What Cagrilintide is
Cagrilintide is a Long-acting amylin analogue. An analogue of amylin, the pancreatic hormone co-secreted with insulin. Studied for satiety signalling through a mechanism separate from GLP-1, which is why the two are researched in combination.

Where it sits
Incretin compounds are grouped by how many receptors they act at. A single agonist works at GLP-1 alone, a dual agonist adds GIP, and a triple agonist adds glucagon. The receptor count is the clearest way to tell one from another when the names are unfamiliar.
Others in the metabolic and GLP-1 range
Cagrilintide sits in the metabolic and GLP-1 group. The compounds below share that grouping, which is the useful starting point when comparing one against another: same group means the comparison is like for like, different group usually means it is not.
