[0002] The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing motilin-like peptides. More specifically, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing motilin-like peptides that remain stable and retain their potency and binding affinity after prolonged storage. Background of the invention
[0003] Motilin peptide is a linear polypeptide hormone of the gastrointestinal tract that stimulates the motility activity of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract. Motilin enhances gastric motility by modulating interdigestive myoelectric complexes. Administration of motilin to human patients accelerates their intestinal transit and enhances gastric emptying [Christofides et al., Gastroenterology 76, 903-907 (1979)]. In vitro ...
