  • Patent number: 9067977
    Abstract: The invention relates to protracted peptide derivatives such as Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), exendin-4, and analogs thereof, as well as therapeutic uses thereof. The peptide derivative of the invention comprises a peptide wherein at least one amino acid residue is derivatized with A-B-C-, or A-B-C-D-. These compounds are useful in the treatment or prevention of diabetes type 2 and related diseases. The compounds are potent, have a low ratio of binding affinity to the GLP-1 receptor in the presence of high/low albumin concentrations, have long half-lives, and have a high affinity of binding to albumin, all of which is of potential relevance for the overall aim of achieving long-acting, stable and active GLP-1 derivatives with a potential for once weekly administration.

  • Publication number: 20150025003
    Abstract: The invention relates to protracted Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) derivatives and therapeutic uses thereof. The GLP-1 derivative of the invention comprises a modified GLP-1(7-37) sequence having a total of 2-12 amino acid modifications, including Glu22 and Arg26, and being derivatised with an albumin binding residue or pegylated in position 18, 20, 23, 30, 31, 34, 36, 37, or 39. These compounds are useful in the treatment or prevention of diabetes type 2 and related diseases. The compounds are potent, stable, have long half-lives, a high affinity of binding to albumin, and/or a high affinity of binding to the extracellular domain of the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R), all of which is of potential relevance for the overall aim of achieving long-acting, stable and active GLP-1 derivatives with a potential for once weekly administration.
