Embodiments of the invention provide shaped masses comprising one or more drugs such as proteins or polypeptides and methods for forming such shaped masses. One embodiment provides a shaped mass comprising a drug such as a protein or polypeptide having a biological activity in the body of a mammal. The shaped mass is formed by compression of a precursor material comprising the drug wherein an amount of biologically active drug in the mass is a preserved above a minimum level. Drugs which may be incorporated into the shaped mass may include one or more glucose regulating proteins such as insulin, incretins; and immunoglobulins such as TNF-inhibiting antibodies or interleukin neutralizing antibodies. Embodiments of the shaped mass may be incorporated into a tissue penetrating member which is inserted into the intestinal wall allowing for the oral delivery of proteins and peptides which would otherwise be degraded in the intestinal tract.

The present invention relates to dual incretin peptide mimetic compounds that agonize receptors for both human glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and may be useful for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).

The present invention relates to drug fusions and conjugates that have improved serum half lives. These fusions and conjugates comprise immunoglobulin (antibody) single variable domains and insulinotropic and/or incretin and/or gut peptide molecules. The invention further relates to uses, formulations, compositions and devices comprising such drug fusions and conjugates. The invention also relates to compositions which comprise more than one insulinotropic and/or incretin and/or gut peptide molecules present as part of a fusion or conjugate and to uses and formulations thereof.

Embodiments of the invention provide shaped masses (SM) comprising one or more drugs such as proteins or polypeptides and methods for forming and delivering such SM's. One embodiment provides a SM comprising a drug e.g., a protein or polypeptide having a biological activity in the body of a mammal. The SM is formed by compression of a precursor material (PM) comprising the drug wherein an amount of biologically active drug in the SM is a minimum level to that in the PM. Drugs which may be incorporated into the SM include insulin, incretins and immunoglobulins e.g., interleukin neutralizing antibodies or TNF-α-inhibiting antibodies. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful for the oral delivery of drugs which would be degraded within the GI tract, wherein the SM containing the drug is formed as or incorporated into a tissue penetrating member which is inserted into the intestinal wall after oral ingestion.

Compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of nephropathy, including hypertensive and diabetic nephropathy, and nephropathy associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome are described. Compositions of the invention include a compound that binds to a receptor for the glucagon like peptide-1, an incretin, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an exendin, or an analog (including an agonist analog), derivative, or variant of any of them.

A transdermal patch formulation of a viscous liquid that includes an active agent of incretin or incretin mimetic peptide, a stabilizer, a buffer, a water soluble thickening agent, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also, a patch adapted for transdermal delivery of the active agent and having a drug reservoir compartment of the transdermal patch formulation and a system for facilitating transdermal delivery of the active agent through the skin of a subject. The system includes the patch and an apparatus capable of generating a plurality of micro-channels in an area on the subject's skin. The patch and apparatus are used in methods of treatment for reducing blood glucose level, lowering plasma glucagon levels, reducing food intake, or reducing gastric motility in a subject in need of the same by extending the release of the incretin or incretin mimetic peptide in the subject.

The invention relates to the area of medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and medicine and includes description of pharmaceutical compositions and combined medicaments on the base of secretion stimulators and protectors of incretin hormones for treatment of metabolic diseases (among them, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome and the like). The invention consists in that that pharmaceutical composition or combined medicament comprises a derivative of tetrahydrobenzo[f][1,4]oxazepine—either nonsteroidal agonist of bile aids receptor TGR5, or one of endogenous bile acids which stimulate incretin hormones secretion, and also one of the known inhibitors of DPP-IV proteinase. In this case administration of TGR5 agonists is carried out peroral, and administration of endogenous bile acids is exercised rectal in the form of suppository or gel. As proteinase DPP-IV inhibitors could be used Vildagliptin, Saxagliptin, Sitagliptin, Teneligliptin, Linagliptin, Dutogliptin, Alogliptin, Gemigliptin, Carmegliptin and the like. Besides, the invention includes description of novel tetrahydrobenzo[f][1,4]oxazepine derivatives—nonsteroidal agonist of bile aids receptors TGR5, and also methods for their preparation. The invention provides enhancement of therapy effectiveness owing to synergetic action of the components, thus making possible simultaneous treatment of diabetes, and obesity, other metabolic diseases and their cardiovascular and renal complications.

Drug fusions and conjugates that contain an incretin therapeutic or diagnostic agent that is fused or conjugated to an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody that binds serum albumin. The conjugates and fusion have a longer in vivo half life in comparison with the unconjugated or unfused therapeutic or diagnostic agent.

A health-care hyphglycemic beverage is prepared from 10 Chinese-medicinal materials including astragalus root, yam, wolfberry fruit, pollen, etc through drying, pulverizing and treating with purified water.

The invention provides an incretin-associated medicine capable of restraining secretion of GIP completely and promoting secretion of GLP-1 and highly safe. The medicine capable of promoting the secretion of GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and restraining the secretion of the GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide) comprises non-antagonistic inhibitor of clastic enzyme of cane sugar, such as L-gum sugar, D-wood sugar and D-tagatose, as an active ingredient.

A new method for improvement of functions of diabetes islet beta cells is provided by combination of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and incretin, and the new method is as follows: on the basis of application of the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of type-1 and type-2 diabetes, the incretin (GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist and DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitor) is combined. The new method can promote islet beta cell proliferation and regeneration, improve the functions of the islet beta cells, reduce blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin, reduce islet alpha hyperplasia and inhibit glucagon secretion, and thus playing a synergy effect.

The present invention relates to the GPR119 agonist, 1-methylcyclopropyl 4-(5-fluoro-6-(2-methyl-6-(methylsulfonyl)pyridin-3-yloxy)pyrimidin-4-yloxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate (Compound 1): and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof, that are useful as single pharmaceutical agents or in combination with one or more additional pharmaceutical agents, such as, a DPP-IV inhibitor, a biguanide, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, an insulin analogue, a sulfonylurea, an SGLT2 inhibitor, a meglitinide, a thiazolidinedione, or an anti-diabetic peptide analogue, in the treatment of for example, a disorder selected from: a GPR119-receptor-related disorder; a condition ameliorated by increasing the secretion of an incretin; a condition ameliorated by increasing a blood incretin level; a condition characterized by low bone mass; a neurological disorder; a metabolic-related disorder; type 2 diabetes; obesity; and complications related thereto.
