Cagrilintide Reconstitution Calculator

For in vitro research use only · Not medical advice

Preset to a 10 mg Cagrilintide vial in 2 mL of diluent. A 10 mg vial in 2 mL yields 5 mg/mL. Add diluent slowly down the vial wall and swirl — never shake an acylated peptide.

A 10 mg Cagrilintide vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Measuring 0.200 mL gives 1,000 mcg per portion — about 10 portions from the vial.

Choosing a diluent for Cagrilintide

Reported aqueous solubility varies widely between reagent suppliers — from sparingly soluble in PBS at pH 7.2 to freely soluble in water with sonication — so treat any single published figure as buffer-, pH- and lot-dependent rather than a fixed property. The behaviour is characteristic of lipidated peptides: the C20 diacid that drives albumin binding also drives self-association, which makes apparent solubility sensitive to conditions. Introduce diluent slowly and allow time before concluding a vial has failed to dissolve.

Alternative 2Phosphate-buffered saline

Handling notes for Cagrilintide

  • Never shake. Swirl gently and allow the cake to dissolve in its own time.
  • Do not freeze reconstituted solution.
  • Add diluent down the vial wall rather than directly onto the cake.
  • Treat visible particulate or a settling precipitate as a rejected vial — for an amylin analogue this is the observable end of the fibrillation pathway, not a cosmetic issue.

After reconstitution

StorageRefrigerate at 2–8 °C. As with other fatty-acid-acylated peptides, the acylation that extends half-life also contributes real solution stability.
Working windowCommonly worked with for 3–4 weeks at 2–8 °C.
Freeze–thawAvoid freezing reconstituted material. For an amylin analogue the freeze–thaw concern is not only interfacial aggregation but nucleation of the fibril pathway the molecule was engineered to resist — and fibril formation, once seeded, does not reverse on rewarming.
