That's a lot of work do it the official way. The recipe is on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retatrutide#Chemistry), and I guarantee there's plenty of companies wiling to synthesize it, without first securing patent rights.

> A senior clinician at the National Institutes of Health, Ranganath Muniyappa, requested access to the drug for the unnamed patient in April. Muniyappa cited a diagnosis of refractory obesity with obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension, a potentially life-threatening disease characterized by high blood pressure in the lungs.* The request reportedly drew the attention of top health officials, which STAT noted was indicative of the patient’s influence.
