What is Cagrilintide?

Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analogue: a 37-amino-acid acylated peptide that acts as an agonist at amylin (AMY) and calcitonin (CTR) receptors. It is built on a pramlintide-like amylin backbone with sequence substitutions and N-terminal acylation by a C20 eicosanedioic fatty di-acid attached through a γGlu linker, plus an intramolecular disulfide bridge. The acylation drives albumin binding and confers a long elimination half-life.

As a chemical substance, cagrilintide (CAS 1415456-99-3, molecular formula C194H312N54O59S2, ~4409 g/mol) is typically handled as a lyophilised powder. It is being studied for obesity and weight management, including as part of a fixed combination with a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Cagrilintide is investigational: it is in clinical development and has not been approved by the FDA, EMA or other major regulators.

How Cagrilintide Is Produced & Characterised

Cagrilintide is a synthetically demanding acylated peptide: the 37-mer length, the disulfide bridge requiring controlled oxidative folding, and the lipid side-chain conjugation all create opportunities for deletion sequences, diastereomers, mis-folded variants and incomplete acylation. For this peptide class, production is generally based on Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) with controlled disulfide formation and side-chain conjugation, followed by purification on preparative dynamic axial compression (DAC) HPLC columns that isolates the target sequence from closely related impurities, and lyophilisation to a stable powder.

Quality control for acylated amylin analogues of this type typically combines UPLC/HPLC for purity, LC-MS for confirmation of sequence and disulfide connectivity, and characterisation of water content, counter-ion (acetate) content and residual solvents. These analytical approaches reflect general industry practice for complex peptides.

Regulatory & Development Context

Cagrilintide is an investigational molecule: it is in clinical development for obesity and weight management and has not been approved by the FDA, EMA or other major regulators. It has been studied both as a standalone amylin analogue and in fixed combination with a GLP-1 receptor agonist.

For investigational peptides such as cagrilintide, chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) information is generally organised under CTD Module 3 to support IND/CTA submissions, with analytical methods validated to ICH Q2(R1) and stability assessed to ICH Q1A(R2). This section summarises the general regulatory framework that applies to molecules of this type and reflects cagrilintide's current investigational status.

Research guides

Articles in the Peptide Research Library that cover Cagrilintide.

  • Cagrilintide: research overviewCagrilintide is an investigational long-acting analogue of the pancreatic hormone amylin. It is a 37-amino-acid peptide with a Cys2–Cys7 disulfide bridge, three substitutions versus pramlintide and a C20 fatty di-acid on its N-terminus, and it activates both amylin and calcitonin receptors. Its half-life is 159–195 hours.
  • Amycretin: what it is, how it works and what studies have foundAmycretin, now named zenagamtide, is a 68-amino-acid single peptide that activates GLP-1 receptors and amylin and calcitonin receptors. It has been tested as a weekly subcutaneous and a daily oral form in phase 1 and phase 2 trials, and entered phase 3 (AMAZE and AMBITION) in 2026. It is not approved anywhere.
  • Amylin analogues explained: amylin receptors and the peptides that target themAmylin analogues are engineered versions of amylin, a 37-amino-acid hormone co-secreted with insulin. They act on amylin receptors (AMY1, AMY2, AMY3), each a calcitonin receptor paired with a RAMP protein. Pramlintide is the only approved one; long-acting analogues such as cagrilintide, petrelintide, eloralintide and amycretin are in clinical trials.
  • Eloralintide: what it is, how it works and what studies have foundEloralintide (LY3841136) is an investigational 37-amino-acid acylated amylin analogue that preferentially activates the amylin-1 receptor (AMY1R) over the calcitonin receptor. Peer-reviewed phase 1 and 48-week phase 2 data have been published, and the ENLIGHTEN phase 3 programme began in late 2025. It is not approved anywhere.
  • GLP-1 receptor agonists explained: how they work, the full list, and where research is headingGLP-1 receptor agonists are peptides, and now one small molecule, that activate the receptor for the gut hormone glucagon-like peptide-1. The receptor raises cAMP in beta cells, increasing insulin secretion only when glucose is high, while also suppressing glucagon, slowing gastric emptying and reducing food intake. Dual and triple agonists add GIP or glucagon receptor activity.
  • Semaglutide: what it is, how it works and what studies have foundSemaglutide is a 31-amino-acid analogue of human GLP-1(7–37) that activates the GLP-1 receptor. An Aib substitution at position 8 blocks DPP-4 cleavage, and a C18 fatty di-acid on lysine 26 binds albumin, giving an elimination half-life of about one week. Phase 3 programmes (SUSTAIN, PIONEER, STEP, SELECT) underpin its approvals.
