69 results about "Oxyntomodulin" patented technology

Modified oxyntomodulin derivatives. Such derivatives can be used for the treatment of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity.

Disclosed are an albumin-free liquid formulation including a long-lasting oxyntomodulin conjugate in which an oxyntomodulin peptide comprising a derivative, variant, precursor or fragment of oxyntomodulin is linked to an immunoglobulin Fc region, which can increase the duration of physiological activity of the long-lasting oxyntomodulin conjugate and maintain the in vivo stability thereof for an extended period of time, as compared to native oxyntomodulin, and a method for preparing the liquid formulation. The liquid formulation contains a buffer, a sugar alcohol and a nonionic surfactant and does not contain a human serum albumin and factors that are potentially harmful to the human body, and thus is not susceptible to viral infection. The oxyntomodulin conjugate contains oxyntomodulin linked to an immunoglobulin Fc region, and thus has a large molecular weight, prolonged physiological activity, and excellent storage stability, compared to native oxyntomodulin.

Compounds that bind the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor, methods of their synthesis, methods of their therapeutic and / or prophylactic use, and methods of their use in stabilizing GLP-1 receptor in vitro for crystallization of the GLP-1 receptor are provided. Certain compounds may have activity as modulators or potentiators with respect to glucagon receptor, GIP receptor, GLP-1 and GLP-2 receptors, and PTH receptor on their own or in the presence of receptor ligands such as GIP(1-42), PTH(1-34), Glucagon(1-29), GLP-2(1-33), GLP-1(7-36), GLP-1(9-36), oxyntomodulin and exendin variants.

The present invention relates to a conjugate comprising oxyntomodulin, an immunoglobulin Fc region, and non-peptidyl polymer wherein the conjugate being obtainable by covalently linking oxyntomodulin to immunoglobulin Fc region via non-peptidyl polymer, and a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of obesity comprising the conjugates. The conjugate comprising oxyntomodulin and the immunoglobulin Fc of the present invention reduces food intake, suppresses gastric emptying, and facilitates lipolysis without side-effects, unlike native oxyntomodulin, and also shows excellent receptor-activating effects and long-term sustainability, compared to native oxyntomodulin. Thus, it can be widely used in the treatment of obesity with safety and efficacy.
