Used in research settings as a potent antagonist for the amylin receptor, particularly in studies related to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. It has shown potential in improving cognitive function and reducing amyloid pathology in preclinical models. Due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, it is valued in neuroscience for investigating metabolic and neuroinflammatory pathways. Also employed in diabetes-related research for its role in modulating insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. Commonly used in in vitro and in vivo assays to probe receptor function and signaling mechanisms.
