In particular, the invention provides novel glucagon analogue peptides effective in such methods. The peptides may mediate their effect by having increased selectivity for the GLP-1 receptor as compared to human glucagon. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110286981 | GLUCAGON ANALOGUES - The invention provides materials and methods for promoting weight loss or preventing weight gain, and in the treatment of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and associated disorders. In particular, the invention provides novel glucagon analogue peptides effective in such methods. The peptides may mediate their effect by having increased selectivity for the GLP-1 receptor as compared to human glucagon. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110152186 | GLUCAGON-LIKE-PEPTIDE-2 (GLP-2) ANALOGUES - GLP-2 analogues are disclosed which comprise one of more substitutions as compared to [hGly2]GLP-2 and which improved biological activity in vivo and/or improved chemical stability, e.g., as assessed in in vitro stability assays. More particularly, preferred GLP-2 analogues disclosed herein comprise substitutions at one or more of positions 8, 16, 24 and/or 28 of the wild-type GLP-2 sequence, optionally in combination with further substitutions at position 2 (as mentioned in the introduction) and one or more of positions 3, 5, 7, 10 and 11, and/or a deletion of one or more of amino acids 31 to 33 and/or the addition of a N-terminal or C-terminal stabilizing peptide sequence. The analogues are particularly useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of stomach and bowel-related disorders and for ameliorating side effects of chemotherapy. Also disclosed are methods and kits for selecting a patient from populations suited for treatment with GLP-2 analogues. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110098222 | GLUCAGON-LIKE-PEPTIDE-2 (GLP-2) ANALOGUES - GLP-2 analogues are disclosed which comprise one of more substitutions as compared to [hGly2]GLP-2 and which improved biological activity in vivo and/or improved chemical stability, e.g., as assessed in in vitro stability assays. More particularly, preferred GLP-2 analogues disclosed herein comprise substitutions at one or more of positions 8, 16, 24 and/or 28 of the wild-type GLP-2 sequence, optionally in combination with further substitutions at position 2 (as mentioned in the introduction) and one or more of positions 3, 5, 7, 10 and 11, and/or a deletion of one or more of amino acids 31 to 33 and/or the addition of a N-terminal or C-terminal stabilizing peptide sequence.

| 20100204105 | GLUCAGON ANALOGUES - The invention provides materials and methods for promoting weight loss or preventing weight gain in a subject. In particular, the invention provides novel glucagon analogue peptides effective in such methods and in the treatment of obesity, eating disorders, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic liver steatosis. The peptides may mediate their effect by having increased selectivity for the GLP-1 receptor as compared to human glucagon. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100048462 | TRUNCATED PTH PEPTIDES WITH A CYCLIC CONFORMATION - The present invention provides PTH peptides which are cyclised substitution analogues of the truncated PTH fragment PTH (1-17) and which preferably retain the desired or similar biological activity of human PTH (1-34). | 02-25-2010 |

| 20090088369 | GLP-1 AND METHODS FOR TREATING DIABETES - The present invention relates to use of GLP-1 or a related molecule having a GLP-effect for the manufacture of a medicament for preventing or treating diabetes in a mammal. The amount and timing of administration of said medicament are subsequently reduced to produce a “drug holiday.” Practice of the invention achieves effective therapy without continuous drug exposure and without continuous presence of therapeutic levels of the drug. The invention also discloses a method of treating diabetes and related disorders in a mammal by administering glucagon like peptide (GLP-1) or a related molecule having GLP-1 like effect and thereby providing a therapeutically effective amount of endogenous insulin. | 04-02-2009 |
