Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel peptides having therapeutic utility. More specifically, the invention relates to peptide analogs of the naturally occurring peptide, growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF). The invention also relates to therapeutic compositions
- Growth hormone (GH or somatotropin) is a 191- amino acid peptide which is secreted by the anterior
- Growth hormone itself does not actually promote growth directly but acts by simulating the production of one of the many true growth factors such as the somatomedins produced by the liver. The ultimate effects of growth hormone are widespread however. On a gross level, this hormone affects the skeleton, connective tissue, muscles and viscera. On a molecular level, the metabolic effects of growth hormone and somatomedins include stimulation of nucleic acid and protein synthesis, induction of positive nitrogen balance, stimulation of lipolysis, and a decrease in urea excretion.
- hypothalamus and is transported to the pituitary by portal circulation.
- other cells of the body such as pancreatic tumor cells, may also produce this hormone.
- Growth hormone releasing factor in humans is a peptide 44 amino acids in length of which the first 29 contain the full biological activity. Similar peptides have also been isolated from cow, rat, sheep and pig, and their sequences identified (Esch et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.
- Certain peptide hormones i.e., those in which one face of the molecule has preferentially hydrophobic residues, while the other face contains a primarily hydrophilic domain, may have their activity enhanced by optimization of this amphiphilic character.
- GRF has been noted as having substantial amphiphilic potential, based on observations of its binding to single bilayer phospholipid vesicles, and formation of a monolayer at the air-water interface (Kaiser et al., Science
- the present invention relates to a group of novel peptides which are analogues of the native hormone GRF.
- the novel hormones are characterized by substitution of the Asn normally at the number 8 position in the native molecule with amino acids which are conducive to ⁇ -helix formation.
- the invention relates to peptides comprising the formula: R 1 - R 2 - R 3 - Ala - lle - Phe - R 7 - R 8 - R 9 -
- R 10 - Arg - R 12 - R 13 - R 14 - R 15 - Gln - R 17 - R 18 - Ala - Arg - R 21 - Leu - R 23 - R 24 - R 25 - R 26 - R 27 - R 28 - R 29
- R 1 is des-amino-Tyr, or A-R 1 , in which A is lower alkyl, lower cycloalkyl, benzyl or lower acyl and R 1 is Tyr,
- R 2 is Ala, D-Ala, D-NMA, or D-Arg;
- R 3 is Asp or D-Asp
- R 7 is Thr, Aib, NO 2 , Leu, Trp, ⁇ -Nal, or p-X-Phe, in which
- X H, F, Cl, Br, NO 2 , or Me;
- R 8 is Ala, Aib, Leu, Trp, ⁇ -Nal, or p-X-Phe, in which X is H, F, Cl, Br, NO 2 , or Me;

- the peptides may be administered orally in the form of tablets or capsules, which contain the appropriate binders, lubricants and the like.
- the amount of peptide needed per composition, and/or unit dosage can readily be determined by reference and comparison to known compositions and dosage forms currently in use for GRF peptides. In general terms, however, the dosage range will be between 50 ng - 5 ⁇ g/kg of body weight of the host. The dose will depend upon the mode of administration and the intended result. However, such manipulations are well within the ability of one skilled in the art.
