摘要:
Linear and cyclic peptides are provided specific to one or melanocortin receptors, and which exhibit agonist, antagonist, or mixed agonist-antagonist activity. In one embodiment, a linear peptide of the following general formula is provided:
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel peptide compounds which are effective in modulating one or more melanocortin receptor types, to the use of the compounds in therapy, to methods of treatment comprising administration of the compounds to patients in need thereof, and to the use of the compounds in the manufacture of medicaments. The compounds of the invention are of particular interest in relation to the treatment of obesity as well as a variety of diseases or conditions associated with obesity.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel chimeric peptides and templates containing a combination of antagonist and agonist endogenous ligand residues. In particular, the present invention relates to novel chimeric peptides and templates thereof based upon melanocortin agonist peptides and agouti related protein (AGRP). The present invention provides multifunctional chimeric peptides having specific bioactivity at melanocortin receptors and their use as drugs to treat various diseases and conditions.
摘要:
Metallopeptides with a sequence of a biologically active alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), gamma-melanocyte stimulating hormone (γ-MSH), or bombesin sequence of length n residues, wherein a residue including a nitrogen atom and sulfur atom each available for complexation to a metal ion is inserted at any position from between the two and three position to the C-terminus side of the n position, or alternatively is substituted for the residue at any position from the three position to the n position, with a metal ion complexed thereto, with any proline (Pro) residue which is either of the two residues on the immediately adjacent N-terminus side of the inserted or substituent residue comprising a nitrogen atom and sulfur atom available for complexation to a metal ion is substituted with a homolog.
