近日，银诺医药在港股上市首日暴涨超200%的亮眼表现引起市场热议。笔者认为，这背后的一大关键原因在于市场对 其首款国产人源长效GLP-1受体激动剂的高度认可，以及对该类药物所瞄准的减肥药市场广阔前景的强烈信心。 作为一周注射一次的长效GLP-1受体激动剂(GLP-1RA)，其能通过激活GLP-1受体，以葡萄糖浓度依赖的方式增强胰岛 素分泌、抑制胰高血糖素分泌，同时延缓胃排空，从而精准实现血糖调控。 这一作用路径早已得到全球权威机构的认可。美国糖尿病协会(ADA)、欧洲糖尿病研究协会(EASD)均在指南中推荐将 GLP-1疗法作为2型糖尿病并发症的首选方案，中华医学会糖尿病学分会(CDS)也针对特定类型2型糖尿病发布了相关治 疗指南，进一步印证该疗法的临床地位。 值得注意的是，司美格鲁肽的治疗潜力并不局限于降糖领域。其还可以降低食欲、减少食物摄入量，帮助患者控制热 量摄入，进而实现体重管理，这使其在代谢性疾病治疗中具备更广泛的应用前景。 这种"一药多能"的特性，恰好契合当前全球代谢性疾病领域的严峻现状。 从投资逻辑延伸来看，这类依托创新药赛道崛起的潜在机遇并非个例。 以港股市场中的医药股代表公司四环医药(004 ...
