Furthermore, MBX Biosciences is developing MBX 4291, a key candidate for obesity treatment. This highly potent and long-acting prodrug functions as a co-agonist for both GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. It is currently in investigational new drug (IND)-enabling studies, with the intention of treating obesity and its associated health issues.
