Does receptor balance matter? – Comparing the efficacies of the dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists cagrilintide and KBP-336 on metabolic parameters in preclinical models
Cagrilintide is a novel long-acting amylin receptor agonist, which has shown a potent induction of weight loss. Interestingly, cagrilintide is a Dual Amylin and Calcitonin Receptor Agonist (DACRA) derived from an amylin backbone. Another class of long-acting DACRAs exists, namely the KBPs. These are...
