Research summary

CJC-1295 without DAC (Mod GRF 1-29) — clinical & mechanistic profile

Mod GRF 1-29 is a tetrasubstituted GHRH analog (Ala2, Gln8, Ala15, Leu27) with ~30-minute half-life (vs ~7 min native GHRH) due to DPP-IV resistance. Lacking DAC's albumin binding, it produces acute pulsatile GH release mimicking physiology, synergizing with GHRPs via complementary cAMP/Ca2+ pathways.

Research status

preclinical

Molecular weight

3367.95 g/mol

Molecular formula

C152H252N44O42

Studied applications

  • Preserved pulsatility: ~30 min half-life produces discrete GH spikes mimicking physiological patterns
  • DPP-IV resistance: Ala2 substitution blocks primary degradation enzyme, extending duration from ~7 to ~30 min
  • GHRP synergy: cAMP pathway (GHRH) + Ca2+/IP3 pathway (GHRPs) produce amplified GH pulses beyond additive effects
  • Flexible protocols: short duration allows timing with natural GH windows (sleep, exercise)
  • No albumin binding: lacks DAC moiety, enabling rapid clearance and pulsatile administration

Mechanisms of action

  • GHRHR full agonism: binds pituitary GHRH receptor, triggering Gs-protein coupling and adenylyl cyclase
  • cAMP/PKA pathway: adenylyl cyclase → cAMP → PKA activation → GH gene transcription and vesicle release
  • DPP-IV resistance: Ala2 substitution blocks dipeptidyl peptidase IV cleavage site
  • Synergistic signaling: complements GHRP Ca2+/IP3 pathway for amplified somatotroph activation
  • Dose-dependent peaks: produces sharp GH spikes 15-60 min post-injection, baseline by 180 min
Research constraints & safety notes
  • Not approved for human therapeutic use
  • Short half-life requires 2-3 daily injections for meaningful effects
  • No completed human clinical trials for this specific compound
  • Quality and purity of research compounds varies
  • Optimal dosing and timing protocols not established
