    摘要: Cyclic analogues of the tridecapeptide hormone, .alpha.-melanotropin. (.alpha.-melanocyte stimulating hormone, .alpha.-MSH), wherein a physiologically stable intramolecular interaction exists (1) between the amino acid residue at position 4 and an amino acid residue at position 10 or 11, and/or (2) between the amino acid residue at position 5 and an amino acid residue at position 10 or 11. Preferred analogues, e.g., [half-Cys.sup.4, half-Cys.sup.10 ]-.alpha.-MSH display greatly increased in vitro potency, prolongation, and resistance to enzymatic degradation.

    摘要: Effects of endogenous glucagon in mammals are diminished by administration of compositions including certain semi-synthetic analogs of glucagon. Preferred analogs include [N.sup..alpha. -TNB, HArg.sup.12 ]glucagon and [dHis.sup.1 ][N.sup..alpha. -TNB, HArg.sup.12 ]glucagon, parenterally administered at doses of from about 0.05 to about 50 mg of analog per kg of body weight.

    摘要: Methods that identify cells as pancreatic cancer cells based on assessing the expression of combinations of target molecules expressed preferentially on pancreatic cancer cells are disclosed. Combinations were initially discovered by microarray analysis and selected based upon tumor specificity, relative lack of cross-reactivity with normal tissues, and applicability as targets of multispecific ligands. The claimed methods encompass measuring the expression of three or more specific target molecules in combination and correlating positive expression of the combination with an identification of the cell as a pancreatic cancer cell.

    摘要: Cyclic lactam peptides, seven amino acids in length, having D-2'-naphthylalanine (D-2'-Nal) or D-para-iodo-phenylalanine D-(p-I)Phe at position 4 of the peptide provided potent and specific antagonists of the two neural melanocortin receptors and of the peripheral receptor. In particular, the peptide ##STR1## was found to be a potent antagonist of the MC3 and MC4 receptors with partial agonist activity, and a full agonist of the MC1 and MC5 receptors; the peptide ##STR2## was found to be a potent antagonist of the MC3 and MC4 receptors with partial agonist activity. Both peptides have antagonist activities in the classical frog skin bioassay for pigmentation at the MC1 receptor.
