Cinacalcet, sold under the brand name Sensipar among others, is a medication used to treat primary hyperparathyroidism, tertiary hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid carcinoma.[4][6][5] Cinacalcet acts as a calcimimetic (i.e., it mimics the action of calcium on tissues) by allosteric activation of the calcium-sensing receptor that is expressed in various human organ tissues.

The most common side effects include nausea and vomiting.[5]

Cinacalcet was approved in the United States in March 2004,[4][7][8] and in the European Union in October 2004.[5][3] It was the first allosteric G protein-coupled receptor modulator to enter the pharmaceutical market.[9] In 2013, cinacalcet was the 76th most prescribed medicine in the United States.[10][11]
