Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to compositions comprising modified polypeptide sequences with greater resistance to degradation and equivalent and/or increased bioactivity as compared to naturally encoded, unmodified polypeptide sequences, and to methods of making the compositions and methods of using the compositions as pharmaceutically active agents to treat disease in animals, including humans.
  • the secretin family is a family of well-conserved animal proteins with a variety of biological functions. Biologically active members of the secretin family are generally from about 26 to about 65 amino acids in length and are thought to have relatively simple alpha-helical secondary structures. Many members are originally produced in vivo as larger pro-peptides, which are eventually converted in the active forms. Members of the secretin family include the following proteins: GHRF, GIP, GLP-1, Glucagon, PACAP-27, PACAP-38, PHM, PrP, and secretin.
  • the q25 region of chromosome 6 on the human genome encodes another secretin family member that is 170 amino acids long which becomes post-translationally cleaved to form vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP).
  • VIP vasoactive intestinal peptide
  • the active form of the VIP polypeptide is a 28 amino acid protein that functions, among other ways, to reduce arterial blood pressure, to increase vasodilation of blood vessel walls, to relax smooth muscle in the respiratory system and gastrointestinal tissues, reduce inflammatory responses through both promotion of Th2 differentiation as well as the reduction of Th1 responses, modulate both the innate and adaptive immune response, and to stimulate secretion of electrolytes in the gut.
  • VIP has also been shown to be active in the central nervous system as a neurotransmitter and in communication with lymphocytes. Bioactivity of VIP is transmuted through three known receptor subtypes: VIP 1 R, VIP 2 R, and PAC 1 R. These receptors are known to induce cAMP concentration as well as stimulate the production of intracellular calcium. Their affinities for secretins such as VIP vary depending upon the subtype and the amino acid sequence of the ligand.
  • Secretin family members have short half-lives. For instance, VIP has a half-life of about two minutes in the blood stream. It is desirable to identify polypeptides that mimic the function of secretins such as VIP, but have increased half-life and equivalent or more bioactivity than the naturally occurring VIP amino acid sequence. It is also desirable to identify another peptidomimetic of VIP to have association to one receptor subtype over another secretin receptor.
  • HDL cholesterol level is inversely related to the incidence of coronary heart disease and recently received increasing attention as a novel target in lipid management of treating atherosclerotic vascular disease.
  • Direct vascular protective effects of HDL have been attributed to apolipoprotein (apo) A-I or apoA-I-associated molecules in HDL using direct intravenous injections of homologous HDL, 3 recombinant mutant apoA-Imilano or apoA-I gene therapy, or use of transgenic animals overexpressing apoA-I or apoAI-related molecules such as paraoxonase.
  • a recent phase II randomized trial showed that 5 weekly intravenous injections of recombinant apoA-1milano induced rapid regression of coronary atherosclerotic lesions in humans. It is desirable to identify polypeptides that mimic the function of apoA-1 such as paraoxonase, but have increased half-life and equivalent or more bioactivity than the naturally occurring paraoxonase amino acid sequence. It is also desirable to identify another peptidomimetic of apoA-1 to have association to a natural ligand for apoA-1 as compared to wild-type sequences.
  • Cytokines mediate cellular activities in a number of ways. Cytokines support the proliferation, growth, and differentiation of pluripotential hematopoietic stem cells into vast numbers of progenitors comprising diverse cellular lineages making up a complex immune system. Proper and balanced interactions between the cellular components are necessary for a healthy immune response. The different cellular lineages often respond in a different manner when cytokines are administered in conjunction with other agents.
  • Cytokines mediate communication between cells of the immune system, e.g., antigen presenting cells (APCs) and T lymphocytes.
  • DRCs antigen presenting cells
  • DCs Dendritic cells
  • Antigen presentation refers to the cellular events in which a proteinaceous antigen is taken up, processed by antigen presenting cells (APC), and then recognized to initiate an immune response.
  • the most active antigen presenting cells have been characterized as the macrophages (which are direct developmental products from monocytes), dendritic cells, and certain B cells.
  • DCs are highly responsive to inflammatory stimuli such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha).
  • LPS bacterial lipopolysaccharides
  • TNFalpha tumor necrosis factor alpha
  • Cytokines or stimuli, such as LPS can induce a series of phenotypic and functional changes in DC that are collectively referred to as maturation. See, e.g., Banchereau and Schmitt (eds.) (1995) Dendritic Cells in Fundamental and Clinical Immunoloy, Plenum Press, NY.
  • polypeptides that mimic the function of cytokine families such as IL-10, IL-2, IL-4, IL-12, and IL-17, but have increased half-life and equivalent or more bioactivity than the naturally occurring IL-10, IL-2, IL-4, IL-12, and IL-17 representative amino acid sequences. It is also desirable to identify another peptidomimetic of a cytokine such as IL-17 to have association to a natural receptor for IL-17 as compared to wild-type sequences.
  • Chemists have long sought to extrapolate the power of biological catalysis and recognition to synthetic systems. These efforts have focused largely on low-molecular weight catalysts and receptors. Most biological systems, however, rely almost exclusively on large polymers such as proteins and RNA to perform complex biochemical and/or biological functions. There is a long-felt need to identify synthetic polymers of amino acids which display discrete and predictable folding propensities to mimic natural biological systems. Such polypeptides are designed to provide a molecular equivalent or improved functionality as compared to naturally occurring protein-protein interactions specifically because of their ability to mimic natural interactions in addition to their resistance to natural degradative enzymes in a subject.

  • Selected side chains of the amino acids increase the conformational rigidity of the polypeptide in order to constrain the polypeptide in its active state.

  • the hormones regulating insulin secretion belong to the so-called enteroinsular axis, designating a group of hormones released from the gastrointestinal mucosa in response to the presence and absorption of nutrients in the gut, which promote an early and potentiated release of insulin.
  • the enhancing effect on insulin secretion, the so-called incretin effect is probably essential for a normal glucose tolerance.
  • Many of the gastrointestinal hormones, including gastrin and secretin (cholecystokinin is not insulinotropic in man), are insulinotropic, but the only physiologically important ones, those that are responsible for the incretin effect, are the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, GIP, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
  • GIP is composed of 42 amino acids, processed from a 153 amino acid precursor (Takeda et al., PNAS USA (1987) 84:7005-7008). GIP is secreted by K cells present in the duodenum and in the small intestinal mucosa in response to carbohydrate and lipid containing meals (Mortensen et al. Ann. NY Acad. Sci. (2000) 921:469-472). Expression of the GIP receptor has been shown in pancreatic islets, the adrenal cortex, gut, heart, adipose tissue, several regions of the brain, and the pituitary gland (Usdin et al. (1993) Endocrinology 133:2861-2870).

  • GLP-1 a product of the proglucagon gene (Bell G I, et al., Nature 1983; 304: 368-371), is one of the members of the secretin-VIP family of peptides, and is established as an important gut hormone with regulatory function in glucose metabolism and gastrointestinal secretion and metabolism (Hoist J J., 1994; Gastroenterology. 1994 December; 107(6):1848-55).
  • the glucagon gene is processed differently in the pancreas and in the intestine.
  • Glucagon seems to be the only biologically active product. In contrast, in the intestinal mucosa, it is glucagon that is buried in a larger molecule, while the two glucagon-like peptides are formed separately (O'rskov C, et al., Endocrinology 1986; 119:1467-1475). The following products are formed and secreted in parallel: 1) glicentin, corresponding to PG (1-69), with the glucagon sequence occupying residues Nos. 33-61 (Thim L, et al., Regul Pept 1981; 2:139-151); 2) GLP-1(7-36)amide (PG (78-107))amide (O'rskov C, et al., J. Biol.
  • glicentin A fraction of glicentin is cleaved further into GRPP (PG (1-30)) and oxyntomodulin (PG (33-69)) (Hoist J J. Biochem J. 1980; 187:337-343; Bataille D, et al., FEBS Lett 1982; 146:79-86).
  • Carbohydrate or fat-rich meals stimulate secretion (Elliott R M, et al., J Endocrinol 1993; 138: 159-166), presumably as a result of direct interaction of yet unabsorbed nutrients with the microvilli of the open-type L-cells of the gut mucosa.
  • GLP-1(29-31) The incretin function of GLP-1(29-31) has been clearly illustrated in experiments with the GLP-1 receptor antagonist, exendin 9-39, which dramatically reduces the incretin effect elicited by oral glucose in rats (Kolligs F, et al., Diabetes 1995 44: 16-19; Wang Z, et al., J. Clin. Invest. 1995 95: 417-421).
  • the hormone interacts directly with the ⁇ -cells via the GLP-1 receptor (Thorens B., Proc Natl Acad Sci 1992; 89:8641-4645, U.S. Pat. Nos.
  • the signal transduction mechanism (Fehmann H C, et al., Endocrine Reviews, 1995; 16: 390-410) primarily involves activation of adenylate cyclase, but elevations of intracellular Ca 2+ are also essential (Fehmann H C, et al., Endocrine Reviews, 1995; 16: 390-410; Gromada J, et al., Diabetes 1995; 44: 767-774).
  • a model of GLP-1 receptor-ligand interaction is shown in Lopez de Maturana, R. et al. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 10195-10200.

