Semaglutide and liraglutide are structurally similar molecules with high selectivity for the GLP-1 receptor, though there are some pharmacologic differences between the two notably, liraglutide has a higher steady state concentration and greater receptor binding affinity than semaglutide, while semaglutide has an increased affinity for serum albumin (thereby improving resistance to degradation) and a longer half-life than liraglutide [38, 61, 62]
