Cagrilintide
Long-acting synthetic amylin analogue for obesity and metabolic research.
Description
Long-acting synthetic amylin analogue for obesity and metabolic research.
Cagrilintide is a long-acting acylated amylin analogue engineered for extended receptor engagement at the amylin receptor complex (AMY1 and AMY3). Its mechanism involves activating calcitonin and amylin receptors in the area postrema and hypothalamus, modulating satiety signaling and gastric emptying. In the REDEFINE 1 phase 3 trial (Lau et al., published 2023), cagrilintide 2.4 mg administered weekly demonstrated statistically significant weight reduction compared to placebo over 68 weeks. Notably, Novo Nordisk's CagriSema program combines cagrilintide with semaglutide, and phase 2 data (REDEFINE 2) showed the combination achieved greater weight reduction than either agent alone, suggesting synergistic effects between amylin and GLP-1 receptor pathways. Compared to pramlintide, the only previously available amylin analogue, cagrilintide offers a substantially longer half-life (approximately 7 days vs. hours), enabling once-weekly dosing in research protocols. Research also indicates potential benefits in alcohol-related liver disease models, where amylin signaling may reduce hepatic lipid accumulation. The lyophilized powder should be stored at -20C prior to reconstitution with sterile water or bacteriostatic water; reconstituted solutions should be refrigerated at 2-8C. This compound is primarily studied by obesity research institutes, pharmaceutical laboratories investigating incretin-amylin synergy, and academic centers focused on appetite neurobiology and hepatic metabolism.