  • the N-terminal regions of exendin-4 and GLP-1 interact with the extracellular loops and/or the transmembrane regions of the GLP-1R.
  • the N-terminal domain of the receptor interacts with the Trp-cage portion of the exendin-4 and exendin (9-39).
  • the action of the hormone is best described as a potentiation of glucose stimulated insulin release (Fehmann H C, et al., Endocrine Reviews, 1995; 16: 390-410), but the mechanism that couples glucose and GLP-1 stimulation is not known. It may involve a calcium-induced calcium release (Gromada J, et al., Diabetes 1995; 44: 767-774; Holz G G. et al., J Biol Chem, 1996; 270: 17749-17759). As already mentioned, the insulinotropic action of GLP-1 is preserved in diabetic P-cells.
  • GLP-1 is involved in increasing beta-cell mass as well as regulating beta-cell differentiation, beta-cell proliferation and beta-cell survival (Stoffers D A, Horm Metab Res. 2004 November-December; 36(11-12):811-21), and has a role in increasing proinsulin gene transcription and biosynthesis.
  • GLP-1 has powerful actions on the gastrointestinal tract. Infused in physiological amounts, GLP-1 potently inhibits pentagastrin-induced as well as meal-induced gastric acid secretion (Schjoldager B T G, et al., Dig. Dis. Sci. 1989; 35:703-708; Wettergren A, et al., Dig Dis Sci 1993; 38:665-673). It also inhibits gastric emptying rate and pancreatic enzyme secretion (Wettergren A., et al., Dig Dis Sci 1993; 38:665-673).
  • GLP-1 influences gastric emptying rate at infusion rates at least as low as those required to influence islet secretion (Nauck M, et al., Gut 1995; 37 (suppl. 2): A124).
  • GLP-1 seems to have an effect on food intake. Intraventricular administration of GLP-1 profoundly inhibits food intake in rats (Schick R R, vorm Walde T, Zimmermann J P, Schusdziarra V, Classen M. Glucagon-like peptide 1—a novel brain peptide involved in feeding regulation. in Ditschuneit H, Gries F A, Hauner H, Schusdziarra V, Wechsler J G (eds.) Obesity in Europe. John Libbey & Company Ltd., 1994; pp. 363-367; 42). This effect seems to be highly specific.
  • N-terminally extended GLP-1 (PG 72-107) amide is inactive and appropriate doses of the GLP-1 antagonist, exendin 9-39, abolish the effects of GLP-1.
  • Acute, peripheral administration of GLP-1 does not inhibit food intake acutely in rats (Turton M D, et al., Nature 1996; 379: 69-72).
  • GLP-1 secreted from the intestinal L-cells may also act as a satiety signal.
  • the peptide is fully active after subcutaneous administration (Ritzel R, et al., Diabetologia 1995; 38: 720-725), but is rapidly degraded mainly due to degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV-like enzymes (Deacon C F, et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1995; 80: 952-957; Deacon C F, et al., Diabetes 44: 1126-1131).
  • GLP-1 The amino acid sequence of GLP-1 is disclosed in Schmidt et al. (Diabetologia 28 704-707 (1985).
  • Human GLP-1 is a 30-31 amino acid residue peptide originating from preproglucagon which is synthesized, i.a. in the L-cells in the distal ileum, in the pancreas and in the brain. Processing of preproglucagon to GLP-1(7-36)amide, GLP-1(7-37) and GLP-2 occurs mainly in the L-cells.
  • GLP-1(7-37) and analogues thereof have attracted much attention in recent years only little is known about the structure of these molecules.
  • GLP-1 in micelles has been described by Thorton et al. (Biochemistry 33: 3532-3539 (1994)), but in normal solution, GLP-1 is considered a very flexible molecule.

  • the human hormone glucagon is a 29-amino acid peptide hormone produced in the A-cells of the pancreas.
  • the hormone belongs to a multi-gene family of structurally related peptides that include secretin, gastric inhibitory peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide and glicentin. These peptides variously regulate carbohydrate metabolism, gastrointestinal mobility and secretory processing.
  • the principal recognized actions of pancreatic glucagon are to promote hepatic glycogenolysis and glyconeogenesis, resulting in an elevation of blood sugar levels.
  • the actions of glucagon are counter regulatory to those of insulin and may contribute to the hyperglycemia that accompanies Diabetes mellitus ⁇ (Lund, P. K., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 79:345-349 (1982) ⁇ .
  • Glucagon has been found to be capable of binding to specific receptors which lie on the surface of insulin producing cells. Glucagon, when bound to these receptors, stimulates the rapid synthesis of cAMP by these cells. cAMP, in turn, has been found to stimulate insulin expression ⁇ Korman, L.

  • Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a 33 amino acid peptide expressed in a tissue-specific manner from the pleiotropic glucagon gene. GLP-2 shows remarkable homology in terms of amino acid sequence to glucagon and Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Further, different mammalian forms of GLP-2 are highly conserved.
  • the sequence of human GLP-2 is as follows: His-Ala-Asp-Gly-Ser-Phe-Ser-Asp-Glu-Met-Asn-Thr-Ile-Leu-Asp-Asn-Leu-Ala-A-la-Arg-Asp-Phe-Ile-Asn-Trp-Leu-Ile-Gln-Thr-Lys-Ile-Thr-Asp.

  • GLP-2 is an intestinotrophic peptide hormone (Drucker et al., (1996) PNAS, 93:7911-7916).
  • GLP-2 can produce a marked increase in the proliferation of small intestinal epithelium of the test mice, apparently with no undesirable side effects.
  • peptide analogs of native GLP-2 with certain modifications to the peptide sequence possess enhanced intestinotrophic activity (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/669,791).
  • GLP-2 has also been shown to increase D-Glucose maximal transport rate across the intestinal basolateral membrane (Cheeseman and Tseng (1996) American Journal of Physiology 271:G477-G482).
  • GLP-2 receptor agonists act to enhance functioning of the large intestine. (U.S. Pat. No. 6,297,214). GLP-2 and peptidic agonists of GLP-2 can cause proliferation of the tissue of large intestine. GLP-2 may also be useful to treat or prevent inflammatory conditions of the large intestine, including inflammatory bowel diseases (U.S. Pat. No. 6,586,399).

