  • Patent number: 9060991
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peptide analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36), which is useful to prophylactically prevent, improve, or reverse the diminished cognitive function associated with these types of disorders, by increasing (or sustaining) the LTP of synaptic transmission. Moreover, sustaining LTP may find utility in the prophylaxis of neurological disease by delaying the onset of impaired cognitive processes, and could serve as a treatment, not only for the diminished cognitive function caused by neurodegeneration, but also for the dysfunctional cognitive processes associated with trauma or age.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9062125
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peptide comprising at least 12 amino acid residues from the N-terminal end of gastric inhibitory polypeptide, or an analog thereof, which are useful to prophylactically prevent, improve, or reverse the diminished cognitive function associated with these types of disorders, by increasing (or sustaining) the LTP of synaptic transmission. Moreover, sustaining LTP may find utility in the prophylaxis of neurological disease by delaying the onset of impaired cognitive processes, and could serve as a treatment, not only for the diminished cognitive function caused by neurodegeneration, but also for the dysfunctional cognitive processes associated with trauma or age. Additionally, the peptides and analogs of the present invention find are useful to improve the altered cognitive function associated with hyperexcitability-type disorders, by reducing the elevated level of LTP of synaptic transmission.

  • Publication number: 20150025002
    Abstract: The invention relates to peptides and peptide derivatives based on the naturally occurring peptide xenin. The invention provides a peptide of SEQ ID No. 1 or an analogue thereof which is able to stimulate insulin secretion and which has no more than 7 amino acid substitutions or deletions as compared to the native sequence, the peptide having one or more lysine residues substituted with a lipophilic substituent of 840 carbon atoms, optionally via a spacer. The present invention also provides a peptide of SEQ ID No. 1 or an analogue thereof which is able to stimulate insulin secretion and which has no more than 7 amino acid substitutions or deletions as compared to the native sequence and in which one or more of Lys4, Lys8, Arg11, Lys13, Phe17, Lys20, or Arg21 have been replaced with another amino acid which increases resistance of the peptide to enzymatic degradation. Further provided are molecules and formulations comprising these peptides and therapeutic uses of these peptides.
