摘要:
Cyclic peptides of formula I are potent and selective agonists of melanocortin-4 receptors, and as such are useful research tool for the determination of the physiological roles of the MC-4 receptor, as well as for the diagnoses, treatment or prevention of disorders or diseases mediated through the MC-4 receptor.

摘要:
The present invention features truncated MCH analogs active at the MCH receptor. The truncated MCH analogs are optionally modified peptide derivatives of mammalian MCH. The analogs can bind to the MCH receptor and, preferably, bring about signal transduction. MCH analogs have a variety of different uses including being used as a research tool and being used therapeutically.
摘要:
The present invention features truncated ghrelin analogs active at the GHS receptor. Ghrelin is a naturally occurring modified peptide. The analogs can bind to the GHS receptor and, preferably, bring about signal transduction. Ghrelin analogs have a variety of different uses including being used as a research tool and being used therapeutically.
摘要:
The present invention features MCH antagonists active at the MCH-1R. The antagonists are optionally modified peptides able to inhibit the effect of MCH at MCH-1R. MCH antagonists have a variety of uses including being used as a research tool and being used to achieve a beneficial effect in a subject.
摘要:
The present invention features truncated hMCH analogs selectively active at MCH-1R over MCH-2R. Using amino acid numbering provided in hMCH, the featured analogs contain an X6 which is either a D-amino acid, 5-guanidinopropionic acid or its lower or higher homolog, or a derivative thereof; and a X10 which is either asparagine, glutamine, alanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, norleucine, cyclohexylalanine, phenylalanine, (2′)-naphthylalanine, tyrosine, histidine, tryptophan, lysine, serine, threonine, methionine, or a derivative thereof.