  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention relates generally to compositions comprising modified polypeptide sequences with greater resistance to degradation and equivalent and/or increased bioactivity as compared to naturally encoded, unmodified polypeptide sequences, and to methods of making the compositions and methods of using the compositions as pharmaceutically active agents to treat disease in animals, including humans.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The secretin family is a family of well-conserved animal proteins with a variety of biological functions. Biologically active members of the secretin family are generally from about 26 to about 65 amino acids in length and are thought to have relatively simple alpha-helical secondary structures. Many members are originally produced in vivo as larger pro-peptides, which are eventually converted in the active forms. Members of the secretin family include the following proteins: GHRF, GIP, GLP-1, Glucagon, PACAP-27, PACAP-38, PHM, PrP, and secretin. The q25 region of chromosome 6 on the human genome encodes another secretin family member that is 170 amino acids long which becomes post-translationally cleaved to form vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). The active form of the VIP polypeptide is a 28 amino acid protein that functions, among other ways, to reduce arterial blood pressure, to increase vasodilation of blood vessel walls, to relax smooth muscle in the respiratory system and gastrointestinal tissues, reduce inflammatory responses through both promotion of Th2 differentiation as well as the reduction of Th1 responses, modulate both the innate and adaptive immune response, and to stimulate secretion of electrolytes in the gut. VIP has also been shown to be active in the central nervous system as a neurotransmitter and in communication with lymphocytes. Bioactivity of VIP is transmuted through three known receptor subtypes: VIP1R, VIP2R, and PAC1R. These receptors are known to induce cAMP concentration as well as stimulate the production of intracellular calcium. Their affinities for secretins such as VIP vary depending upon the subtype and the amino acid sequence of the ligand.
  • Secretin family members have short half-lives. For instance, VIP has a half-life of about two minutes in the blood stream. It is desirable to identify polypeptides that mimic the function of secretins such as VIP, but have increased half-life and equivalent or more bioactivity than the naturally occurring VIP amino acid sequence. It is also desirable to identify another peptidomimetic of VIP to have association to one receptor subtype over another secretin receptor.
  • HDL cholesterol level is inversely related to the incidence of coronary heart disease and recently received increasing attention as a novel target in lipid management of treating atherosclerotic vascular disease. Direct vascular protective effects of HDL have been attributed to apolipoprotein (apo) A-I or apoA-I-associated molecules in HDL using direct intravenous injections of homologous HDL, 3 recombinant mutant apoA-Imilano or apoA-I gene therapy, or use of transgenic animals overexpressing apoA-I or apoAI-related molecules such as paraoxonase. A recent phase II randomized trial showed that 5 weekly intravenous injections of recombinant apoA-1milano induced rapid regression of coronary atherosclerotic lesions in humans. It is desirable to identify polypeptides that mimic the function of apoA-1 such as paraoxonase, but have increased half-life and equivalent or more bioactivity than the naturally occurring paraoxonase amino acid sequence. It is also desirable to identify another peptidomimetic of apoA-1 to have association to a natural ligand for apoA-1 as compared to wild-type sequences.
  • Cytokines mediate cellular activities in a number of ways. Cytokines support the proliferation, growth, and differentiation of pluripotential hematopoietic stem cells into vast numbers of progenitors comprising diverse cellular lineages making up a complex immune system. Proper and balanced interactions between the cellular components are necessary for a healthy immune response. The different cellular lineages often respond in a different manner when cytokines are administered in conjunction with other agents.
  • Cytokines mediate communication between cells of the immune system, e.g., antigen presenting cells (APCs) and T lymphocytes. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent of antigen presenting cells. See, e.g., Paul (ed.) (1993) Fundamental Immunology 3d ed., Raven Press, NY. Antigen presentation refers to the cellular events in which a proteinaceous antigen is taken up, processed by antigen presenting cells (APC), and then recognized to initiate an immune response. The most active antigen presenting cells have been characterized as the macrophages (which are direct developmental products from monocytes), dendritic cells, and certain B cells. DCs are highly responsive to inflammatory stimuli such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). Cytokines or stimuli, such as LPS, can induce a series of phenotypic and functional changes in DC that are collectively referred to as maturation. See, e.g., Banchereau and Schmitt (eds.) (1995) Dendritic Cells in Fundamental and Clinical Immunoloy, Plenum Press, NY. It is desirable to identify polypeptides that mimic the function of cytokine families such as IL-10, IL-2, IL-4, IL-12, and IL-17, but have increased half-life and equivalent or more bioactivity than the naturally occurring IL-10, IL-2, IL-4, IL-12, and IL-17 representative amino acid sequences. It is also desirable to identify another peptidomimetic of a cytokine such as IL-17 to have association to a natural receptor for IL-17 as compared to wild-type sequences.
  • Chemists have long sought to extrapolate the power of biological catalysis and recognition to synthetic systems. These efforts have focused largely on low-molecular weight catalysts and receptors. Most biological systems, however, rely almost exclusively on large polymers such as proteins and RNA to perform complex biochemical and/or biological functions. There is a long-felt need to identify synthetic polymers of amino acids which display discrete and predictable folding propensities to mimic natural biological systems. Such polypeptides are designed to provide a molecular equivalent or improved functionality as compared to naturally occurring protein-protein interactions specifically because of their ability to mimic natural interactions in addition to their resistance to natural degradative enzymes in a subject. Whereas a naturally occurring probe, comprised entirely of α-amino acid residues, will be readily degraded by any number of proteases and peptidases, the secretin analogs of the present invention comprising a mixture of α- and β-amino acid residues are not degraded in the same manner
  • There is a need for secretin analogs that exhibit increased conformational constraints or increased conformational flexibility and greater half-lives. Increased conformational constraints may lock the active domain of the polypeptides into their active state. Increased conformational flexibility of the polypeptide may yield a high affinity selectivity for the naturally occurring polypeptide's natural biological target. There is a need for use of such analogs, compositions comprising such analogs, and methods of using the compositions as pharmaceutically active agents to treat disease in animals. New polypeptide analogs are disclosed that may provide one of more increased half-life, reduced degradation upon administration, reduced degradation upon solubilization, increased conformational constraints and that produce the same or greater biological effect as compared to naturally occurring secretin family members. The present invention addresses these and other needs associated with treatment and prevention of disease that implicate dysfunction of biological systems involving naturally occurring polypeptides.

