Cagrilintide is a long-acting synthetic analogue of amylin (human islet amyloid polypeptide, IAPP) — a pancreatic peptide hormone with a distinct satiety mechanism from GLP-1. While less well known than GLP-1 receptor agonists, the amylin system represents a pharmacologically important and mechanistically distinct approach to appetite regulation. Understanding cagrilintide requires first understanding the native hormone…

Cagrilintide is a long-acting synthetic analogue of amylin (also known as islet amyloid polypeptide, or IAPP), a 37-amino acid peptide hormone co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic beta cells. Amylin plays a complementary role to insulin in regulating postprandial blood glucose, primarily through effects on gastric emptying, glucagon suppression, and central satiety signalling. Cagrilintide was developed…
