摘要:
The present invention is characterized by the use of Mas-G- protein-coupled receptor agonists for the control, prevention and treatment of the body levels of triglycerides, cholesterol and glucose, as well as of hyper- tension and possible increase in body weight, which are characteristic of the clinical manifestation of the metabolic syndrome and its complications. Another characteristic of the invention is the use of Mas-G-protein- coupled receptor agonists, including the Angiotensin-(1-7) peptide and its analogs, agonists, either peptidic or non-peptidic, as modulators of the mani- festations of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance and in the prevention and treatment of the related alterations. The invention claims the use of MAS-G-protein-coupled receptor agonists, formulated with pharmaceutically and pharmacologically acceptable excipients or carriers, and Mas-G-protein-coupled receptor agonists, includ- ing the Angiotensin-(1-7) peptide and its analogs, agonists, either peptidic or non-peptidic, as modulators of the metabolic syndrome, the diseases that compose it and its complications.

"PEPTIDE DES-[ASP 1 ]-[ALA 1 ] ANGIOTENSIN-(1-7) AGONIST AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES" The present invention is related to the peptide Des-[Asp 1 ]-[Ala 1 ]-Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ala 1 -Arg 2 -Val 3 -Tyr 4 -Ile 5 -His 6 -Pro 7 ) and/or its related compounds as vasodilating and cardioprotective agents to be used in mammals. This invention also comprises the production of compositions containing Des-[Asp 1 ]-[Ala 1 ]-Angiotensin-(1-7) and/or its related compounds and its use in methods for treating and preventing diseases.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the peptide (arg0) n-angiotensin-(1-7) [(arg0) n-Ang-(1-7)], where n is 1 to 10 (Xaa-Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro; SEQ ID NO:1 where Xaa represents 1 to 10 L-Arg residues), which is produced by inserting at least one arginine amino acid at the amino terminal position of Ang-(1-7), as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing this peptide and the use thereof for the treatment or prevention of diseases or disorders that are due or associated with reduced nitric oxide production. Non-limiting examples of these diseases or disorders are cardiopulmonary and liver diseases, vascular disorders, metabolic disorders, neural disorders, genito-urinary tract disorders, skeletal muscle disorders, kidney disorders, skin disorders, alopecia or tumors. The peptide is able to cause, for example, dilation of aortic and mesenteric vessels, reduction of mean arterial blood pressure, decrease of body weight gain, blockade of the development of visceral adiposity, reduced serum and liver cholesterol levels, the normalization of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, and an anti-proliferative effect. The peptides of the invention, such as (arg0) n-Ang-(1-7), optionally can be associated with a carrier system or controlled drug release system.

摘要:
The present invention is characterized by the use of Mas G- protein-coupled receptor agonists and antagonists as apoptotic activity modulators for study, prevention and treatment of diseases. It is further characterized by the use of Mas G-protein-coupled receptor agonist and antagonists for modulation of the apoptotic activity involving alterations in the activity of the protein kinase B/Akt. Another characteristic of the invention is the use of Mas G-protein-coupled receptor agonists and antagonists, including the Ang- (1-7) peptide and its analogues, agonists and antagonists, either peptidic or non-peptidic, as modulators of apoptotic activity for study, prevention and treatment of degenerative diseases of organs and systems, as an auxiliary measure for organs transplantation, treatment with embryonic, non- embryonic stem cells, re-implantation of organs and tissues and other treatments that need temporary or chronic reduction of the apoptotic activity, not limitative. The invention further claims the use of Mas G-protein-coupled receptor agonists and antagonists, including the Angiotensin-(1-7) peptide and its analogues, agonists and antagonists, either peptidic or non-peptidic, formulated with pharmaceutically and pharmacologically acceptable excipients or carriers, as modulators of the apoptotic activity.
