Description

Cagrilintide

Research-Grade Amylin Analogue
Tagline: Appetite & Weight Regulation Research


Product Description

Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analogue designed for once-weekly administration in research models. It mimics the effects of endogenous amylin, a hormone co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic β-cells, and plays a key role in satiety signaling, gastric emptying regulation, and weight management.

Researchers use cagrilintide to investigate appetite control, energy balance, obesity treatment strategies, and combination therapies with GLP-1 receptor agonists.

For Laboratory and Scientific Research Use Only. Not for Human Consumption.


Why Researchers Choose Cagrilintide
  • Long-Acting Amylin Analogue: Engineered with prolonged half-life for sustained activity.

  • Appetite Suppression Studies: Potently reduces food intake in preclinical models.

  • Weight Regulation Research: Promotes negative energy balance and body fat reduction.

  • Combination Therapy Applications: Studied alongside semaglutide for additive metabolic effects.

  • Batch Verified: ≥98% purity, HPLC-tested for reproducibility.


Research Data & Handling Tips
  • Reconstitution: Reconstitute with sterile water or PBS; swirl gently until dissolved.

  • Solubility: Fully soluble in water and compatible buffers.

  • Storage: Store lyophilized powder at -20 °C; after reconstitution, aliquot and freeze at -80 °C.

  • Stability: Stable for 24 months (lyophilized); use within 4–8 weeks after reconstitution.

Research

Research Applications

Appetite & Satiety Studies

Cagrilintide reduces food intake by activating amylin receptors in the area postrema and nucleus tractus solitarius [1].

Weight Management Research

Shown to induce dose-dependent weight loss and fat mass reduction in rodent and primate models [2].

Gastric Emptying Regulation

Delays gastric emptying, contributing to improved postprandial glucose control [3].

Combination Therapy with GLP-1 Analogues

Co-administered with semaglutide for additive effects on weight reduction and appetite suppression [4].

Mechanism of Action

Mechanism of Action (How Cagrilintide Works)
  • Amylin Receptor Agonism: Binds to calcitonin receptor/RAMP complexes in the brainstem, activating satiety signaling [Gabery 2020].

  • Food Intake Suppression: Reduces meal size and frequency via CNS-mediated anorectic pathways [Nauck 2021].

  • Delayed Gastric Emptying: Slows gastric motility, improving postprandial glucose handling [Hay 2015].

  • Weight Loss Promotion: Induces negative energy balance by lowering caloric intake and enhancing energy expenditure [Nauck 2021].

  • Additive with GLP-1 RAs: Complements GLP-1 receptor agonist effects, resulting in greater weight loss when combined [Friedrichsen 2021].
