摘要:
The present invention provides methods of administering an insulinotropic peptide in an amount effective to treat a disorder or condition while reducing nausea side effect by administering to a subject in need thereof an insulinotropic peptide conjugated to albumin. The present invention also provides methods of selecting a subject for administration of a conjugated insulinotropic peptide. Exemplary disorders or conditions treatable with an insulinotropic peptide include obesity and type II diabetes.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an insulin derivative comprising an insulin molecule and a reactive group for covalently bonding a blood component, wherein preferably the insulin molecule is human natural insulin molecule and the reactive group is coupled to an amino acid of the insulin molecule at a position selected from the positions Gly A1, Phe B1 and Lys B29.

摘要:
The present invention relates to short polypeptides (e.g., fewer than 19 amino acids in length) and longer polypeptides (e.g., 19 or more amino acids in length) having one or more D-amino acids as targeting moieties. These polypeptides, when conjugated to agents (e.g., therapeutic agents or transport vectors) are capable of transporting the agents across the BBB or into particular cell types. In particular, the short polypeptides can include one or more D-amino acids. These compounds are therefore particularly useful in the treatment of neurological diseases or diseases associated with particular cell types, organs, or tissues.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to conjugates that include a polypeptide capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier or entering one or more cell types attached to a transport vector, i.e., a composition capable of transporting an agent (e.g., a therapeutic agent). In certain cases, the polypeptides are directly conjugated to a lipid or polymeric vector to allow targeted application of a therapeutic agent to treat, for example, a cancer, a neurodegenerative disease, or a lysosomal storage disorder.
摘要:
The present invention relates to multimeric (e.g., dimeric, trimeric) forms of peptide vectors that are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) or efficiently entering particular cell types. These multimeric peptide vectors, when conjugated to agents (e.g., therapeutic agents) are capable of transporting the agents across the BBB or into particular cell types. These compounds are therefore particularly useful in the treatment of neurological diseases.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a compound that includes a peptide vector, such as angiopep-2 which acts as a carrier across the blood-brain barrier, linked to glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or a related molecule, such as an analog or a fragment thereof. The compounds of the invention may be used to treat any disease where increased neuronal survival or growth is desired, e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Other diseases can be treated using the compounds include schizophrenia and depression.
摘要:
The present invention features a compound having the formula A-X-B, where A is peptide vector capable of enhancing transport of the compound across the blood-brain barrier or into particular cell types, X is a linker, and B is a GLP-1 agonist (e.g., exendin-4 or an exendin-4 analog). The compounds of the invention can be used to treat any disease where increased GLP-1 activity is desired, for example, metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes.

摘要:
The present invention features a compound having the formula A-X-B, where A is peptide vector capable of enhancing transport of the compound across the blood-brain barrier or into particular cell types, X is a linker, and B is a leptin, a leptin analog, or OB receptor agonist. The compounds of the invention can be used to treat any disease in which increased amounts of leptin are desired, such as metabolic diseases including obesity and diabetes.
