The two plants have been found to potentially produce a molecule that helps to curb feelings of hunger.

Artificial intelligence has discovered two plant extracts that could potentially act like diet pills, with Spanish scientists believing these compounds could be alternatives for weight loss.

The two plants could potentially produce a molecule called glucagon-like peptide-1 which is split to create hormones such as semaglutide and tirzepatide. These are very effective ways to lose weight, and it's thought that the plants could have this potential power. "Recent data has also confirmed that when patients stop treatment they regain lost weight. In addition, most GLP-1 agonists are peptides - short chains of amino acids that can be degraded by stomach enzymes - and so they are currently more likely to be injected rather than taken orally."

Of these, "Compound A" and "Compound B", bound strongly to the key residues in a similar way to TTOAD2 and orforglipron - which are often found in diet pills.
