History
CJC-1295 was developed by ConjuChem Biotechnologies in the early 2000s as part of efforts to create GHRH analogs with improved pharmacokinetic properties. The original CJC-1295 with DAC (drug affinity complex) was designed for prolonged activity through albumin binding, reaching phase II experimental programs before discontinuation. The No DAC variant, retaining the core GHRH(1-29) modifications without the albumin-binding complex, emerged as a research tool for studying pulsatile signaling dynamics and has become widely utilized in somatotroph axis investigations.

CJC-1295 no DAC Structure

CAS #: 863288-34-0
Molecular Formula: C₁₆₅H₂₆₉N₄₇O₄₆
Molecular Weight: 3647.28 g/mol
PubChem ID: 91976529
Research Findings
CJC-1295 No DAC has been extensively studied in neuroendocrine research, with investigations focusing on pulsatile signaling patterns, pituitary pathway pharmacology, downstream effects, and somatotroph axis regulation in various experimental models. Studies examine its role in amplifying endogenous pulsatile signaling without disrupting native rhythms.
Key Areas of Research:
-
Signaling: Pulsatile, circadian, peak modulation
-
Pharmacology: Target binding, somatotroph, cAMP
-
Downstream: Hepatic signaling, cascades, activation
-
Endocrine: Lipolysis, nitrogen, protein synthesis
Together, these investigations demonstrate CJC-1295 No DAC’s ability to modulate pulsatile endocrine signaling patterns. As a short-acting GHRH analog, it provides a research framework for examining hypothalamic-pituitary-somatotroph axis function, pulsatile dynamics, and downstream signaling in diverse experimental paradigms.
