Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of treating muscle myopathy, including muscle dystrophies and cardiomyopathies, by administering stable, long-lasting vasoactive intestinal peptide therapeutic agents. These agents include one or more clastin-like peptides and can be administered at a low-dose.

Abstract: Provided are compounds having metalloenzyme modulating activity, and methods of treating diseases, disorders or symptoms thereof mediated by such metalloenzymes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of treating diseases or disorders associated with CFTR protein dysfunction, including Cystic Fibrosis, by administering stable, long-lasting vasoactive intestinal peptide therapeutic agents. These agents include one or more elastin-like peptides and can be administered at a low-dose.

Abstract: Provided are compounds having metalloenzyme modulating activity, and methods of treating diseases, disorders or symptoms thereof mediated by such metalloenzymes.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that a VIP having a binding preference for VPAC2 can provide long-acting blood pressure control synergistically with concomitant anti-hypertensive therapies. Accordingly, methods and compositions useful for the treatment and/or amelioration of hypertension are provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides pharmaceutical formulations for sustained release, and methods for delivering a treatment regimen with a combination of sustained release and long half-life formulations. The pharmaceutical formulations comprise a therapeutic agent including an active agent and an amino acid sequence capable of forming a reversible matrix at the body temperature of a subject. The disclosure provides improved pharmacokinetics for peptide and small molecule drugs.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of treating muscle myopathy, including muscle dystrophies and cardiomyopathies, by administering stable, long-lasting vasoactive intestinal peptide therapeutic agents. These agents include one or more elastin-like peptides and can be administered at a low-dose.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical formulations for sustained release when administered at cold temperatures, and methods for delivering a treatment regimen with a combination of sustained release and long half-life formulations. The invention provides improved pharmacokinetics for peptide and small molecule drugs.

Abstract: The present invention provides modified Vasoactive Intestinal Peptides (VIPs), encoding polynucleotides and vectors, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. The invention further provides methods of making and using the modified VIP agents. In accordance with the invention the VIP exhibits an extended circulatory half-life, receptor-binding or biological potency, and/or altered receptor binding profile with respect to unmodified VIP.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for treating diabetes or obesity, as well as methods for inducing weight loss, preventing weight gain, or controlling weight in a patient in need thereof. The methods comprise administering to the patient at least one effective dose of a GLP-1 receptor agonist, or a regimen of GLP-1 receptor agonist comprising a plurality of substantially evenly spaced doses. The effective dose or regimen does not induce substantial nausea or appetite suppression in the patient.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical formulations for sustained release, and methods for delivering a treatment regimen with a combination of sustained release and long half-life formulations. The invention provides improved pharmacokinetics for peptide and small molecule drugs.

Abstract: Therapeutic compositions containing fusion proteins (FPs) including elastin-like peptides (ELPs) and peptide active therapeutic agents, and methods of making and using such compositions and fusion proteins. Therapeutic compositions of such type enable improved efficacy of the peptide active therapeutic agent to be achieved, in relation to the peptide active therapeutic agent alone. Enhanced efficacy of the peptide active therapeutic agent in the therapeutic composition may include improved solubility, bioavailability, bio-unavailability, half-life, etc., as compared to corresponding compositions containing the same peptide active therapeutic agent without associated ELPs.

Abstract: The present invention relates in part to agents which provide slow absorption from an injection site. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions comprises an insulin amino acid sequence and an amino acid sequence that provide slow absorption from an injection site, such as, for example, an amino acid sequence that has a substantially repeating pattern of proline residues.
