摘要:
Compounds capable of modulating intracellular gap junctional communication, as well as their use in the treatment of diseases associated with impaired gap junction intracellular communication (GJIC) 1 are disclosed.
摘要:
GLP-2 analogues are disclosed which comprise one of more substitutions as compared to [hGly2]GLP-2 and which improved biological activity in vivo and/or improved chemical stability, e.g., as assessed in in vitro stability assays. More particularly, preferred GLP-2 analogues disclosed herein comprise substitutions at one or more of positions 8, 16, 24 and/or 28 of the wild-type GLP-2 sequence, optionally in combination with further substitutions at position 2 (as mentioned in the introduction) and one or more of positions 3, 5, 7, 10 and 11, and/or a deletion of one or more of amino acids 31 to 33 and/or the addition of a N-terminal or C-terminal stabilizing peptide sequence. The analogues are particularly useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of stomach and bowel-related disorders and for ameliorating side effects of chemotherapy. Also disclosed are methods and kits for selecting a patient from populations suited for treatment with GLP-2 analogues.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a pharmacologically active peptide conjugate having a reduced tendency towards enzymatic cleavage comprising a pharmacologically active peptide sequence (X) and a stabilising peptide sequence (Z) of 4-20 amino acid residues covalently bound to X.
摘要:
Disclosed are novel peptides including antiarrhythmic peptides that have improved stability. Further disclosed are compositions that include such peptides and methods of using the compositions particularly as medicaments.

摘要:
Disclosed are a variety of peptide conjugates represented by the following general formula: R1-Z-X-Z′-R2 including methods of making and using such conjugates. Also provided are antibodies that specifically bind the peptide conjugates. The present invention has a wide spectrum of important applications including use in the treatment of disorders impacted by nociceptin and related opioid-like peptides.
摘要:
The present invention relates to use of GLP-1 or a related molecule having a GLP-effect for the manufacture of a medicament for preventing or treating diabetes in a mammal. The amount and timing of administration of said medicament are subsequently reduced to produce a “drug holiday.” Practice of the invention achieves effective therapy without continuous drug exposure and without continuous presence of therapeutic levels of the drug. The invention also discloses a method of treating diabetes and related disorders in a mammal by administering glucagon like peptide (GLP-1) or a related molecule having GLP-1 like effect and thereby providing a therapeutically effective amount of endogenous insulin.
摘要:
The present invention disclosed compositions comprising a stabilized Exendin-4 (1-39) and related compounds. The invention describes stabilized Exendin-4 agonists that include at least one modified amino acid residue particularly at positions Gln 13, Met14, Trp25, or Asn28 of the Exendin-4 (1-39) molecule. Disclosed are preferred modifications of deaminated, hydrolyzed, oxidized, or isomerized reaction products of the specified amino acid residues corresponding to the same positions in the Exendin-4 molecule. The invention also relates to methods of making and using the stabilized Exendin compounds, such as for the treatment of diabetes.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist for use in a method for the treatment and/or prevention of diarrhea, loose stools, urgency, incontinence, high fecal output and/or high stomal output in a patient having undergone surgical resection of the bowel.
