Commonly used activators include HOBt (1-hydroxybenzotriazole), HBTU (2- (4-hydroxyphenyl) -4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-6-nitroimidazolo [1,2-a] pyridine-3-one), TBTU (2- (2-pyridyldithio) benzotriazole sodium salt), etc

Safety signals identified through extended follow-up include: Gastrointestinal effects : Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea remain the most common adverse events, typically diminishing over time but causing discontinuation in approximately 57% of patients Gallbladder disease : Increased incidence of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis, possibly associated with weight loss, though the exact mechanism remains under investigation Diabetic retinopathy : Risk of complications, particularly with rapid glycemic improvement in patients with pre-existing retinopathy Acute kidney injury : Risk associated with severe gastrointestinal adverse events leading to dehydration Pancreatitis : Rare cases reported, though causality remains uncertain
