Compound Profiles

Cagrilintide

Long-Acting Amylin Receptor Agonist | Weight Loss & Diabetes

Subcutaneous injection enables optimal bioavailability, targeting dual amylin and calcitonin receptors for satiety and metabolic regulation. Enhances insulin sensitivity and controls gastric emptying.

Half-life: ~7 days (159-195 hours) Typical dose: 2.4mg weekly (after escalation) weight loss, metabolic

Metformin

Biguanide | AMPK Activator & Longevity Research

Metformin exerts its primary effects through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the cell's master energy sensor. AMPK activation triggers a cascade of downstream metabolic improvements: enhanced glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis, improved mitochondrial function, and increased fatty acid oxidation.
