摘要:
Peptide sequences capable of binding to insulin and/or insulin-like growth factor receptors with either agonist or antagonist activity and identified from various peptide libraries are disclosed. This invention also identifies at least two different binding sites, which are present on insulin and insulin-like growth factor receptors, and which selectively bind the peptides of this invention. As agonists, certain of the peptides of this invention may be useful for development as therapeutics to supplement or replace endogenous peptide hormones. The antagonists may also be developed as therapeutics.

摘要:
The present invention is drawn to new peptides and proteins that bind to human insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (HIGF-IR), as well as nucleic acids encoding the same, vectors and cells comprising such nucleic acids, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of using any thereof, are provided.
摘要:
Insulin derivatives having a built-in glucose sensor, capable of delivering insulin from a depot as a function of the glucose concentration in the surrounding medium (e.g. tissue), such that the rate of insulin release from the depot increases with an increased glucose concentration and decreases with a decreased glucose concentration.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel amylin derivatives having a protracted action profile, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these derivatives and to the use of the derivatives for the treatment of diseases related to obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
摘要:
The invention described herein provides novel pharmaceutically active molecules (including novel peptide derivatives and peptides) that bind to an insulin receptor; compositions comprising such molecules; methods of modulating insulin receptor activity comprising the delivery of such molecules and related insulin-binding molecules (e.g., in the context of treating and/or preventing insulin receptor-related diseases such as diabetes); nucleic acids encoding such peptides; vectors and host cells comprising such nucleic acids; and methods of producing such molecules and compositions.
摘要:
Provided are new peptidic insulin receptor antagonists (PIRAs) and related compounds and compositions. Also provided are new uses of PIRAs and methods of obtaining PIRAs.
摘要:
Methods for binding insulin receptors (and typically activating one or more function of an insulin receptor) by contacting insulin receptor-presenting cells, such as cells in a subject, with an effective amount of one or more insulin receptor binding peptides, where upregulation of one or more components of the insulin receptor-associated cholesterol synthesis pathway is not desired, are provided.
