摘要:
Disclosed herein is the use of an active agent comprising a peptide derived from atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) prohormone or a mimetic thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for treating a disease in a subject. The medicament is administered subcutaneously in a multimodal dosage regime comprising at least an initial dosage stage and at least one maintenance dosage stage. The initial dosage stage comprises infusing the active agent at an initial dosage rate for an initial period to achieve a target steady state blood plasma concentration of the active agent or metabolite thereof. The maintenance dosage stage(s) comprise(s) adjusting the dosage rate to a maintenance dosage rate for a maintenance period to substantially maintain said target steady state blood plasma concentration of the active agent or metabolite thereof.
摘要:
Methods of producing a recombinant peptide, such as vessel dilator peptide (VSDL), are disclosed, including a particular method involving expressing a fusion polypeptide comprising concatemeric repeats of the peptide wherein the peptide is flanked by peptide cleavage sites, and cleaving the fusion polypeptide at the peptide cleavage sites with a cleaving agent(s) so as to release the peptide from the fusion polypeptide. Expression constructs and host cells for producing the fusion polypeptide and purification methods for the recombinant peptide are also disclosed.

摘要:
A therapeutic method for treating and/or preventing diseases and medical conditions typically treated by administering diuretic agents (eg congestive heart failure). The method may comprise, for example, administering to a subject a diuretic agent in combination with vessel dilator (VSDL) or a variant or modified peptide thereof. The administration of the diuretic agent may be a component of a standard of care (SOC) treatment.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of treating congestive heart failure (CHF) in a subject comprising administering a peptide derived from atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) prohormone (eg vessel dilator; VSDL) or a mimetic thereof. In a particular application, the invention provides a method of treating the particular indication known as acute decompensated congestive heart failure (ADCHF). Devices for intravenous or subcutaneous infusion for use in the method of the invention are also disclosed.
