Dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists

Dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists (DACRAs) are a class of drugs that act as agonists at the amylin receptor and calcitonin receptor that are under development as therapies for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Examples are cagrilintide and the KBP family derived from salmon calcitonin,[1] including KBP‐042,[2] KBP-066A,[3] KBP-089,[4] and KBP-336.[5]
