Cagril (10mg)
Cagril – 2 mg | For Research Use Only – Not for Human Consumption
Cagril is a long-acting, synthetic amylin analog designed to mimic the physiological actions of endogenous amylin, a peptide hormone co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic β-cells. Engineered with enhanced stability and an extended half-life, Cagril binds to the amylin receptor complex (calcitonin receptor + RAMPs), modulating central and peripheral pathways involved in satiety, glycemic control, and energy balance.
Mechanistic Overview
Cagril exerts its effects by replicating amylin’s regulatory functions, including:
-
Delaying gastric emptying, reducing the rate of glucose absorption
-
Enhancing satiety signaling via central appetite-regulating centers (e.g., area postrema and hypothalamus)
-
Suppressing postprandial glucagon secretion to stabilize glycemic response
-
Improving insulin sensitivity in adipose and hepatic tissues
In preclinical models, these actions contribute to:
-
Reduced caloric intake and body weight
-
Improved glucose homeostasis and insulin dynamics
-
Preservation of pancreatic β-cell integrity under metabolic stress
-
Potential cardiovascular modulation, including blood pressure and lipid profile improvements
Research Applications
Cagril is under investigation in in vivo and in vitro research models for its potential roles in:
-
Obesity and weight management studies
-
Appetite regulation and central metabolic signaling
-
Postprandial glycemic control in type 2 diabetes models
-
Adjunctive therapy with GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., Semaglutide)
-
β-cell preservation and metabolic syndrome research
Its complementary action to incretin-based therapies makes it a valuable investigational agent in the development of multi-hormonal metabolic interventions.
