  • Publication number: 20100216715
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21), more in particular to derivatives of FGF21 compounds having an albumin binder of the formula A-B-C-D-E- covalently attached. The invention also relates to novel FGF21 analogues, as well as to the pharmaceutical use of these FGF21 derivatives and analogues, in particular for the treatment of diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, and/or Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). The derivatives of the invention are protracted, e.g. capable of maintaining a low blood glucose level for a longer period of time, capable of increasing the in vivo half-life of FGF21, and/or result in a lower clearance of FGF21. The derivatives of the invention are preferably furthermore of an improved oxidative stability.
