摘要:
The present invention relates to novel Pancreatic Polypeptide Family (“PPF”) polypeptides. The PPF polypeptides of the invention generally include at least two PPF motif, have at least 50% sequence identity to PYY (3-36) over its length and will generally retain, at least in part, a biological activity of a PP, PYY or NPY. Preferred PPF polypeptides of the invention are those having a potency in one of the assays described herein (preferably food intake, gastric emptying, pancreatic secretion, or weight reduction assays) which is greater than the potency of PP, NPY, PYY, or PYY(3-36) in that same assay. In one aspect, the PPF polypeptides of the invention include novel PYY analog polypeptides. In another aspect, the PPF polypeptides of the invention include PPF chimeric polypeptides including a fragment of a PP family polypeptide linked to a second PP family polypeptide, wherein each of the first and second fragments includes a PPF motif. Methods of using the PPF polypeptides of the invention, and pharmaceutical compositions including the PPF polypeptides of the invention are also disclosed.
摘要:

Pharmaceutical compositions for use in the methods described herein are also disclosed. Further provided are compositions and methods for the treatment and/or prevention of diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and obesity, and for the reduction of food intake and suppression of appetite of subjects.
摘要:
The present invention relates to obesity related polypeptides (ORPs), related nucleic acids, expression constructs, host cells, and processes production of the obesity related polypeptides. The ORPs of the invention include one or more amino acid sequence modifications. In addition, methods and compositions are disclosed to treat and prevent metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and increased cardiovascular risk.
摘要:
The present invention relates to Amylin Family Polypeptide-6 (AFP-6) analogs, which include derivatives and fragments, related nucleic acids, expression constructs, host cells, and processes for recombinant production of the AFP-6 analogs. The AFP-6 analogs of the invention include one or more amino acid sequence modifications. In addition, methods and compositions are disclosed to treat and prevent conditions such as metabolic and cardiovascular disorders, e.g., obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, myocardial ischemia, and increased cardiovascular risk.