  • The hormones regulating insulin secretion belong to the so-called enteroinsular axis, designating a group of hormones released from the gastrointestinal mucosa in response to the presence and absorption of nutrients in the gut, which promote an early and potentiated release of insulin. The enhancing effect on insulin secretion, the so-called incretin effect, is probably essential for a normal glucose tolerance. Many of the gastrointestinal hormones, including gastrin and secretin (cholecystokinin is not insulinotropic in man), are insulinotropic, but the only physiologically important ones, those that are responsible for the incretin effect, are the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, GIP, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
  • GIP is composed of 42 amino acids, processed from a 153 amino acid precursor (Takeda et al., PNAS USA (1987) 84:7005-7008). GIP is secreted by K cells present in the duodenum and in the small intestinal mucosa in response to carbohydrate and lipid containing meals (Mortensen et al. Ann. NY Acad. Sci. (2000) 921:469-472). Expression of the GIP receptor has been shown in pancreatic islets, the adrenal cortex, gut, heart, adipose tissue, several regions of the brain, and the pituitary gland (Usdin et al. (1993) Endocrinology 133:2861-2870).
  • Because of its insulinotropic effect, GIP, isolated in 1973 (Pederson R A. Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide. In Walsh J H, Dockray G J (eds.) Gut peptides: Biochemistry and Physiology. Raven Press, New York 1994, pp. 217-259) immediately attracted considerable interest among diabetologists. However, numerous investigations carried out during the following years clearly indicated that a defective secretion of GIP was not involved in the pathogenesis of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (Krarup T., Endocr Rev 1988; 9: 122-134). Furthermore, as an insulinotropic hormone, GIP was found to be almost ineffective in NIDDM (Krarup T., Endocr Rev 1988; 9: 122-134). The other incretin hormone, GLP-1 is the most potent insulinotropic substance known (O'rskov C., Diabetologia 1992; 35:701-711). Unlike GIP, it is surprisingly effective in stimulating insulin secretion in NIDDM patients. In addition, and in contrast to the other insulinotropic hormones (perhaps with the exception of secretin), it also potently inhibits glucagon secretion. Because of these actions, it has pronounced blood glucose lowering effects particularly in patients with NIDDM.
  • GLP-1, a product of the proglucagon gene (Bell G I, et al., Nature 1983; 304: 368-371), is one of the members of the secretin-VIP family of peptides, and is established as an important gut hormone with regulatory function in glucose metabolism and gastrointestinal secretion and metabolism (Hoist J J., 1994; Gastroenterology. 1994 December; 107(6):1848-55). The glucagon gene is processed differently in the pancreas and in the intestine. In the pancreas (Hoist J J, et al., J Biol Chem, 1994; 269: 18827-18833), the processing leads to the formation and parallel secretion of 1) glucagon itself, occupying positions 33-61 of proglucagon (PG); 2) an N-terminal peptide of 30 amino acids (PG (1-30)) often called glicentin-related pancreatic peptide, GRPP (Moody A J, et al., Nature 1981; 289: 514-516; Thim L, et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 1982; 703:134-141); 3) a hexapeptide corresponding to PG (64-69); 4) and, finally, the so-called major proglucagon fragment (PG (72-158)), in which the two glucagon-like sequences are buried (Hoist J J, et al., J Biol Chem, 1994; 269: 18827-18833). Glucagon seems to be the only biologically active product. In contrast, in the intestinal mucosa, it is glucagon that is buried in a larger molecule, while the two glucagon-like peptides are formed separately (O'rskov C, et al., Endocrinology 1986; 119:1467-1475). The following products are formed and secreted in parallel: 1) glicentin, corresponding to PG (1-69), with the glucagon sequence occupying residues Nos. 33-61 (Thim L, et al., Regul Pept 1981; 2:139-151); 2) GLP-1(7-36)amide (PG (78-107))amide (O'rskov C, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1989; 264:12826-12829), not as originally believed PG (72-107)amide or 108, which is inactive). Small amounts of C-terminally glycine-extended but equally bioactive GLP-1(7-37), (PG (78-108)) are also formed (Orskov C, et al., Diabetes 1991; 43: 535-539); 3) intervening peptide-2 (PG (111-122)amide) (Buhl T, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1988; 263:8621-8624); and 4) GLP-2 (PG (126-158)) (Buhl T, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1988; 263:8621-8624; O'rskov C, et al., FEBS letters, 1989; 247:193-106). A fraction of glicentin is cleaved further into GRPP (PG (1-30)) and oxyntomodulin (PG (33-69)) (Hoist J J. Biochem J. 1980; 187:337-343; Bataille D, et al., FEBS Lett 1982; 146:79-86).
  • Being secreted in parallel with glicentin/enteroglucagon, it follows that the many studies of enteroglucagon secretion (Hoist J J., Gastroenterology 1983; 84:1602-1613; Hoist J J, et al., Glucagon and other proglucagon-derived peptides. In Walsh J H, Dockray G J, eds. Gut peptides: Biochemistry and Physiology. Raven Press, New York, pp. 305-340, 1993) to some extent also apply to GLP-1 secretion, but GLP-1 is metabolized more quickly with a plasma half-life in humans of 2 minutes (O'rskov C, et al., Diabetes 1993; 42:658-661). Carbohydrate or fat-rich meals stimulate secretion (Elliott R M, et al., J Endocrinol 1993; 138: 159-166), presumably as a result of direct interaction of yet unabsorbed nutrients with the microvilli of the open-type L-cells of the gut mucosa.
  • The incretin function of GLP-1(29-31) has been clearly illustrated in experiments with the GLP-1 receptor antagonist, exendin 9-39, which dramatically reduces the incretin effect elicited by oral glucose in rats (Kolligs F, et al., Diabetes 1995 44: 16-19; Wang Z, et al., J. Clin. Invest. 1995 95: 417-421). The hormone interacts directly with the β-cells via the GLP-1 receptor (Thorens B., Proc Natl Acad Sci 1992; 89:8641-4645, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,670,360 and 6,051,689, which are incorporated by reference herein) which belongs to the glucagon/VIP/calcitonin family of G-protein-coupled 7-transmembrane spanning receptors. The importance of the GLP-1 receptor in regulating insulin secretion was illustrated in recent experiments in which a targeted disruption of the GLP-1 receptor gene was carried out in mice. Animals homozygous for the disruption had greatly deteriorated glucose tolerance and fasting hyperglycaemia, and even heterozygous animals were glucose intolerant (Scrocchi L, et al., Diabetes 1996; 45: 21A). The signal transduction mechanism (Fehmann H C, et al., Endocrine Reviews, 1995; 16: 390-410) primarily involves activation of adenylate cyclase, but elevations of intracellular Ca2+ are also essential (Fehmann H C, et al., Endocrine Reviews, 1995; 16: 390-410; Gromada J, et al., Diabetes 1995; 44: 767-774). A model of GLP-1 receptor-ligand interaction is shown in Lopez de Maturana, R. et al. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 10195-10200. Lopez de Maturana et al. indicate that the N-terminal domain of the receptor binds to the conserved face of the central helix of exendin-4, GLP-1, and exendin (9-39). The N-terminal regions of exendin-4 and GLP-1 interact with the extracellular loops and/or the transmembrane regions of the GLP-1R. Also the N-terminal domain of the receptor interacts with the Trp-cage portion of the exendin-4 and exendin (9-39). Neidigh et al. Nature Structural Biology (2002) 9(6):425-430 describe the Trp-cage structure of Exendin-4 and mutants thereof.
  • The action of the hormone is best described as a potentiation of glucose stimulated insulin release (Fehmann H C, et al., Endocrine Reviews, 1995; 16: 390-410), but the mechanism that couples glucose and GLP-1 stimulation is not known. It may involve a calcium-induced calcium release (Gromada J, et al., Diabetes 1995; 44: 767-774; Holz G G. et al., J Biol Chem, 1996; 270: 17749-17759). As already mentioned, the insulinotropic action of GLP-1 is preserved in diabetic P-cells. The relation of the latter to its ability to convey “glucose competence” to isolated insulin-secreting cells (Gromada J, et al., Diabetes 1995, 44: 767-774; Holz G G, et al., Nature 1993, 361:362-365), which respond poorly to glucose or GLP-1 alone, but fully to a combination of the two, is also not known. Equally importantly, however, the hormone also potently inhibits glucagon secretion (O'rskov C, et al., Endocrinology 1988; 123:2009-2013). The mechanism is not known, but seems to be paracrine, via neighbouring insulin or somatostatin cells (Fehmann H C, et al., Endocrine Reviews, 1995; 16: 390-410). Also the glucagonostatic action is glucose-dependent, so that the inhibitory effect decreases as blood glucose decreases. Because of this dual effect, if the plasma GLP-1 concentrations increase either by increased secretion or by exogenous infusion, the molar ratio of insulin to glucagon in the blood that reaches the liver via the portal circulation is greatly increased, whereby hepatic glucose production decreases (Hvidberg A, et al., Metabolism 1994; 43:104-108). As a result blood glucose concentrations decrease. Because of the glucose dependency of the insulinotropic and glucagonostatic actions, the glucose lowering effect is self-limiting, and the hormone, therefore, does not cause hypoglycaemia regardless of dose (Qualmann C, et al., Acta Diabetologica, 1995; 32: 13-16). The effects are preserved in patients with diabetes mellitus (Nauck M A, et al., J Clin Invest 1993; 91:301-307), in whom infusions of slightly supraphysiological doses of GLP-1 may completely normalise blood glucose values in spite of poor metabolic control and secondary failure to sulphonylurea (Nauck M A, et al., Diabetologia 1993; 36:741-744). The importance of the glucagonostatic effect is illustrated by the finding that GLP-1 also lowers blood glucose in type-I diabetic patients without residual P-cell secretory capacity (Creutzfeldt W, et al., Diabetes Care 1996; 19: 580-586).
  • GLP-1 is involved in increasing beta-cell mass as well as regulating beta-cell differentiation, beta-cell proliferation and beta-cell survival (Stoffers D A, Horm Metab Res. 2004 November-December; 36(11-12):811-21), and has a role in increasing proinsulin gene transcription and biosynthesis.
  • In addition to its effects on the pancreatic islets, GLP-1 has powerful actions on the gastrointestinal tract. Infused in physiological amounts, GLP-1 potently inhibits pentagastrin-induced as well as meal-induced gastric acid secretion (Schjoldager B T G, et al., Dig. Dis. Sci. 1989; 35:703-708; Wettergren A, et al., Dig Dis Sci 1993; 38:665-673). It also inhibits gastric emptying rate and pancreatic enzyme secretion (Wettergren A., et al., Dig Dis Sci 1993; 38:665-673). Similar inhibitory effects on gastric and pancreatic secretion and motility may be elicited in humans upon perfusion of the ileum with carbohydrate- or lipid-containing solutions (Layer P, et al., Dig Dis Sci 1995; 40: 1074-1082; Layer P, et al., Digestion 1993; 54: 385-386). Concomitantly, GLP-1 secretion is greatly stimulated, and it has been speculated that GLP-1 may be at least partly responsible for this so-called “ileal-brake” effect (Layer P, et al., Digestion 1993; 54: 385-386). In fact, recent studies suggest that, physiologically, the ileal-brake effects of GLP-1 may be more important than its effects on the pancreatic islets. Thus, in dose response studies GLP-1 influences gastric emptying rate at infusion rates at least as low as those required to influence islet secretion (Nauck M, et al., Gut 1995; 37 (suppl. 2): A124).
  • GLP-1 seems to have an effect on food intake. Intraventricular administration of GLP-1 profoundly inhibits food intake in rats (Schick R R, vorm Walde T, Zimmermann J P, Schusdziarra V, Classen M. Glucagon-like peptide 1—a novel brain peptide involved in feeding regulation. in Ditschuneit H, Gries F A, Hauner H, Schusdziarra V, Wechsler J G (eds.) Obesity in Europe. John Libbey & Company Ltd., 1994; pp. 363-367; 42). This effect seems to be highly specific. Thus, N-terminally extended GLP-1 (PG 72-107) amide is inactive and appropriate doses of the GLP-1 antagonist, exendin 9-39, abolish the effects of GLP-1. Acute, peripheral administration of GLP-1 does not inhibit food intake acutely in rats (Turton M D, et al., Nature 1996; 379: 69-72). However, it remains possible that GLP-1 secreted from the intestinal L-cells may also act as a satiety signal.
  • Not only the insulinotropic effects but also the effects of GLP-1 on the gastrointestinal tract are preserved in diabetic patients (Willms B, et al., Diabetologia 1994; 37, supp1.1: A118), and may help curtailing meal-induced glucose excursions, but, more importantly, may also influence food intake. Administered intravenously, continuously for one week, GLP-1 at 4 ng/kg/min has been demonstrated to dramatically improve glycaemic control in NIDDM patients without significant side effects (Larsen J, et al., Diabetes 1996; 45, suppl. 2: 233A). The peptide is fully active after subcutaneous administration (Ritzel R, et al., Diabetologia 1995; 38: 720-725), but is rapidly degraded mainly due to degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV-like enzymes (Deacon C F, et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1995; 80: 952-957; Deacon C F, et al., Diabetes 44: 1126-1131).
  • The amino acid sequence of GLP-1 is disclosed in Schmidt et al. (Diabetologia 28 704-707 (1985). Human GLP-1 is a 30-31 amino acid residue peptide originating from preproglucagon which is synthesized, i.a. in the L-cells in the distal ileum, in the pancreas and in the brain. Processing of preproglucagon to GLP-1(7-36)amide, GLP-1(7-37) and GLP-2 occurs mainly in the L-cells. Although the interesting pharmacological properties of GLP-1(7-37) and analogues thereof have attracted much attention in recent years only little is known about the structure of these molecules. The secondary structure of GLP-1 in micelles has been described by Thorton et al. (Biochemistry 33: 3532-3539 (1994)), but in normal solution, GLP-1 is considered a very flexible molecule. Derivatisation of this relatively small and very flexible molecule resulted in compounds whose plasma profile were highly protracted and still had retained activity.
  • GLP-1 and analogues of GLP-1 and fragments thereof are useful i.e. in the treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and obesity.

