摘要:
The present invention relates to novel Pancreatic Polypeptide Family (“PPF”) polypeptides. The PPF polypeptides of the invention generally include at least two PPF motif, have at least 50% sequence identity to PYY (3-36) over its length and will generally retain, at least in part, a biological activity of a PP, PYY or NPY. Preferred PPF polypeptides of the invention are those having a potency in one of the assays described herein (preferably food intake, gastric emptying, pancreatic secretion, or weight reduction assays) which is greater than the potency of PP, NPY, PYY, or PYY(3-36) in that same assay. In one aspect, the PPF polypeptides of the invention include novel PYY analog polypeptides. In another aspect, the PPF polypeptides of the invention include PPF chimeric polypeptides including a fragment of a PP family polypeptide linked to a second PP family polypeptide, wherein each of the first and second fragments includes a PPF motif. Methods of using the PPF polypeptides of the invention, and pharmaceutical compositions including the PPF polypeptides of the invention are also disclosed.
摘要:
Novel exendin agonist compounds are provided. These compounds are useful in treating Type I and II diabetes and conditions which would benefit by lower plasma glucose and delaying and/or slowing gastric emptying.
摘要:
Modified exendins and exendin agonists having an exendin or exendin agonist linked to one or more polyethylene glycol polymers, for example, and related formulations and dosages and methods of administration thereof are provided. These modified exendins and exendin agonists, compositions and methods are useful in treating diabetes and conditions that would be benefited by lowering plasma glucose or delaying and/or slowing gastric emptying or inhibiting food intake.

摘要:
Compounds of formula I which act as amylin agonists with respect to certain desired amylin activities and as calcitonin agonists with respect to certain desired calcitonin activities are provided. Such compounds are useful in treating disturbances in fuel metabolism in mammals, including, but not limited to diabetes mellitus, including Type I diabetes and Type II diabetes. The present invention also relates to methods of treating Type I diabetes, treating Type II diabetes and to methods of beneficially regulating gastrointestinal motility comprising administration of a therapeutically effective among of one of the compounds. Also provided are pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
摘要:
Compounds which inhibit amylin activity are provided. These compounds may be used in the treatment of conditions where it is of benefit to reduce amylin activity, including the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, obesity and insulin resistance.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel compounds having a function of a peptide in the amylin family, related nucleic acids, expression constructs, host cells, and processes production of the compounds. The compounds of the invention include one or more amino acid sequence modifications. In addition, methods and compositions are disclosed to treat and prevent metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and increased cardiovascular risk.
