Mechanisms of Action
Data presented from peer-reviewed in vitro studies. All findings are laboratory observations only.
CJC-1295 No DAC binds and activates the GHRH receptor on somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary, producing a GH secretory pulse of greater amplitude than native GHRH while preserving physiological pulsatility.
GH pulses stimulated by CJC-1295 No DAC drive hepatic IGF-1 production via the JAK2-STAT5 signalling pathway. Sustained IGF-1 elevation is observed in the hours following each pulse in published cell culture models.
The Ala and Gln substitutions at positions 2 and 8 of the native GHRH(1-29) sequence protect CJC-1295 No DAC from DPP-IV enzymatic cleavage, extending its in vitro half-life from ~2 minutes (native GHRH) to approximately 30 minutes.
In vitro pituitary cell cultures treated with CJC-1295 No DAC demonstrated GH release 3× greater than native GHRH at equivalent molar concentrations, with pulsatile release kinetics preserved.

Researcher Reference
CJC-1295 No DAC (also known as Modified GRF 1-29) is the 29-amino-acid GHRH fragment that produces short-duration, pulsatile GH release (half-life ~30 minutes). CJC-1295 with DAC has a Drug Affinity Complex modification that binds serum albumin, extending its half-life to 6–8 days and producing sustained, non-pulsatile GH elevation.
The body's natural GH secretion occurs in pulses, particularly during slow-wave sleep. Pulsatile patterns are associated with optimal receptor sensitivity and downstream IGF-1 response. Sustained non-pulsatile GH exposure (as with DAC modification) may lead to receptor downregulation in prolonged studies. CJC-1295 No DAC is preferred in research protocols seeking to mimic physiological GH secretion.
In vitro pituitary cell studies typically use 1–10 nM concentrations. Phase I/II clinical studies used subcutaneous doses of 30–60 µg/kg bodyweight to characterise pharmacokinetics and GH/IGF-1 response profiles.
Published data show no significant elevation of cortisol or prolactin at research concentrations, consistent with selective GHRH receptor agonism. This distinguishes it from GHRP compounds such as GHRP-6 and Hexarelin, which have been associated with cortisol elevation.
