Publication number: 20110124556Abstract: Peptide sequences capable of binding to insulin and/or insulin-like growth factor receptors with either agonist or antagonist activity and identified from various peptide libraries are disclosed. This invention also identifies at least two different binding sites, which are present on insulin and insulin-like growth factor receptors, and which selectively bind the peptides of this invention. As agonists, certain of the peptides of this invention may be useful for development as therapeutics to supplement or replace endogenous peptide hormones. The antagonists may also be developed as therapeutics.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2010Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicants: NOVO NORDISK A/S, ANTYRA INC.Inventors: RENUKA PILLUTLA, RENEE BRISSETTE, ARTHUR J. BLUME, LAUGE SCHAFFER, JAKOB BRANDT, NEIL I. GOLDSTEIN, JANE SPETZLER, SOREN OSTERGAARD, PER HERTZ HANSEN

Publication number: 20040072271Abstract: The invention relates to a general process by which recombinantly derived variable domains of antibodies encompassing either or both light and heavy variable regions with or without respective constant regions are engineered and selected for identification of unique surface domains of pharmaceutical targets or parts thereof which regulate target function. The recombinant antibodies are useful as reagents for high volume, rapid screening of occupation of the active surface domains by natural or synthetic entities. This invention is also directed to elucidating the three dimensional conformation of the antibodies, or parts thereof, which bind to the pharmaceutical targets and confers activity. Methods for creating high resolution molecular models which can direct the synthesis of biologically active small organic molecules useful as viable discovery drug leads are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2003Publication date: April 15, 2004Inventor: Arthur J.
