Unlocking targeted GPCR signalling in Precision Metabolic Therapeutics
By activating the β₂-adrenergic receptor through a unique signaling pathway, our technology overcomes receptor desensitization and side effects, unlocking the potential for chronic treatment of metabolic disease.
This activation induces:
- Altered signaling profile -> Leading to systemic effects
- Targeted and Precise -> Avoiding undesirable side-effects.

ATR-258´s effect is durable
ATR-258´s effect does not decrease with time and produces none of the side effects seen with conventional β-adrenergic agonist
- Selectively and precisely generates specific metabolic signals.
- Leading to glucose uptake into skeletal muscle, improving glycemic control.
- Binds to the β2-receptors found in skeletal muscle, initiating the translocation of GLUT4. This process facilitates the transportation of glucose into the muscle cells,
- Helps to lower blood glucose levels and provide energy to build muscle mass and strenght.
- Activates the receptor in a novel manner, causing selective modulation and an altered signaling profile.
We design and develop novel, patentable molecules that unlock the full therapeutic potential of β₂-adrenoceptor signaling. Our growing compound library enables precise targeting across metabolic disorders and beyond. Through innovative drug discovery, Atrogi holds a GPCR Discovery Platform with over 1,000 proprietary compounds and 40 granted patents.
Curiosity is what drives me. I’ve dedicated most of my career to identifying new treatments for metabolic diseases. We’ve never been closer to a solution that could revolutionize the treatment not only of diabetes, but obesity too.
