Amycretin

Subcutaneous injection

Overview

Amycretin is a dual agonist targeting both the amylin and calcitonin receptors, designed as a peptide therapeutic for obesity. Amylin receptor activation reduces food intake and delays gastric emptying, while calcitonin receptor engagement may further contribute to appetite suppression and weight loss.

Mechanism of Action

The compound represents a novel approach distinct from GLP-1-based therapies..

Research Summary & Key Findings

Early-phase clinical data released in 2023 indicated dose-dependent weight loss in individuals with obesity. The safety profile was acceptable, with nausea being the most frequently reported adverse event. Further trials are needed to determine long-term efficacy and optimal dosing.

Clinical Status

In Clinical Trials

Amycretin is currently undergoing clinical trials. It is not yet FDA-approved and is available only through clinical research settings or investigational protocols.
