  • Patent number: 10487129
    Abstract: The present invention provides stably crosslinked insulinotropic polypeptides having superior and unexpected benefits in the treatment of conditions involving abnormal glucose homeostasis, e.g., type 2 diabetes and conditions relating to type 2 diabetes. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, extended polypeptide half-life, enhanced alpha-helicity, improved thermal stability and protease resistance, increased functional activity and pharmacologic properties, improved bioavailability when administered by any route, and improved bioavailability and gastrointestinal absorption when delivered orally, as compared to the corresponding unmodified polypeptides. The invention also provides compositions for administering the polypeptides of the invention, as well as methods for preparing and evaluating the polypeptides of the invention.

  • Patent number: 10273290
    Abstract: The invention provides structurally constrained viral peptides for use as therapeutic and vaccination agents, and for the production of antibodies for use in a number of applications including as therapeutic agents. The invention further provides methods and kits for use of the structurally constrained peptides and antibodies of the instant invention. The invention is based, at least in part, on the result provided herein demonstrating the viral hydrocarbon stapled helical peptides display excellent proteolytic, acid, and thermal stability, restore the native helical structure of the peptide, are highly effective in interfering with the viral fusogenic process, and possess superior pharmacokinetic properties compared to the corresponding unmodified peptides.
