Best-Effort Research Profile

Petrelintide is a synthetic peptide analogue of human amylin with agonistic activity at amylin receptors AMY1 and AMY3 and activity at the calcitonin receptor relative to human calcitonin. Its fatty-acyl modification promotes reversible albumin binding and prolonged systemic exposure. Human phase 1 studies evaluated subcutaneous and intravenous administration, with subsequent development focused on once-weekly subcutaneous dosing.

Source review pending. This descriptive profile is shown from the available source material as a best-effort educational reference. It has not passed the full verification bar and is not a dosing instruction, medical claim, or treatment recommendation.

Research Profile

Half-Life
Approximately 10 days in humans in phase 1 studies; reported mean terminal half-life was approximately 213–257 hours after subcutaneous dosing and approximately 239 hours after intravenous dosing.
Onset
After single subcutaneous dosing in humans, median time to maximum plasma concentration was approximately 28–108 hours. In the multiple-ascending-dose study, maximum plasma concentration was reached approximately 24 hours after weekly dosing.
Administration Routes (Research)
subcutaneousintravenous

Reported Research Effects

Reflects preclinical/research literature context only. Not a medical claim, dosing instruction, or treatment recommendation.

Research Notes

Phase 1 studies evaluated single subcutaneous doses of 0.04–2.4 mg and a single 0.35 mg intravenous dose. Multiple-ascending-dose studies evaluated once-weekly subcutaneous dosing at 0.6 and 1.2 mg for 6 weeks, and dose-escalation regimens targeting 2.4, 4.8, or 9.0 mg over 16 weeks. These are study regimens recorded for research reference only and are not prescribing or administration recommendations. ClinicalTrials.gov records identify ZP8396 as petrelintide and document ongoing clinical evaluation, including once-weekly subcutaneous administration.

Registry Identifiers

Molecular formula: C185H305N49O61; approximate molecular mass: 4.2 kDa; WHO Recommended INN: petrelintide; PubChem CID: 172915807; development code: ZP8396; Roche development code: RO7895515.

Source-Backed Observations

Petrelintide is an investigational compound and is not represented here as an approved or marketed medicine. WHO documentation describes the 37-residue peptide structure, its 19-carboxynonadecanoyl modification, and an intramolecular amide bridge between Asp4 and Lys6. PubChem also lists a ZP8396-related record with a different molecular formula; the WHO Recommended INN record and current PubChem petrelintide record support C185H305N49O61 for petrelintide itself.
