  • Publication number: 20180009869
    Abstract: The present invention provides fusion proteins comprising leptin and a second protein. The presence of the second protein provides increased biological activity and/or increased half-life in vivo. The present invention also provides human, canine and feline leptin molecules fused to peptides, antibodies or antibody fragments which enhances the abilities of the leptin molecules to transport through the blood-brain-barrier (BBB). The present invention also provides fusion proteins further comprising a peptide agonist that is capable of binding to and stimulate one, two or all three of the following receptors: GLP-1 receptor, Glucagon receptor, and GIP receptor. Also disclosed is a method of production such fusion proteins through recombinant technologies. The invention further discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising one of the fusion proteins as an active intergradient as well as a method for using such a pharmaceutical composition to treat diseases in dogs, cats and humans.

  • Publication number: 20160137712
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to heterodimeric fusion proteins comprising two polypeptides, the first polypeptide comprising a first peptide (P1), a linker (L1), and a Fc region (F1), the second polypeptide comprising a second peptide (P2), a linker (L2), and an Fc region (F2), wherein P1 and P2 are each independently selected from GLP-1, GLP-1 analogues, glucagon, glucacon analogues, GIP, GIP analogues, oxyntomodulin, oxyntomodulin analogues, exendin and exendin analogues; wherein F is selected from an IgG Fc, an IgA Fc, an IgE Fc, an IgGM Fc, and their analogues; wherein the C-terminals of the peptides are linked, though the Linker L, to the N-terminals of the Fc region F. In one embodiment, the fusion proteins disclosed herein have agonist activity against at least two of the GLP-1 receptor, the GIP receptor, and the glucagon receptor.
