Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of ameliorating inflammation, inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine and/or chemokine expression and treating various diseases and/or conditions incidental to the onset of inflammation, in a subject in need of treatment for such conditions, by administering select analogues of native hGhrelin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and intermediates for chemical synthesis of polypeptides and proteins, and more particularly to methods and intermediates for chemically ligating a peptide fragment containing N-terminal ß-methyl-cysteine (SEQ ID NO: 1) with another peptide fragment having C-terminal thioester to generate a ß-amino-thioester intermediate that spontaneously rearranges to form an amide bond. The invention also relates to methods of synthesizing ß-methyl-cysteine (SEQ ID NO: 1) and its protected forms. Furthermore, the invention relates to converting a ß-methyl-thiazolidine residue to a ß-methyl-cysteine (SEQ ID NO: 1) residue of polypeptides and proteins.
