Description
Cagrilintide is a long-acting synthetic amylin analog developed as a non-selective agonist at the amylin and calcitonin receptor family. The peptide is structurally derived from native human amylin with multiple amino acid substitutions to enhance stability and reduce aggregation, and a C20 fatty diacid moiety conjugated via a γGlu-(AEEA)₂ linker enabling reversible albumin binding and an extended pharmacokinetic profile compatible with once-weekly subcutaneous dosing. In published preclinical and clinical research, cagrilintide is investigated as a satiety-pathway compound that complements GLP-1 receptor activation, with research interest in food intake regulation, body composition, gastric emptying, and metabolic endpoints. It is studied both as a single-agent compound and as a fixed-ratio combination partner with semaglutide (CagriSema) in the broader incretin / amylin research category.
Benefits (Research Focus)
• Amylin receptor agonism — studied for activation of the amylin and calcitonin receptor family
• Satiety pathway research — investigated for food intake reduction and appetite regulation endpoints
• Body composition — examined for fat-mass and lean-mass partitioning in DIO and obesity models
• Gastric emptying — explored for delayed gastric transit and downstream satiety effects
• Long-acting profile — C20 fatty diacid albumin-binding chemistry for extended half-life consistent with once-weekly research dosing
What Researchers Look At
• Amylin receptor (AMY1R / AMY3R) and calcitonin receptor (CTR) binding affinity
• cAMP activation curves in cell lines expressing amylin receptor subtypes
• Food intake, body weight, and adipose-tissue change in DIO rodent models
• Combination pharmacology with GLP-1 agonists (e.g., CagriSema research)
• Comparative endpoints versus eloralintide, pramlintide, and other amylin analogs
