Exenatide must be administered serially by twice-daily subcutaneous (SC) injection due to its short half-life. The purpose of the present study is to develop an improved sustained-release exenatide formulation with a therapeutic efficacy comparable to serial, twice-daily injections of exenatide. A novel SR formulation of exenatide, DA-3091, was prepared by single-emulsion solvent evaporation using PLGA. It was administered by SC injection to ZDF rats in single exenatide doses of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1 or 2 mg/kg. On the 28th, 49th and 70th days, a 1 or 2 mg/kg dose of DA-3091 was further administered to rats in dose groups of 1 or 2 mg/kg. The efficacy of DA-3091 was then compared with that of serial, twice-daily SC injections of an exenatide solution for 13 weeks. NFBG and HbA1c concentrations were decreased both significantly and linearly as the exenatide dose in DA-3091 increased. In addition, food intake and body weight were suppressed both significantly and dose-dependently. In equivalent or half doses of exenatide, the efficacy of DA-3091 was comparable to that of twice-daily injections of exenatide solution for 13 weeks. In conclusion, DA-3091 has the potential to be clinically effective when administered every 3 weeks, or less frequently, which promises to significantly improve patient compliance.
