IGC Pharma (NYSE American: IGC), an AI-powered, clinical stage biotechnology company, today announced the discovery of its proprietary molecule, IGC-1A, as a potential GLP-1 agonist. This revelation resulted from the company’s state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) modeling. According to the announcement, the discovery highlights the versatility of IGC Pharma’s drug platforms. It also presents a significant market opportunity and marks the company’s potential for strategic expansion to metabolic disorders and weight loss.
“Our AI-driven approach has revealed a promising opportunity for IGC-1A and IGC-1C to be potential GLP-1 agonists. This discovery strengthens our Alzheimer’s treatment portfolio and also positions us to potentially enter the rapidly growing weight loss market,” said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma. “By comparing IGC-1A and IGC-1C with established drugs such as Ozempic, Tirzepatide, Retatrutide, and Metformin, among others, our AI model indicates that they could become an effective option for metabolic disorders. While we are in the early stages, our molecules allow us to potentially build a portfolio that also focuses on metabolic disorders and obesity with improved tolerability and efficacy compared to current options.”
