Cagrilintide – Long-Acting Amylin Receptor Agonist (Colombia)
Cagrilintide is a next-generation, long-acting amylin analogue designed to activate both amylin and calcitonin-family receptors. It belongs to the DACRA class (dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists), a category of advanced metabolic peptides under active investigation for body-weight and energy-balance research :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}. Poly Biotech supplies Cagrilintide as a high-purity lyophilized peptide with controlled manufacturing and local availability for research programs in Colombia.
Product Overview
Cagrilintide is a 37–amino acid synthetic analogue of human amylin with strategic amino acid substitutions and N-terminal lipidation to enhance stability, receptor affinity, and half-life :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}. By acting as a dual agonist at amylin receptors (AMY1/2/3) and calcitonin receptors (CTR), it enables multiplexed modulation of satiety and gastric motility pathways in experimental models :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}. Poly Biotech maintains Cagrilintide in local Medellín inventory to support Colombian labs and clinics working with advanced metabolic peptides.

Mechanistic Background
Cagrilintide engages amylin receptors (AMY1R, AMY2R, AMY3R) formed by calcitonin receptor (CTR) and receptor-activity–modifying proteins (RAMPs), as well as CTR itself, to deliver dual agonism at calcitonin-family receptors :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}. Structural and pharmacological studies show that this dual activation leads to robust modulation of appetite-regulating and gastric-emptying pathways in preclinical and clinical research settings :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
Reconstitution
Cagrilintide can be reconstituted using bacteriostatic water or another suitable sterile laboratory diluent, according to the laboratory’s internal SOPs. Final concentrations, dilution schemes, and handling steps should be defined by the responsible research team to align with their specific study design.
Applications in Research
- Advanced metabolic and body-weight regulation models
- Amylin and calcitonin receptor signalling studies
- Combination-therapy research alongside GLP-1 receptor agonists :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
- Mechanistic work on gastric emptying, satiety signalling, and energy balance :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
