摘要:
The invention relates generally to compounds which are allosteric modulators (e.g., negative and positive allosteric modulators, allosteric agonists, and ago-allosteric modulators) of the G protein coupled receptor apelin, also known as the APJ receptor. The APJ receptor compounds are derived from the intracellular loops and domains of the the APJ receptor. The invention also relates to the use of these APJ receptor compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the APJ receptor compounds in the treatment of diseases and conditions associated with APJ receptor modulation, such as heart diseases (e.g., hypertension and tension and heart failure, such as congestive heart failure), cancer, diabetes, stem cell trafficking, fluid homeostasis, cell proliferation, immune function, obesity, metastatic disease, and HIV infection.

The invention relates generally to compounds which are allosteric modulators (e.g., positive and negative allosteric modulators, and allosteric agonists) of the G protein coupled receptor for stromal derived factor 1 (SDF-I), also known as the CX-CR4 receptor. The CXCR4 receptor compounds are derived from the intracellular loops and domains of the CXCR4 receptor. The invention also relates to the use of these CXCR4 receptor compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the CXCR4 receptor compounds in the treatment of diseases and conditions associated with CXCR4 modulation such as bone marrow trans-plantation, chemosensitization, cancer, metastatic disease, inflammatory diseases, HIV infection and stem cell-based regenerative medicine.
摘要:
The invention relates generally to compounds which are allosteric modulators (e.g., negative and positive allosteric modulators, allosteric agonists, and ago-allosteric modulators) of the G protein coupled receptor for corticotrophin releasing hormone (or factor) receptor 1, also known as the CRF1, CRHR1, CRFR1, CRHR, CRF-R. The CRF1 receptor compounds are derived from the intracellular loops and domains of CRF1 receptor. The invention also relates to the use of these CRF1 receptor compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the CRF1 receptor compounds in the treatment of diseases and conditions associated with CRF1 receptor modulation, such as inflammatory bowel disease (peripherally acting), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), stress response (colonic motor activity), anxiety, sleep disorder, addictive behavior, acute and chronic neurodegeneration, preterm labor and pain.

摘要:
A method for producing a fusion peptide. A vector is provided with nucleic acid encoding a carrier peptide and at the 3' end of the nucleic acid, a unidirectional restriction endonuclease cleavage site recognized by a restriction endonuclease with the ability to create a non-palindromic 3-base overhang. The vector is cleaved with the restriction endonuclease to produce a cleaved vector. One or more nucleic acids encoding a desired peptide and having at least a 3-base overhang at each end configured and arranged for ligation with the cleaved vector is then ligated to the cleavage site.
