Davalintide

Davalintide is a potent agonist of the amylin receptor, calcitonin receptor, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, demonstrating high affinity with IC50 values of 0.04 nM, 0.06 nM, and 3.1 nM, respectively. It effectively stimulates cyclic AMP production via the calcitonin receptor, with an EC50 of 1.4 nM. Davalintide has been shown to regulate blood glucose levels and body weight through mechanisms such as delaying gastric emptying, inhibiting glucagon secretion, and suppressing food intake. This peptide is valuable for research applications focused on obesity and diabetes management.
