摘要:
Production of human relaxin or novel human relaxin analogs by combination of a human relaxin A-chain and B-chain comprises combining the reduced form of the human relaxin A-chain and the reduced form of the human relaxin B-chain in an aqueous medium having a pH of about 7.0 to 12 at room temperature, under conditions that are mildly denaturing for the relaxin B-chain such that the human relaxin or novel human relaxin analog can be formed.
摘要:
The present invention comprises growth hormone releasing peptides/peptidomimetics (GHRP) capable of causing release of growth hormone from the pituitary. Compositions containing the GHRP's of this invention are used to promote growth in mammals either alone or in combination with other growth promoting compounds, especially IGF-1. In a method of this invention GHRP's in combination with IGF-1 are used to treat Type II diabetes. An exemplary compound of this invention is provided below
摘要:
A peptide containing the tripeptide recognition sequences RGD or KGD in a cycle and an exocyclic group bearing a positive charge is provided. The compound is provided in therapeutic form for administration to a mammal and exhibits high specificity and potency as a platelet aggregation inhibitor without undesireable side effects.
摘要:
The invention in its broad aspects relates to peptide derivatives which are useful as inhibitors platelet function mediated by the GP llbllla receptor and for the prevention of thrombus formation. The compounds of this invention are shown by the following Formula I: ##STR1## and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
摘要:
A polypeptide is provided that excludes (a) a full-length mature TGF-.beta. molecule or precursor TGF-.beta. molecule or deletion variants of mature or precursor TGF-.beta.molecules in which from about 1 to 10 amino acid residues have been delected, (b) a polypeptide of the sequence: Cys-Val-Arg-Gln-Leu-Tyr-Ile-Asp-Phe-Arg-Lys-Asp-Leu-Gly-Trp-Lys, and (c) a polypeptide of the sequence: Arg-Asn -Leu-Glu-Glu-Asn-Cys-Cys-Val-Arg-Pro-Leu-Tyr-Ile-Asp-Phe-Arg-Gln-Asp-Leu, said polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is based on conserved sequences in the family of TGF-.beta. molecules. Such polypeptides are particularly useful therapeutically as immunosuppressive agents when coupled to carrier proteins or crosslinked to form polymers.
摘要:
Human receptor selective atrial natriuretic factor variants containing various substitutions, especially G16R, show equal potency and binding affinity for the human A-receptor but have decreased affinity for the human clearance or C-receptor. These ANF variants have natriuretic, diuretic and vasorelaxant activity but have increased metabolic stability, making them suitable for treating congestive heart failure, acute kidney failure and renal hypertension.
