CJC-1295 with DAC vs. Modified GRF (1-29): the drug affinity complex extends hal
“CJC-1295” is used for two backbones. One carries a C-terminal Lys with a maleimidopropionyl (DAC) handle. The other is tetrasubstituted GRF(1–29) amide without that handle (often sold as “CJC-1295 no DAC” or modified GRF 1-29). They are different formulae and different masses. This site does not list either as a catalog SKU.
How to tell them apart
| With DAC | No DAC (mod GRF 1-29) | |
|---|---|---|
| Formula (typical) | C165H269N47O46 | C152H252N44O42 |
| Nominal MW | ~3647 Da | ~3368 Da |
| PubChem | CID 91971820 | related records around CID 56841945 / 91976842 |
| CAS in circulation | often 446262-90-4 | 863288-34-0 is deprecated and often mis-paired |
A user-facing spec that prints CAS 863288-34-0 with DAC is the pairing FDA’s compounding committee flagged as unreliable.2 Believe formula and observed mass of the maleimide, not the nickname. We will not invent HPLC% for a molecule we do not list.
The GHRH-class listing actually on this catalog is Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin — a different analogue, with its own two CAS numbers.
