  • Patent number: 9492508
    Abstract: Disclosed are two PTH analog ligands, SP-PTH-AAK and Aib-SP-PTH-AAK, that have long-acting activity at the PTH receptor, as demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. These polypeptides are thus particularly useful in the treatment of diseases, such as hypoparathyroidism, in which long-acting activity is desired. The method of making the analog polypeptides is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9057727
    Abstract: The present invention provides screening methods for GPCRs based on the discovery that the affinity of a receptor agonist for a GPCR (such as the parathyroid hormone receptor) when not bound to a G-protein is correlated with the length of time over which the agonist is effective, independently of its pharmacokinetic properties. The invention also provides PTH- and PTHrP-derived polypeptides.

  • Patent number: 8603977
    Abstract: The present invention relates to conformationally constrained parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogs, and methods of preparing and using the PTH analogs. The invention provides novel PTH polypeptide derivatives containing amino acid substitutions at selected positions in the polypeptides. The invention provides derivatives of PTH(1-34), PTH(1-21), PTH(1-20), PTH(1-19), PTH(1-18), PTH(1-17), PTH(1-16), PTH(1-15), PTH(1-14), PTH(1-13), PTH(1-12), PTH(1-11), and PTH(1-10) polypeptides, wherein at least one residue in each polypeptide is a helix, preferably an ?-helix, stabilizing residue. The invention also provides methods of making such peptides. Further, the invention encompasses compositions and methods for use in limiting undesired bone loss in a vertebrate at risk of such bone loss, in treating conditions that are characterized by undesired bone loss or by the need for bone growth, e.g., in treating fractures or cartilage disorders and for raising cAMP levels in cells where deemed necessary.
