摘要:
The present invention relates to novel peptides that are potent cytokine restraining agents. In addition, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a cytokine restraining agent. Administration of such a cytokine restraining agent to a subject restrains, but does not necessarily suppress, cytokine activity completely. Thus, the present invention provides a method of restraining pathologically elevated cytokine activity in a subject. The invention also provides methods of treating disuse deconditioning and diseases mediated by nitric oxide and cytokines, such as diabetes and glomerulonephritis, a method of organ protection, a method of organ protection, and a method of reducing the negative side effects of cancer chemotherapy, such as nephrotoxicity.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel peptides that are potent cytokine regulatory agents. In addition, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a cytokine regulatory agent. Administration of such a cytokine regulatory agent to a subject can enhance or restrain cytokine activity. Thus, the present invention provides a method of regulating cytokine activity in a subject having a condition characterized by aberrant or altered cytokine activity. The invention also provides methods of treating such conditions, including, for example, disuse deconditioning, diseases mediated by nitric oxide and cytokines, adverse drug reactions, obesity, septic shock, and adverse side effects due to cancer chemotherapy or occurring as in response to organ transplantation.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel cytokine restraining agents, which limit or control the biological activity of cytokines. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a cytokine restraining peptide and methods of administering the pharmaceutical composition to a subject. The invention further provides methods for using the novel peptides to restrain cytokine activity in a subject.

摘要:
The invention provides ligands for melanocortin receptors. For example, the invention provides the melanocortin receptor peptide ligand Ac-Nlc-Gln-His-(p(I)-D-Phe)-Arg-(D-Trp)-Cly-NH2, (SEQ ID NO: 1), where the iodo group is unlabeled or radioactively labeled. The invention additionally provides methods of assaying for melanocortin receptors in a cell or tissue such as brain. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a melanocortin receptor ligand and to methods of administering the pharmaceutical composition to a subject. The invention further provides tetrapeptide ligands for melanocortin receptors and methods of altering melanocortin receptor activity.

摘要:
A solid phase synthetic method is disclosed in which the usual solid phase synthetic steps are carried out and the spent solid phase support is reacted to form a volatilizable compound upon cleavage of the reaction product from the solid phase support. The cleaved product is then separated from the volatile compound by volatilization of that compound. Exemplary solid supports that form a volatilizable compound are also disclosed.

The present invention provides novel opioid peptides. Disclosed are opioid peptides having the general structures Ac-Phe-Arg-Trp-Trp-Tyr-Xaa-NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO. 1); Ac-Arg-Trp-Ile-Gly-Trp-Xaa-NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO. 2); Trp-Trp-Pro-Lys-His-Xaa-NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO. 3); and shorter versions of the latter, namely, Trp-Trp-Pro-Xaa-NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO. 4); Tyr-Pro-Phe-Gly-Phe-Xaa-NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO. 5); (D)Ile-(D)Met-(D)Ser-(D)Trp-(D)Trp-Gly.sub.n -Xaa-NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO. 6); and (D)Ile-(D)Met-(D)Thr-(D)Trp-Gly-Xaa-NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO. 7). Within each genus, Xaa is substituted by a specific amino acid. The invention also relates to an opioid peptide having the general structure Tyr-A1-B2-C3-NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO. 214), wherein A is D-Nve or D-Nle, B is Gly, Phe, or Trp, and C is Trp or Nap. Also included within the invention are opioid peptides of the general structure Me.sub.x H.sub.y N-Tyr-Tyr-Phe.sub.m -Pro.sub.n -NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO. 221) which are peptides modified by permethylation, perallylation, perethylation, perbenzylation and/or pernaphthylation and which can be further modified by reduction.
