Abstract: The invention relates to truncated GLP-1 analogs, in particular a GLP-1 analog which is a modified GLP-1(7-35) (SEQ ID No 1) having: i) a total of 2, 3, 4, 5 6, 7, 8, or 9 amino acid substitutions as compared to GLP-1(7-35), including a) a Glu residue at a position equivalent to position 22 of GLP-1(7-35), and b) an Arg residue at a position equivalent to position 26 of GLP-1(7-35); as well as derivatives thereof, and therapeutic uses and compositions. These analogs and derivatives are highly potent, have a good binding affinity to the GLP-1 receptor, also to the extracellular domain of the GLP-1 receptor, which is of potential relevance achieving long-acting, stable GLP-1 compounds with a potential for once weekly administration.

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.
