According to GlobalData’s company profile on Hanmi Science, Hormone-based therapies for metabolic disorders was a key innovation area identified from patents. Hanmi Science's grant share as of June 2024 was 42%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.

The granted patent US12018060B2 outlines a novel peptide characterized by the amino acid sequence identified as SEQ ID NO: 14. This peptide is notable for its ability to activate both the GLP-1 receptor and the glucagon receptor, which are critical in metabolic regulation. Additionally, the peptide demonstrates an anti-obesity effect, making it a potential therapeutic agent for weight management. The claims further specify that the peptide may contain structural features, such as at least one amino acid pair forming a ring at designated positions, which could enhance its biological activity.

The patent also encompasses a pharmaceutical composition that includes the peptide as an active ingredient, potentially combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. This composition can be administered alone or in conjunction with other obesity-treating pharmaceutical formulations, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, leptin receptor agonists, and various receptor antagonists and agonists that target metabolic pathways. The claims detail methods for treating obesity by administering either the peptide or the pharmaceutical composition to individuals in need, highlighting its therapeutic applications in obesity management.
