CAG-4 10mg

CAG-4 10mg is a 10mg vial of CAG-4 (cagrilintide), a long-acting amylin analog, supplied as freeze-dried powder. It’s for in-vitro and lab research only.

CAG-4 is our code name for cagrilintide. The compound inside the vial is cagrilintide, and everything below describes it.

CAG-4 is the Peptira catalog name for cagrilintide, the long-acting amylin analog. It’s often studied next to SEMA-1 (semaglutide) and RETA-3 (retatrutide).

What is CAG-4 (cagrilintide)?

Cagrilintide is a long-acting acylated analog of amylin from Novo Nordisk. Amylin is a hormone released with insulin after meals that signals fullness and slows stomach emptying.

Natural amylin clumps and lasts only minutes. Cagrilintide is built to stay soluble and last about a week, which makes once-weekly study possible.

CAG-4 mechanism of action

Amylin is released by the pancreas together with insulin. It slows stomach emptying, damps glucagon after meals and signals fullness through the brainstem.

Natural amylin clumps and clears fast. Cagrilintide is changed to stay soluble and carries a fatty acid for albumin binding, which gives it a long half-life. It’s often studied next to GLP-1 compounds because the two act through different pathways.

What the research says about CAG-4

Enebo and colleagues reported a phase 2 trial in The Lancet in 2021: at the top dose, average weight loss was 10.8% at 26 weeks, against 9.0% with the GLP-1 drug liraglutide.

Novo Nordisk then paired it with semaglutide as CagriSema, tested in the phase 3 REDEFINE trials.

How CAG-4 compares

Here’s how CAG-4 10mg fits among related compounds. CAG-4 works through amylin receptors instead of incretins, often studied next to or with semaglutide. By comparison:

• SEMA-1 acts on the GLP-1 receptor only and lasts about a week, the most studied compound in the group
• TIRZ-2 adds GIP receptor activity to GLP-1, a dual agonist with larger weight effects than semaglutide in trials
• RETA-3 hits GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors, the triple agonist with the biggest phase 2 numbers so far
• Survodutide is another GLP-1 and glucagon dual agonist, in phase 3 for obesity and the liver disease MASH

The main difference between these compounds is which receptors they hit. Pick the one that matches the receptor question in your study, and use the others as comparisons. See them all on our GLP-1 peptides page.

How to reconstitute CAG-4 10mg

Concentration is the amount in the vial divided by the volume of water you add. With 10mg of powder in this vial:

• 1mL of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/mL
• 2mL of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/mL
• 3mL of bacteriostatic water gives 3.33mg/mL

Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later.

Use sterile bacteriostatic water, like our bacteriostatic water. Let the vial reach room temperature, run the water slowly down the inside of the glass, then roll the vial gently until the powder dissolves. Don’t shake it. Shaking can shear peptide chains.

CAG-4 10mg storage and shelf life

The dry powder keeps best cold and dark. A freezer at -20°C is right for long-term storage. After reconstitution, store it in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and finish it within roughly four weeks.

Leave sealed vials sealed until you need them. Dry powder in a closed vial lasts far longer than solution, so there’s no reason to mix more than one at a time.

CAG-4 10mg quality and handling

The vial label shows the compound and the amount. For anything your lab needs on file beyond that, email Peptira support with the product name before you place the order.

Labs that check material in-house normally confirm identity with mass spectrometry, which checks the molecular weight, and measure purity with HPLC, which separates the main compound from anything else in the sample.

Write the order date and the vial details into your lab notes. If a result looks odd later, you can tie it back to the exact material you used.

Often ordered with CAG-4 10mg

• SEMA-1 20mg, a GLP-1 agonist
• TIRZ-2 30mg, a GIP/GLP-1 agonist
• RETA-3 30mg, a triple agonist
• Survodutide 10mg, a GLP-1/glucagon agonist
• 5-Amino-1MQ 50mg, an NNMT inhibitor
