Lipidated analogues of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) have gained enormous attention as long-acting peptide therapeutics for type 2 diabetes and also antiobesity treatment. Commercially available therapeutic lipidated GLP-1 analogues, semaglutide and liraglutide, have the great advantage of prolonged half-lives of hours and days instead of minutes as is the case for native GLP-1. A crucial factor in the development of novel lipidated therapeutic peptides is their physical stability, which greatly influences manufacturing and drug product development.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) is known for its bioactivity and osteoconductivity when incorporated into biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA), whereas the weak interfacial bonding between MgO microspheres (mMPs) and PLA often leads to suboptimal composite properties with uncontrollable functionality. Conjugation of mMPs with PLA may offer a good way to enhance their compatibility. In this study, we systematically investigated two grafting techniques, solution grafting (Sol) and melt grafting (Mel), to decorate poly (D-lactic acid) (PDLA) on mMPs pre-treated by prioritized hydration to obtain Sol MPs and Mel MPs, in order to optimize the grafting efficiency and improve their controllability in the properties including the crystal structure and surface morphology.