  • Another example of a peptide is T-20 (DP-178) which is a peptide corresponding to amino acids 638 to 673 of the HIV-1LAI transmembrane protein (TM) gp41, the carboxyl-terminal helical segment of the extracellular portion of gp41. The extracellular portion of gp41 has another .alpha.-helical region which is the amino-terminal proposed zipper domain, DP-107, DP-107 exhibits potent antiviral activity by inhibiting viral fusion. It is a 38 amino acid peptide, corresponding to residues 558 to 595 of the HIV-1LAI transmembrane gp41 protein. Studies with DP-107 have proven both are non-toxic in in vitro studies and in animals. U.S. Pat. No. 5,656,480, which is incorporated by reference herein, describes DP-107 and its antiviral activity. In some embodiments the compositions, pharmaceutical compositions comprise analogs, wherein the analog amino acid sequence is based upon the DP-107 fragments, polypeptides, and functional derivatives disclosed.
  • T-20 inhibits entry of HIV into cells by acting as a viral fusion inhibitor. The fusion process of HIV is well characterized. HIV binds to CD4 receptor via gp120, and upon binding to its receptor, gp120 goes through a series of conformational changes that allows it to bind to its coreceptors, CCR5 or CXCR4. After binding to both receptor and coreceptor, gp120 exposes gp41 to begin the fusion process. gp41 has two regions named heptad repeat 1 and 2 (HR1 and 2). The extracellular domain identified as HR1 is an β.-helical region which is the amino-terminal of a proposed zipper domain HR1 comes together with HR2 of gp41 to form a hairpin. The structure that it is formed is a α-helix bundle that places the HIV envelope in the proximity of the cellular membrane causing fusion between the two membranes. T-20 prevents the conformational changes necessary for viral fusion by binding the first heptad-repeat (HR1) of the gp41 transmembrane glycoprotein. Thus, the formation of the 6-helix bundle is blocked by T-20's binding to the HR1 region of gp41. The DP107 and DP178 domains (i.e., the HR1 and HR2 domains) of the HIV gp41 protein non-covalently complex with each other, and their interaction is required for the normal infectivity of the virus. Compounds that disrupt the interaction between DP107 and DP178, and/or between DP107-like and DP178-like peptides are antifusogenic, including antiviral.
  • DP-178 acts as a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 mediated CD-4+ cell-cell fusion (i.e., syncytial formation) and infection of CD-4+ cells by cell-free virus. Such anti-retroviral activity includes, but is not limited to, the inhibition of HIV transmission to uninfected CD-4+ cells. DP-178 act at low concentrations, and it has been proven that it is non-toxic in in vitro studies and in animals The amino acid conservation within the DP-178—corresponding regions of HIV-1 and HIV-2 has been described.
  • Potential uses for DP-178 peptides are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,464,933 and 6,133,418, as well as U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,750,008 and 6,824,783, all of which are incorporated by reference herein, for use in inhibition of fusion events associated with HIV transmission.

  • Potential delivery systems for DP-178 include, but are not limited to those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,844,324 and 6,706,892. In addition, a process for producing T-20 in inclusion bodies was described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,858,410.
  • T20/DP178, T21/DP107, and fragments thereof have also been found to interact with N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR members). T-20 activates the N-formyl peptide receptor present in human phagocytes (Su et al. (1999) Blood 93(11):3885-3892) and is a chemoattractant and activator of monocytes and neutrophils (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,830,893). The FPR class receptors are G-protein-coupled, STM receptors that bind the chemoattractant fMLP (N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine) and are involved in monocyte chemotaxis and the induction of a host immune response to a pathogen. The prototype FPR class receptor, FPR, binds fMLP with high affinity and is activated by low concentrations of fMLP. The binding of FPR by fMLP induces a cascade of G protein-mediated signaling events leading to phagocytic cell adhesion, chemotaxis, release of oxygen intermediates, enhanced phagocytosis and bacterial killing, as well as MAP kinase activation and gene transcription. (Krump et al., J Biol Chem 272:937 (1997); Prossnitz et al., Pharmacol Ther 74:73 (1997); Murphy, Annu. Rev. Immuno. 12: 593 (1994); and Murphy, The N-formyl peptide chemotactic receptors, Chemoattractant ligands and their receptors. CRC Press, Boca Raton, p. 269 (1996)). Another FPR class receptor is the highly homologous variant of FPR, named FPRL1 (also referred to as FPRH2 and LXA4R). FPRL1 was originally cloned as an orphan receptor (Murphy et al., J. Biol. Chem., 267:7637-7643 (1992); Ye et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 184:582-589 (1992); Bao et al., Genomics, 13:437-440 (1992); Gao, J. L. and P. M. Murphy, J. Biol. Chem., 268:25395-25401 (1993); and Nomura et al., Int. Immunol., 5:1239-1249 (1993)) but was subsequently found to mediate Ca2+ mobilization in response to high concentrations of fMLP. (Ye et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 184:582-589 (1992); and Gao, J. L. and P. M. Murphy, J. Biol. Chem. 268:25395-25401 (1993)). In some embodiments, the invention relates to a method of modulating an FPR member or CCR5 by:
  • a) contacting the FPR member or CCR5 molecule with a T20 analog, wherein said analog comprises an α-amino acid and at least one β-amino acid;
  • b) measuring the association of the T20 analog to the FPR member or CCR5 in the presence and absence of an unknown compound; and
  • c) comparing the rate of association of the T20 analog to the FPR member or CCR5 in the presence of an unknown compound to the rate of association of the T20 analog to the FPR member or CCR5 in the absence of an unknown compound.
  • The chemokine receptor CCR5 is another G-protein-coupled, STM receptor and is a major fusion-cofactor exploited by most primary isolates of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). (Al Khatib et al., Science 1996, 272:1955; Doranz et al., Cell 1996, 85:1149; Deng et al., Nature 1996, 381:661; Dragic et al., Nature 1996; 381:667; Horuk, Immunol Today, 20:89 (1999); Dimitrov and Broder, “HIV and Membrane Receptors,” HIV and membrane fusion: Medical Intelligence Unit, Landes Bioscience, Austin, Tex., 1997:99; and Berger, AIDS 11, Suppl A:S3 (1997)). Individuals that fail to express CCR5 are largely resistant to HIV-1 infection. (Liu et al., Cell 1996, 86:367-77; Huang, Y, Nat Med 1996, 2:1240; Dean, et al., Science, 273:1856 (1996)). Due to its prominent role in HIV-1 fusion and entry, investigators have focused considerable research on developing molecules that interrupt the interaction between the HIV-1 envelope and CCR5. Chemokine ligands and antibodies specific for CCR5, for example, have been shown to inhibit HIV-1 entry and replication. (Cocchi et al., Science, 270:1811 (1995); Wu et al., J Exp Med, 186: 373 (1997); Proudfoot et al., J Biol Chem, 271:2599 (1996); Arenzana-Seisdedos et al., Nature, 383:400 (1996); Gong et al., J Biol Chem, 273:4289 (1998)). U.S. Pat. No. 6,808,877 discusses DP-178 and its role in phosphorylation and downregulation of CCR5 and/or the inhibition of HIV infection by acting as a ligand to the N-formyl peptide receptor.
  • Peptide YY (PYY) is a thirty six amino acid long peptide, first isolated from porcine intestinal tissue and mainly localized in intestinal endocrine cells. PYY is secreted postprandially by endocrine cells of the distal gastrointestinal tract and acts at the hypothalamus signaling satiety. See Batterham, R. L. et al., Nature 418:650-654 (2002), which is incorporated by reference herein. It has many biological activities, including a range of activities within the digestive system and potent inhibition of intestinal electrolyte and fluid secretion. Like its relatives, neuropeptide Y (NPY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP), peptide YY (PYY) is bent into hairpin configuration that is important in bringing the free ends of the molecule together for binding to the receptors.
  • Recent studies have shown that fasting and postprandial PYY levels are low in obese subjects, which may account for their high appetite and food consumption. When administered intravenously, it suppresses appetite and food intake in both lean and obese subjects (Batterham, R. L. et al., N Engl J Med 349:941-948 (2003)). Other peptides from the pancreatic peptide (PP) family, like peptide YY fragments (e.g. PYY{3-36}), and PYY agonists (including those not in the PP family) also suppress appetite. Its oral activity, however, is negligible due to its low absorption and rapid degradation in the gastrointestinal tract. PYY {3-36} is identified as Ile Lys pro Glu Ala Pro Gly Glu ASp Ala Ser Pro Glu Glu Leu Asn Arg Tyr Tyr Ala Ser Leu Arg His Tyr Leu Asn Leu val Thr Arg Gln Arg Tyr; Eberlein, Eysselein et al., Peptides 10:797-803 (1989); and Grandy, Schimiczek et al., Regul Pept 51:151-9 (1994), which are incorporated by reference herein.
  • PYY {3-36} has a sequence identical to PYY over amino acids 3 to 36. PYY{3-36} contains approximately 40% of total peptide YY-like immunoreactivity in human and canine intestinal extracts and about 36% of total plasma peptide YY immunoreactivity in a fasting state to slightly over 50% following a meal. It is apparently a dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP4) cleavage product of peptide YY. Peptide YY{3-36} is reportedly a selective ligand at the Y2 and Y5 receptors, which appear pharmacologically unique in preferring N-terminally truncated (i.e. C terminal fragments of) neuropeptide Y analogs. A PYY agonist may bind to a PYY receptor with higher or lower affinity, demonstrate a longer or shorter half-life in vivo or in vitro, or be more or less effective than native PYY. In some embodiments a functional fragment of PYY{3-36} is a fragment of the above sequence that shares the immunoreactivity in human and canine intestinal extracts.
  • Current antiobesity drugs have limited efficacy and numerous side effects. Crowley, V. E., Yeo, G. S. & O'Rahilly, S., Nat. Rev. Drug Discov 1, 276-86 (2002). With obesity reaching epidemic proportions worldwide, there is a pressing need for the development of adequate therapeutics in this area. In recent years, hormones and neuropeptides involved in the regulation of appetite, body energy expenditure, and fat mass accumulation such as PYY have emerged as potential antiobesity drugs. See McMinn, J E, Baskin, D. G. & Schwartz, M. W., Obes Rev 1:37-46 (2000), Drazen, D. L. & Woods, S. C., Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care 6:621-629 (2003), which are incorporated by reference herein.
  • According to Batterham et al., Nature 418:650-654 (2002), which is hereby incorporated by reference, the peptide YY {3-36} system may provide a therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity. International Publication No. WO 02/47712 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002/0141985 disclose methods for treating obesity and diabetes with peptide YY and peptide YY agonists, such as peptide YY13-361. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20050002927 describes the use of at least one Y2 receptor-binding peptide, such as peptide YY, Neuropeptide Y (NPY) or Pancreatic Peptide (PP) for treating a variety of diseases and conditions in mammalian subjects such as obesity and epilepsy. In some embodiments the compositions, pharmaceutical compositions comprise analogs, wherein the analog amino acid sequence is based upon the PPY or the peptide YY {3-36} fragments, polypeptides, and functional derivatives disclosed above. In some embodiments, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition that comprise a PPY or peptide YY {3-36} analog, wherein the analog amino acid sequence is based upon the fragments, polypeptides, and functional derivatives disclosed above for treatment of obesity, diabetes, seizures associated with temporal lobe epilepsy, ulcers, irritable bowel disease and inflammatory bowel disease according to the dosing regimens disclosed below.
  • In some embodiments, the compositions of the claimed invention comprise analog of PYY(3-36), AC162352, Neuropeptide Y (NPY) (U.S. Pat. No US 2005/0136036 A1).
  • In addition, treatment with DPP-IV inhibitors prevents degradation of Peptide YY which has been linked to gastrointestinal conditions such as ulcers, irritable bowel disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Peptide YY and its analogs or agonists have been used to manipulate endocrine regulation of cell proliferation, nutrient transport, and intestinal water and electrolyte secretion. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,604,203; WO9820885A1; EP692971A1; U.S. Pat. No. 5,912,227, which are incorporated by reference herein). A role for peptide YY in the regulation of intestinal motility, secretion, and blood flow has also been suggested, as well as its use in a treatment of malabsorptive disorders. Analogs of PYY have been reported that emulate and enhance the duration, effect, biological activity and selectivity of the natural peptide in the treatment of pancreatic tumors (See U.S. Ser. No. 5,574,010, incorporated herein by reference).
  • Other suitable PYY agonists include those described in International Publication No. WO 98/20885, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • In one aspect, the invention provides a method of treating obesity in an obese or overweight animal by administering a therapeutically effective amount of PYY analog, a PYY agonist analog, or a mixture thereof with at least one delivery agent compound and to a subject in need thereof. While “obesity” is generally defined as a body mass index over 30, for purposes of this disclosure, any subject, including those with a body mass index of less than 30, who needs or wishes to reduce body weight is included in the scope of “obese.” Subjects who are insulin resistant, glucose intolerant, or have any form of diabetes mellitus (e.g., type 1, 2 or gestational diabetes) can benefit from this method.
  • In other aspects, the invention features methods of reducing food intake, treating diabetes mellitus, and improving lipid profile (including reducing LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels and/or changing HDL cholesterol levels) comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a PYY analog, a PYY agonist analog, or a mixture thereof with at least one delivery agent compound. In some embodiments, the methods of the invention are used to treat conditions or disorders which can be alleviated by reducing nutrient availability in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to said subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a PYY analog, a PYY agonist analog, or a mixture thereof with at least one delivery agent compound. Such conditions and disorders include, but are not limited to, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, insulin-resistance, obesity, and diabetes mellitus of any kind.
  • Suitable PYY agonist analogs may be derived or based upon the amino acid sequence of PYY agonists that have a potency in one of the assays described in WO 02/47712 and U.S. patent Publication No. 2002/0141985 (which is herein incorporated by reference and discloses the activity of food intake, gastric emptying, pancreatic secretion, or weight reduction assays) which is greater than the potency of NPY in that same assay. A PYY analog and/or a PYY agonist analog with the delivery agent compound may be administered separately or together with one or more other compounds and compositions that exhibit a long term or short-term action to reduce nutrient availability, including, but not limited to other compounds and compositions that comprise an amylin or amylin agonist, a cholecystokinin (CCK) or CCK agonist, a leptin (OB protein) or leptin agonist, an exendin or exendin agonist, or a GLP-1 or GLP-1 agonist as described in U.S. Patent Publication 20050009748. Suitable amylin agonists include, for example, (25,28,29Pro-)-human amylin (also known as “pramlintide”, and described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,686,511 and 5,998,367), calcitonin (e.g., salmon calcitonin), including those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,739,106, which is hereby incorporated by reference. The CCK used is preferably CCK octopeptide (CCK-8). Leptin is discussed in, for example, Pelleymounter, C. et al., Science 269: 540-543 (1995), Halaas, G. et al., Science 269: 543-6 (1995) and Campfield, S. et al., Science 269: 546-549 (1995). Suitable CCK agonist includes those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,739,106, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Suitable exendins include exendin-3 and exendin-4, and exendin agonist compounds include, for example, those described in PCT Publications WO 99/07404, WO 99/25727, and WO 99/25728, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference. According to one embodiment, the composition of the present invention includes at least one delivery agent compound, PYY, a PYY agonist, or a mixture thereof, at least one amylin agonist, and a CCK agonist. Suitable combinations of amylin agonist and CCK agonist include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,739,106, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

