CJC-1295 GH denotes the pharmacological interaction where the synthetic peptide CJC-1295 acts to enhance the secretion of endogenous Growth Hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. CJC-1295 is classified as a Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog, characterized by its sustained half-life due to its Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) modification. The clinical objective is to elevate baseline and pulsatile GH levels in a manner that closely mimics the natural physiological rhythm. This therapeutic approach is used to improve body composition, enhance cellular repair, and support metabolic function.
Origin
The term combines the investigational peptide name, CJC-1295, with the established endocrine hormone, GH. CJC-1295 was developed to address the short half-life limitation of native GHRH, making it a more clinically practical and sustained secretagogue. Its origin is rooted in pharmaceutical research aimed at optimizing the pulsatile release of growth hormone for clinical applications. This development represents a significant advancement in the targeted manipulation of the somatotropic axis.
Mechanism
CJC-1295 functions by binding with high affinity to the GHRH receptors on somatotroph cells within the anterior pituitary gland. The DAC modification allows it to bind to serum albumin, significantly extending its duration of action and resulting in a prolonged, stable elevation of GH release. This sustained signaling stimulates the pituitary to synthesize and release GH, which subsequently travels to the liver and other tissues to induce the production of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), the primary mediator of GH’s anabolic effects.
