摘要:
Reversible pegylated drugs are provided by derivatization of free functional groups of the drug selected from amino, hydroxyl, mercapto, phosphate and/or carboxyl with groups sensitive to mild basic conditions such as 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) or 2-sulfo-9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMS), to which group a PEG moiety is attached. In these pegylated drugs, the PEG moiety and the drug residue are not linked directly to each other, but rather both residues are linked to different positions of the scaffold Fmoc or FMS structure that is highly sensitive to bases and is removable under physiological conditions. The drugs are preferably drugs containing an amino group, most preferably peptides and proteins of low or medium molecular weight. Similar molecules are provided wherein a protein carrier or another polymer carrier replaces the PEG moiety.
摘要:
The invention provides a PYY agonist derivative of the formula: (X)n-Z, wherein X is a radical 9-fluorenylmethoxy-carbonyl (Fmoc) or 2-sulfo-9-fluorenyl-methoxycarbonyl (FMS), Z is the residue of a PYY agonist linked to the radical X through an amino or hydroxyl group, and n is 1 to 3, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for reducing food intake and treatment of a disease, condition or disorder that can be alleviated by reduction of food intake such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular risk, eating disorder, insulin-resistance, or diabetes mellitus.
摘要:
Novel iron chelators exhibiting neuroprotective and good transport properties are useful in iron chelation therapy for treatment of a disease, disorder or condition associated with iron overload and oxidative stress, eg. a neurodegenerative or cerebrovascular disease or disorder, a neoplastic disease, hemochromatosis, thalassemia, a cardiovascular disease, diabetes, a inflammatory disorder, anthracycline cardiotoxicity, a viral infection, a protozoal infection, a yeast infection, retarding ageing, and prevention and/or treatment of skin ageing and skin protection against sunlight and/or UV light. The iron chelator function is provided by a 8-hydroxyquinoline, a hydroxypyridinone or a hydroxamate moiety, the neuroprotective function is imparted to the compound e.g. by a neuroprotective peptide, and a combined antiapoptotic and neuroprotective function by a propargyl group.
摘要:
Monohydroxamate vanadium complexes of the formula (1): R—CO—NHOH.X, wherein R is a residue selected from: (i) H2N—CH(COY)—(CH2)n—, wherein n is 1, 2 or 3, and Y is OH or NH2; (ii) H2N—CH2—S—CH2—; and (iii) pyridyl, piperidyl or tetrahydroisoquinolinyl; and X is a vanadium compound selected from a vanadyl (VO2+), metavanadate (VO3−)or vanadate (VO43−)) salt, are useful for inducing normoglycemia and/or reducing blood glucose levels in diabetic patients.
摘要:
A peptide having the structure of the p277 sequence of hsp60 in which one or both cysteine residues are replaced by valine residues and/or in which the Thr19 residue is replaced by Lys, has substantially the same biological activity as p277 but with substantially improved stability. The novel p277 analogues may be used for every purpose that p277 can be used.
摘要:
There are provided novel compounds for the treatment of male impotence. The compounds are derived from vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in which the natural amino acid sequence is modified by replacement of any of the 5, 17 and 19 amino acid residues by other natural or non-natural amino acids, and they bear at least one terminal lipophilic group.The modified VIP sequences are prepared by conventional peptide chain assembling methods.The novel compounds and compositions containing them are suitable for transdermal application for treating male impotence.
摘要:
The present invention provides albumin-binding probes capable of reversibly linking to short-lived amino-containing drugs and non-covalently associating with albumin in-vivo, thereby converting said drugs into inactive reactivable prodrugs having prolonged lifetime in-vivo. The invention further provides conjugates of said probes with amino-containing drugs, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and uses thereof.
摘要:

摘要:
Synthetic anti-inflammatory peptides derived from the sequence of IL-2 are provided. Parent peptides of the sequences Ile-Val-Leu, Glu-Phe-Leu-Asn-Arg-Trp-Ile-Thr (SEQ ID NO:1) and Arg-Met-Leu-Thr (SEQ ID NO:2), were obtained by elastase enzymatic digestion of IL-2, synthesized and modified. The peptides are useful in conditions of acute and chronic inflammation such as in autoimmune diseases.