  • The human hormone glucagon is a 29-amino acid peptide hormone produced in the A-cells of the pancreas. The hormone belongs to a multi-gene family of structurally related peptides that include secretin, gastric inhibitory peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide and glicentin. These peptides variously regulate carbohydrate metabolism, gastrointestinal mobility and secretory processing. The principal recognized actions of pancreatic glucagon, however, are to promote hepatic glycogenolysis and glyconeogenesis, resulting in an elevation of blood sugar levels. In this regard, the actions of glucagon are counter regulatory to those of insulin and may contribute to the hyperglycemia that accompanies Diabetes mellitus {(Lund, P. K., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 79:345-349 (1982)}.
  • Glucagon has been found to be capable of binding to specific receptors which lie on the surface of insulin producing cells. Glucagon, when bound to these receptors, stimulates the rapid synthesis of cAMP by these cells. cAMP, in turn, has been found to stimulate insulin expression {Korman, L. Y., et al., Diabetes, 34:717-722 (1985)}. Insulin acts to inhibit glucagon synthesis {Ganong, W. F., Review of Medical Physiology, Lange Publications, Los Altos, Calif., p. 273 (1979)}. Thus, the expression of glucagon is carefully regulated by insulin, and ultimately by the serum glucose level.
  • The glucagon gene is initially translated from a 360 base pair precursor to form the polypeptide, preproglucagon {Lund, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 79:345-349 (1982)}. This polypeptide is subsequently processed to form proglucagon. Patzelt, C., et al., Nature, 282:260-266 (1979) demonstrated that proglucagon was subsequently cleaved into glucagon and a second polypeptide. Subsequent work by Lund, P. K., et al. supra, Lopez L. C., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 80:5485-5489 (1983), and Bell, G. I., et al., Nature 302:716-718 (1983), demonstrated that the proglucagon molecule was cleaved immediately after lysine-arginine dipeptide residues. Studies of proglucagon produced by channel catfish (Ictalurus punctata) indicated that glucagon from this animal was also proteolytically cleaved after adjacent lysine-arginine dipeptide residues {Andrews P. C., et al., J. Biol. Chem., 260:3910-3914 (1985), Lopez, L. C., et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 80:5485-5489 (1983)}. Bell, G. I., et al., supra, discovered that mammalian proglucagon was cleaved at lysine-arginine or arginine-arginine dipeptides, and demonstrated that the proglucagon molecule contained three discrete and highly homologous peptide molecules which were designated glucagon, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2). Lopez, et al., concluded that glucagon-like peptide 1 was 37 amino acid residues long and that glucagon-like peptide 2 was 34 amino acid residues long. Analogous studies on the structure of rat preproglucagon revealed a similar pattern of proteolytic cleavage between adjacent lysine-arginine or arginine-arginine dipeptide residues, resulting in the formation of glucagon, GLP-1 and GLP-2 {Heinrich, G., et al., Endocrinol., 115:2176-2181 (1984)}.
  • Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a 33 amino acid peptide expressed in a tissue-specific manner from the pleiotropic glucagon gene. GLP-2 shows remarkable homology in terms of amino acid sequence to glucagon and Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Further, different mammalian forms of GLP-2 are highly conserved. The sequence of human GLP-2, is as follows: His-Ala-Asp-Gly-Ser-Phe-Ser-Asp-Glu-Met-Asn-Thr-Ile-Leu-Asp-Asn-Leu-Ala-A-la-Arg-Asp-Phe-Ile-Asn-Trp-Leu-Ile-Gln-Thr-Lys-Ile-Thr-Asp. Further, a large number of agonist GLP-2 peptides that are described in PCT Application PCT/CA97/00252, filed Apr. 11, 1997. Analogs are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,051,557, and examples of GLP-2 variants are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,990,077 and 6,184,201.
  • Recently it was demonstrated that GLP-2 is an intestinotrophic peptide hormone (Drucker et al., (1996) PNAS, 93:7911-7916). When given exogenously, GLP-2 can produce a marked increase in the proliferation of small intestinal epithelium of the test mice, apparently with no undesirable side effects. Subsequently it was shown that peptide analogs of native GLP-2 with certain modifications to the peptide sequence possess enhanced intestinotrophic activity (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/669,791). Moreover, GLP-2 has also been shown to increase D-Glucose maximal transport rate across the intestinal basolateral membrane (Cheeseman and Tseng (1996) American Journal of Physiology 271:G477-G482).
  • A number of peptide hormones (IGF-2, IGF-1, GH), structurally unrelated to GLP-2, have been demonstrated to have varying degrees of intestinotrophic activity. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,482,926, WO 91/12018, U.S. Pat. No. 5,288,703). However, none of the above peptide hormones possess the efficacy or specificity of GLP-2 in promoting proliferation of the intestine epithelium. GLP-2 acts synergistically with the peptide hormones IGF-1 and/or GH to promote the proliferation of cells in the large intestine. Furthermore, the intestinotrophic effects on the small and large intestines of this combination therapy are greater than that seen with any one of alone. Coadministration of GLP-2 with IGF-2 to promote growth of small and/or large intestine tissue is discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,952,301.
  • Nucleic acid encoding the GLP-2 receptor has been isolated and methods to identify GLP-2 receptor agonists are described (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/767,224 and U.S. Ser. No. 08/845,546). GLP-2's role in diseases involving the esophagus and the stomach, in assisting patients at risk of developing a malfunctioning of the upper gastrointestinal tract, and in increasing tissue growth in the upper gastrointestinal tract have been discussed (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,051,557). GLP-2 receptor agonists act to enhance functioning of the large intestine. (U.S. Pat. No. 6,297,214). GLP-2 and peptidic agonists of GLP-2 can cause proliferation of the tissue of large intestine. GLP-2 may also be useful to treat or prevent inflammatory conditions of the large intestine, including inflammatory bowel diseases (U.S. Pat. No. 6,586,399).
  • A very wide variety of non-naturally encoded amino acids are suitable for use in the present invention. Any number of non-naturally encoded amino acids can be introduced into an analog. In general, the introduced non-naturally encoded amino acids are substantially chemically inert toward the 20 common, genetically-encoded amino acids (i.e., alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine). In some embodiments, the non-naturally encoded amino acids include side chain functional groups that react efficiently and selectively with functional groups not found in the 20 common amino acids (including but not limited to, azido, ketone, aldehyde and aminooxy groups) to form stable conjugates. For example, an analog that includes a non-naturally encoded amino acid containing an azido functional group can be reacted with a polymer (including but not limited to, poly(ethylene glycol) or, alternatively, a second polypeptide containing an alkyne moiety to form a stable conjugate resulting for the selective reaction of the azide and the alkyne functional groups to form a Huisgen {3+2} cycloaddition product.
  • In some embodiments, the composition or pharmaceutical compositions of the claimed invention comprises an analog of a polypeptide, wherein the analog amino acid sequence is based upon the fragments, polypeptides, and functional derivatives disclosed herein and wherein the analog comprises at least one or a plurality of non-natural amino acids and at least one or a plurality of β-amino acid residues. A non-natural amino acid typically possesses an R group that is any substituent other than one component of the twenty natural amino acids, and may be suitable for use in the present invention. Because the non-naturally encoded amino acids of the invention typically differ from the natural amino acids only in the structure of the side chain, the non-naturally encoded amino acids form amide bonds with other amino acids, including but not limited to, natural or non-naturally encoded, in the same manner in which they are formed in naturally occurring polypeptides. However, the non-natural amino acids have side chain groups that distinguish them from the natural amino acids. For example, R optionally comprises an alkyl-, aryl-, acyl-, keto-, azido-, hydroxyl-, hydrazine, cyano-, halo-, hydrazide, alkenyl, alkynyl, ether, thiol, seleno-, sulfonyl-, borate, boronate, phospho, phosphono, phosphine, heterocyclic, enone, imine, aldehyde, ester, thioacid, hydroxylamine, amino group, or the like or any combination thereof.

