The invention relates to the field of medicaments, in particular to an integrin blocking agent HM-3 which has the function of inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, integrin affinity and a bonding capacity and application thereof. The blocking agent is a polypeptide modified with polyethylene glycol, and the modified integrin blocking agent polypeptide can be applied to treatment of solid tumors. During application of the integrin blocking agent to preparation of a tumor treatment medicament, the sequence and structure of the integrin blocking agent is mPEG-SC20k-Ile-Val-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-Arg-Ala-Ala-Val-Pro-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp. The integrin blocking agent polypeptide designed in the invention is scientific, reasonable, practical and effective, can be used for preparing a treatment medicament for treating human solid tumors, and has remarkable social value and market value; and the treatment spectrum of the integrin blocking agent is expanded greatly, and novel thought and prospect are provided for future development of medicaments.

The invention provides a compound of formula (I): X-PYY* (3-36) (I) wherein X is selected from H, PYY1-2 (ie Tyr Pro) and D-Allo-Ue; PYY*(3-36) representing PYY (3-36) in which one or more residues is replaced by an acylated lysine group, the acyl group being selected from: CO—C1-20 alkyl, CO—C2-20 alkenyl, CO—C5-10 aryl and CO—C5-10 ar-C1-20 alkyl; a variant or derivative thereof; or a salt or solvate thereof. The compounds are effective in inducing satiety and suppressing appetite and they are thus useful in treating various diseases, including obesity.

Novel biologically active compounds of the general formula (I) in which one of X and X′ represents a polymer, and the other represents a hydrogen atom; each Q independently represents a linking group; W represents an electron-withdrawing moiety or a moiety preparable by reduction of an electron-withdrawing moiety; or, if X′ represents a polymer, X-Q-W— together may represent an electron withdrawing group; and in addition, if X represents a polymer, X′ and electron withdrawing group W together with the interjacent atoms may form a ring; each of Z1 and Z2 independently represents a group derived from a biological molecule, each of which is linked to A and B via a nucleophilic moiety; or Z1 and Z2 together represent a single group derived from a biological molecule which is linked to A and B via two nucleophilic moieties; A is a C1-5 alkylene or alkenylene chain; and B is a bond or a C1-4 alkylene or alkenylene chain; are formed by conjugating a suitable polymer to a suitable biologically active molecule via nucleophilic groups in said molecule, preferably via a disulphide bridge.

The present invention relates to an isotopologue of Compound 1 substituted with deuterium at the methylene carbon of the benzodioxol ring. The isotopologues of this invention selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and possess unique biopharmaceutical and metabolic properties compared to Compound 1. They may also be used to accurately determine the concentration of Compound 1 in biological fluids and to determine metabolic patterns of Compound 1 and its isotopologues. The invention further provides compositions comprising these deuterated isotopologues and methods of treating diseases and conditions that are responsive to increased neuronal serotonin transmission, alone and in combination with additional agents.
