About This Compound

Product Overview

Cagrilinitide is a long-acting amylin receptor agonist. Amylin is a peptide hormone co-secreted with insulin from pancreatic beta cells after meals, and it plays a role in appetite regulation, gastric emptying, and postprandial glucose control. Cagrilinitide was developed as a modified analog of amylin with improved pharmacokinetic properties for research applications.

The compound represents a different pharmacological approach to metabolic research compared to the GLP-1 agonists in the OSYRIS catalog. While GLP-1 agonists work through incretin receptor signaling, cagrilinitide works through the amylin receptor system — a distinct but complementary pathway in metabolic regulation. Research has investigated cagrilinitide both as a standalone compound and in combination with GLP-1 agonists to study whether dual-pathway targeting produces enhanced metabolic effects.

Research Applications

Mechanism and Experimental Context

Cagrilinitide acts on amylin receptors (AMY1, AMY2, AMY3) — receptor complexes formed by the calcitonin receptor combined with receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs). Amylin receptor activation in the brain's area postrema and nucleus of the solitary tract is associated with reduced food intake and delayed gastric emptying in animal models.1

Research interest in amylin agonists was originally driven by the success of pramlintide (Symlin), an FDA-approved amylin analog for use in diabetes management. Cagrilinitide represents the next generation of amylin analogs with modifications designed to extend duration of action for research purposes.

In preclinical models, cagrilinitide treatment reduced food intake and body weight through central appetite suppression pathways that are distinct from GLP-1 receptor-mediated satiety. The amylin system appears to modulate meal size and meal frequency through brainstem circuits rather than the hypothalamic circuits primarily targeted by leptin signaling.2

A significant area of cagrilinitide research involves its combination with GLP-1 agonists. The CagriSema program studied the combination of cagrilinitide and semaglutide, investigating whether amylin + GLP-1 dual agonism produces effects beyond either pathway alone. Preclinical and clinical data have shown that the combination produced greater metabolic effects than either compound individually.3

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Cagrilinitide

Cagrilinitide is a long-acting amylin receptor agonist studied in appetite regulation and metabolic research. It works through the amylin system — a distinct pathway from the GLP-1 agonists.

Amylin is a peptide hormone released from pancreatic beta cells alongside insulin after meals. It plays a role in appetite regulation, gastric emptying, and blood sugar control.

They target different receptor systems. GLP-1 agonists work through incretin receptors. Cagrilinitide works through amylin receptors. These pathways regulate appetite through different brain circuits. Researchers study them both individually and in combination.

CagriSema is the research program name for the combination of cagrilinitide + semaglutide (a GLP-1 agonist). Studies investigated whether targeting both amylin and GLP-1 pathways simultaneously produces enhanced metabolic effects.

No. Cagrilinitide is a research compound. The CagriSema combination has been in clinical development by Novo Nordisk, but OSYRIS Cagrilinitide is sold exclusively for laboratory research.

Store lyophilized at -20°C for long-term or 2-8°C for short-term. Protect from light.

Independently tested via HPLC and LC-MS. COA downloadable on this page.

They regulate appetite through different brain circuits. Amylin acts primarily through the brainstem (area postrema). GLP-1 acts through both brainstem and hypothalamic circuits. Combination research investigates whether targeting both produces effects beyond either alone.