Examples of such amino acids also include examples where the naturally-occurring N- or O-linkage between the amino acid and the saccharide is replaced by a covalent linkage not commonly found in nature—including but not limited to, an alkene, an oxime, a thioether, an amide and the like. Examples of such amino acids also include saccharides that are not commonly found in naturally-occurring proteins such as 2-deoxy-glucose, 2-deoxygalactose and the like.

Tyrosine analogs include, but are not limited to, para-substituted tyrosines, ortho-substituted tyrosines, and meta substituted tyrosines, where the substituted tyrosine comprises, including but not limited to, a keto group (including but not limited to, an acetyl group), a benzoyl group, an amino group, a hydrazine, an hydroxyamine, a thiol group, a carboxy group, an isopropyl group, a methyl group, a C6-C20 straight chain or branched hydrocarbon, a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon, an O-methyl group, a polyether group, a nitro group, an alkynyl group or the like. In addition, multiply substituted aryl rings are also contemplated. Glutamine analogs that may be suitable for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to, α.-hydroxy derivatives, cyclic derivatives, and amide substituted glutamine derivatives.

Incorporation of azides into recombinant proteins for chemoselective modification by the Staudinger ligation, PNAS 99:19-24, for additional methionine analogs.
  • The chemical moieties via unnatural amino acids that can be incorporated into analogs offer a variety of advantages and manipulations of the protein. For example, the unique reactivity of a keto functional group allows selective modification of proteins with any of a number of hydrazine- or hydroxylamine-containing reagents in vitro and in vivo. A heavy atom unnatural amino acid, for example, can be useful for phasing X-ray structure data. The site-specific introduction of heavy atoms using unnatural amino acids also provides selectivity and flexibility in choosing positions for heavy atoms. In some embodiments, the composition or pharmaceutical compositions of the claimed invention comprises an analog of a polypeptide, wherein the analog amino acid sequence is based upon the fragments, polypeptides, and functional derivatives disclosed herein and wherein the analog comprises at least one or a plurality of unnatural amino acid or non-natural amino acid and at least one or a plurality of β-amino acid residues, wherein the unnatural amino is a photoreactive unnatural amino acid chosen from (including but not limited to, amino acids with benzophenone and arylazides (including but not limited to, phenylazide) side chains), for example, allow for efficient in vivo and in vitro photocrosslinking of protein. Examples of photoreactive unnatural amino acids include, but are not limited to, p-azido-phenylalanine and p-benzoyl-phenylalanine. The protein with the photoreactive unnatural amino acids can then be crosslinked at will by excitation of the photoreactive group-providing temporal control. In one example, the methyl group of an unnatural amino can be substituted with an isotopically labeled, including but not limited to, methyl group, as a probe of local structure and dynamics, including but not limited to, with the use of nuclear magnetic resonance and vibrational spectroscopy. Alkynyl or azido functional groups, for example, allow the selective modification of proteins with molecules through a {3+2} cycloaddition reaction.
  • A non-natural amino acid incorporated into a polypeptide at the amino terminus can be composed of an R group that is any substituent other than one used in the twenty natural amino acids and a second reactive group different from the NH2 group normally present in α-amino acids. A similar non-natural amino acid can be incorporated at the carboxyl terminus with a second reactive group different from the COOH group normally present in α-amino acids.

  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 shows MALDI-TOF data of a purified VIP analogue which illustrates the expected mass (within a reasonable tolerance) of both singly charged and doubly charged species of the analogue after chemical synthesis, cleavage from resin, and subsequent purification of the analogue through a C18 HPLC column.
  • FIG. 2 presents circular dichroism data of a VIP analogue diluted in a 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH of 7.5. The signal exhibited for the structure of the VIP analogue is similar to previously characterized α-amino acid/β amino acid peptides of similar backbone length and concentration, which indicates a substantial helical content (Home et. al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2007, 129 (14), pp 4178-4180; Home et. al. PNAS, Sep. 1, 2009, vol. 106, no. 35, 14751-14756).
  • FIG. 3 illustrates in vitro functional EC50 data of a VIP analogue tested in the presence of VIPR1 (VPAC1) or VIPR2 (VPAC2) receptors as compared to the binding of wild-type VIP protein to the same receptors. The data show that the analogue achieves full activation of VIPR1 (˜100%, relative to maximum activation), but has an EC50 at a concentration higher than the EC50 of wild-type VIP protein.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates data from an in vitro antagonist inhibition assay in which competition for VIPR1 (VPAC1) or VIPR2 (VPAC2) was measured by the amount of VIP analogue capable of inhibiting the association of wild-type VIP to its receptors.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates helical wheel diagrams of repeating patterns of α- or β-amino acids residues in alignment along one longitudinal axis of a folded molecular structure from N-terminus to C-terminus when the unnatural polypeptides adopt a helical conformation, where the position of β-amino acids are represented by solid dots.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a helical wheel diagram of the predicted α-helical portion of VIP polypeptide, positions 10-28.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates multiple VIP analog sequences and their corresponding helical wheel diagrams, where the position of β-amino acids are represented by solid dots.

