(D-Ala2)-GIP (human) is an analog of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide that activates the GIP receptor (EC50=630pM) and is commonly used in research on type 2 diabetes treatment[1]. (D-Ala2)-GIP is resistant to degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase-4, thereby prolonging (D-Ala2)-GIP in vivo half-life and enhancing its insulin-secreting activity[2]. (D-Ala2)-GIP can modulate cellular energy metabolism, fat storage, and β-cell function[3]. (D-Ala2)-GIP also has the potential to ameliorate obesity-related insulin resistance and protect β-cells[4].
In vitro, pretreatment of mouse primary cardiomyocytes with (D-Ala2)-GIP (300nM) for 1 hour, followed by stimulation with 30mM high glucose for 24 hours, significantly suppressed NADPH oxidase-driven superoxide generation and reduced mRNA expression levels of the cardiac hypertrophy marker β-Mhc and the key fibrotic factor Tgf-β2[5]. Pretreatment of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes with (D-Ala2)-GIP (1μM) for 96 hours significantly promoted adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation, while upregulating gene expression of lipoprotein lipase (Lpl) and fatty acid synthase (Fasn)[6].
In vivo, daily intraperitoneal injection of (D-Ala2)-GIP (25nmol/kg) for 42 days in high-fat diet-induced obese, prediabetic Swiss NIH mice significantly reduced non-fasting blood glucose levels and improved glucose tolerance[7]. Daily intraperitoneal injection of (D-Ala2)-GIP (25nmol/kg) for 8 weeks in APPswe/PS1 Alzheimer's disease model mice significantly improved spatial memory and synaptic plasticity, increased synaptic density in the hippocampus, reduced amyloid plaque load and neuroinflammation, and enhanced neural progenitor cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes (mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line) |
Preparation Method | 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were maintained in Dulbecco's minimal essential medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics (100U/mL penicillin and 100μg/mL streptomycin) at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Differentiation was induced post-confluence using a cocktail (1μg/mL insulin, 1μM dexamethasone, 0.5mM isobutyl-1-methylxanthine) with or without 1μM (D-Ala2)-GIP. The differentiation medium was replenished every two days. |
Reaction Conditions | 1μM; 12-day differentiation period |
Applications | (D-Ala2)-GIP significantly enhanced adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation, as evidenced by increased Oil-red O staining. (D-Ala2)-GIP upregulated key adipogenic genes (Lpl, Fasn, Atgl) and lipolytic genes (Hsl), and stimulated glycerol release in mature adipocytes. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | High-fat-fed (HFF) Swiss NIH mice (diet-induced obesity model) |
Preparation Method | Obese-prediabetic mice received daily intraperitoneal injections of (D-Ala2)-GIP (25nmol/kg) for 42 consecutive days. Body weight and non-fasting blood glucose were monitored regularly. An intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (18mmol/kg) was performed on day 43 after an 18-hour fast. |
Dosage form | 25nmol/kg; i.p. |
Applications | (D-Ala2)-GIP significantly reduced non-fasting blood glucose levels and improved glucose tolerance during the glucose challenge. (D-Ala2)-GIP enhanced bone strength by increasing ultimate load and work-to-fracture without altering trabecular or cortical bone microarchitecture. (D-Ala2)-GIP improved bone composition by increasing collagen maturity (enzymatic cross-linking) and mineral-to-matrix ratio while reducing heterogeneity in mineral crystallite size. |
