Amycretin 5mg
Dual GLP-1 and amylin receptor agonist investigated for potent satiety induction and body weight regulation.
Mechanism
Amycretin functions as a unimolecular co-agonist of both the GLP-1 and amylin receptor complexes, activating neuroendocrine satiety pathways to suppress appetite, delay gastric emptying, and improve glucose homeostasis.
Dosing
Standard laboratory titration protocols initiate weekly subcutaneous administration at 0.5 mg before escalating based on study requirements.
Reconstitution
Reconstituting a 5 mg vial with 2.0 mL of bacteriostatic water yields a final peptide concentration of 2.5 mg/mL.
Storage
Store the lyophilized peptide refrigerated or frozen protected from light, and keep the reconstituted solution at 2–8°C for experimental use within 28 days.

|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 0.5 mg (1× weekly) | 20 units (0.20 mL) |
| Weeks 3–4 | 1.0 mg (1× weekly) | 40 units (0.40 mL) |

Reconstitution Steps
- 1
Swab the rubber stoppers of both the Amycretin vial and the bacteriostatic water vial using sterile alcohol pads and allow to air dry.
- 2
Draw 2.0 mL of bacteriostatic water using an appropriate sterile syringe.
- 3
Insert the needle into the Amycretin vial at an angle, directing the fluid slowly down the glass wall rather than forcefully onto the lyophilized cake.
- 4
Gently swirl the vial in circular motions until the lyophilized powder is completely dissolved; avoid shaking vigorously.
- 5
Date the vial and store the reconstituted solution in a laboratory refrigerator at 2–8°C.

Overview
Amycretin is an investigational unimolecular peptide engineered to concurrently co-activate the GLP-1 and amylin (CTR-RAMP) receptor pathways. Originally designed to address metabolic dysregulation and obesity, this dual-mechanism molecule integrates peripheral and central satiety cascades to enhance appetite control beyond single-target incretin analogs. Early clinical and preclinical investigations highlight its capacity to substantially suppress caloric intake, slow gastric transit, and promote significant reductions in adiposity. Additionally, the co-activation of these complementary signaling axes supports enhanced glycemic control and reductions in HbA1c in models of metabolic dysfunction. Because of its potent pharmacological activity, experimental protocols employ gradual dose escalation to mitigate gastrointestinal side effects. The compound remains strictly a research agent intended for in vitro and in vivo laboratory investigations and is not cleared for therapeutic or clinical application.
