fasting blood glucose and HbA1c concentrations, and changes in food intake and body weight were evaluated in both Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) and ZDF lean control rats. After a single SC administration of DA-3091 (i.e., 2 mg/kg of exenatide), the plasma exenatide concentration increased and remained elevated in both groups. The concentrations of non-fasting blood glucose and HbA1c decreased significantly following a single SC injection of DA-3091 only in ZDF rats, indicating that the effects of exenatide are dependent on blood glucose concentration. On the other hand, both food intake and body weight gain were reduced in ZDF and ZDF lean control rats. A single injection of DA-3091 (i.e., 2 mg/kg of exenatide) lowered non-fasting blood glucose and HbA1c concentrations more effectively than 14 days of twice-daily administration of exenatide (i.e., 1.96 mg/kg of exenatide). DA-3091 has the potential to be used safely and efficaciously in a biweekly dosing regimen.
