The demonstrated capacity of the synthetic peptide CJC-1295 to produce its desired physiological effect, which is the sustained pulsatile release of Growth Hormone (GH) through its action as a Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog. Clinically, its efficacy is precisely measured by the magnitude and duration of elevated circulating concentrations of both Growth Hormone and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). This metric assesses the peptide’s utility in promoting a sustained anabolic and regenerative state within the body.
Origin
CJC-1295 represents a pharmaceutical innovation developed by modifying the structure of the natural GHRH peptide. The key modification, known as Drug Affinity Complex (DAC), significantly extends the peptide’s biological half-life, a feature that distinguishes it from native GHRH and earlier, shorter-acting synthetic analogs. This prolonged duration of action allows for a far less frequent dosing schedule while maintaining a consistent therapeutic effect.
Mechanism
The peptide functions by binding to and activating the GHRH receptors located on the somatotroph cells within the anterior pituitary gland. The unique DAC technology works by conjugating the peptide to serum albumin in the bloodstream, which shields it from rapid enzymatic degradation and clearance. This sustained receptor activation leads to a more robust, prolonged, and enduring secretion of endogenous Growth Hormone into the circulation.