  • The invention relates to the manufacturing of a synthetic polypeptide which is an amino acid sequence that corresponds to the sequence of a biologically active polypeptide or fragment thereof. In the synthetic polypeptide, from about 14% to about 50% of the α-amino acid residues found in the biologically active polypeptide or fragment are replaced with β-amino acid residues. In another embodiment of the invention, the α-amino acid residues and the β-amino acid residues are distributed in a repeating pattern. Human cells are then contacted with the synthetic polypeptide to induce the biochemical pathway or biological activity ordinarily induced by the naturally occurring polypeptide upon which the analog is based.
  • The compositions of the invention may be prepared by the synthetic chemical procedures described herein, as well as other procedures similar to those which may be used for making β-amino acid peptides. Such procedures include both solution and solid phase procedures, e.g., using either Boc and Fmoc methodologies. The compounds of the invention may be synthesized using solid phase synthesis techniques. Fmoc-N-Protected β-amino acids can be used to synthesize poly-α/β-peptides by conventional manual solid-phase synthesis procedures under standard conditions on any number of solid supports, including ortho-chloro-trityl chloride resin. Esterification of Fmoc-β-amino acids with the ortho-chloro-trityl resin can be performed according to the method of Barbs et. al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1989, 30, 3943. The resin (150 mg, 1.05 mmol Cl) is swelled in 2 ml CH2Cl2 for 10 min A solution of the Fmoc-protected β-amino acid in CH2Cl2 and iPr2EtN are then added successively and the suspension is mixed under argon for 4 h. Subsequently, the resin is filtered and washed with CH2Cl2/MeOH/iPr2EtN (17:2:1, 3×3 min), CH2Cl2 (3×3 min), DMF (2×3 min), CH2Cl2 (3×3 min), and MeOH (2×3 min). The substitution of the resin is determined on a 3 mg sample by measuring the absorbance of the dibenzofulvene adduct at 300 nm. The Fmoc group is removed using 20% piperidine in DMF (4 ml, 2×20 min) under Ar bubbling. The resin is then filtered and washed with DMF (6×3 min). For each coupling step, a solution of the β-amino acid (3 equiv.), BOP (3 equiv.) and HOBT (3 equiv.) in DMF (2 ml) and iPr2EtN (9 eq) are added successively to the resin and the suspension is mixed for 1 h under Ar. Monitoring of the coupling reaction is performed with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene-sulfonic acid (TNBS) (W. S. Hancock and J. E. Battersby, Anal. Biochem. (1976), 71, 260). In the case of a positive TNBS test (indicating incomplete coupling), the suspension is allowed to react for a further 1 h. The resin is then filtered and washed with DMF (3×3 min) prior to the following Fmoc deprotection step. After the removal of the last Fmoc protecting group, the resin is washed with DMF (6×3 min), CH2Cl2 (3×3 min), Et2O (3×3 min) and dried under vacuum for 3 h. Finally the peptides are cleaved from the resin using 2% TFA in CH2Cl2 (2 ml, 5×15 min) under Ar. The solvent is removed and the oily residues are triturated in ether to give the crude α-/β-polypeptides. The compounds are further purified by HPLC.
  • The compositions of the invention may be prepared by the synthetic chemical procedures described herein, as well as other procedures similar to those which may be used for making β-amino acid peptides. Such procedures include both solution and solid phase procedures, e.g., using either Boc or Fmoc methodologies. The compounds of the invention may be synthesized using solid phase synthesis techniques. Fmoc-N-Protected β-amino acids can be used to synthesize poly-α/β-peptides by conventional manual solid-phase synthesis procedures under standard conditions on any number of solid supports, including ortho-chloro-trityl chloride resin, Wang resin (NovaBiochem 0.75 mmol substitution) and Rink amid resin (NovaBiochem 0.55 mmol substitution). Resin is typically swelled in 100% DMF for 30 minutes then deprotected using 20% piperidine in DMF for 2 minutes at 80° (3×). Fmoc protected amino acids (natural or non-natural) can then be coupled to the resin using a cocktail of AA:HATU:DIEA:Resin (3:2.5:4:1, LiCL 0.8M final concentration) in DMF for 2 minutes at 70° (3×). The resin is then washed (3×) with DMF, DCM (dichloromethane) (3×) and again with DMF (3×) between deprotection and coupling steps. Monitoring of the coupling reaction is performed with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene-sulfonic acid (TNBS) (W. S. Hancock and J. E. Battersby, Anal. Biochem. (1976), 71, 260). In the case of a positive TNBS test (indicating incomplete coupling), the suspension is allowed to react for another three times. This process is repeated until the desired product has been achieved. After the removal of the last Fmoc protecting group, the resin is washed with DMF (3×), CH2Cl2 (3×) and DMF again (3×). The remaining free-amine group is then acetylated using a cocktail of DIEA:Ac2O (1:1) for 5 minutes at room temperature. Full-length peptides were then cleaved from solid support using TFA:TIS:H2O (95:2.5:2.5) for 150 minutes, precipitated in cold ethyl ether and lyophilized The polymer was reconstituted in a 1:1 solution of A:B (A: H20, 0.1% TFA) (B: 90:10:0.1 acetonitrile/H2O/TFA).
  • The compositions described herein may be prepared by successive amide bond-forming procedures in which amide bonds are formed between the β-amino group of a first β-amino acid residue or a precursor thereof and the α-carboxyl group of a second β-amino acid residue or α-amino acid residue or a precursor thereof. The amide bond-forming step may be repeated as many times, and with specific α-amino acid residues and/or β-amino acid residues and/or precursors thereof, as required to give the desired α/β-polypeptide. Also analogs comprising two, three, or more amino acid residues (α- or β-) may be joined together to yield larger analogs comprising any combination of α-, or β-amino acids. Cyclic compounds may be prepared by forming peptide bonds between the N-terminal and C-terminal ends of a previously synthesized linear polypeptide or through the disulfide crosslinking of sidechains of non-adjacent residues. β3-amino acids may be produced enantioselectively from corresponding β-amino acids. For instance, by Arndt-Eisert homologation of N-protected α-amino acids. Homologation may be followed by coupling of the reactive diazoketone intermediate of the Wolff rearrangement with a β-amino acid residue.
  • In some embodiments, the analog of the invention comprises a repeating pattern of the β-amino acid residues in alignment on a longitudinal axis of the analog in order to constrain the conformation of the analog in an active state or to avoid disruption of the active site. That is, in the folded structure adopted by the analogs of the present invention, the repeating pattern of α- or β-amino acids residues disposes the synthetic non-natural amino acid residues in alignment along one longitudinal axis of the folded molecular structure from N-terminus to C-terminus when the unnatural polypeptides adopt a helical conformation. In some embodiments, the analog of the invention comprises the alignment of β-amino acids or ACPC or APC along a longitudinal axis of the folded molecular structure from N-terminus to C-terminus when the polypeptide adopts a helical conformation chosen from any of the conformations shown in FIG. 5, wherein the residue positions in a solid dot represent non-natural amino acid residues. In some embodiments, the analog of the invention comprises the alignment along a longitudinal axis of the folded molecular structure from N-terminus to C-terminus when the polypeptide adopts a helical conformation chosen from any of the conformations shown in FIG. 5, wherein the positions with solid dots represent β3-amino acid residues.

  • Another embodiment of the invention includes analogs of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. The central role of platelet-rich thrombus in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) is well-known. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (Gp IIb/IIIa) receptor analogs, agonist analogs and antagonist analogs can be used as potent modulators of platelet function that may be expected to affect favorably the natural history of ACSs.

  • Apo-lipoprotein A-I analogs, agonist analogs and antagonist analogs may increase the HDL levels of subjects upon administration. Analogs of the present invention that are homologous to Apo-lipoprotein A-I may be useful to treat or prevent liver disease and inflammatory diseases including but not limited to artherosclerosis. Analogs of the present invention that are homologous to Apo-lipoprotein A-I may be useful to increase the amount of formation of pre-β1 HDL in human plasma.
  • The cytokine analogs of the present invention may treat or prevent autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, and dysfunctional growth or differentiation of cells such as cellular proliferative disorders, the development of neoplasia, tumors, and cancer.
  • The present invention provides for the use of an antibody or binding composition which specifically binds to a specified analog. in some embodiments the antibody specifically binds the analog derived from a mammalian polypeptide, e.g., a polypeptide derived from a primate, human, cat, dog, rat, or mouse. Antibodies can be raised to various analogs, including individual, polymorphic, allelic, strain, or species variants, and fragments thereof, both in their naturally occurring (full-length) forms or in their synthetic forms. Additionally, antibodies can be raised to the analogs in their inactive state or active state. Anti-idiotypic antibodies may also be used.
  • A number of immunogens may be selected to produce antibodies specifically reactive with ligand or receptor proteins. Synthetic analogs may serve as an immunogen for the production of monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies. Such antibodies may be used as antagonists or agonists for their targets modulating the disease state associated with the naturally occurring proteins and analogs listed above. Synthetic polypeptides of the claimed invention may also be used either in pure or impure form. Synthetic peptides, made using the appropriate protein sequences, may also be used as an immunogen for the production of antibodies. Naturally folded or denatured material can be used, as appropriate, for producing antibodies. Either monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies may be generated, e.g., for subsequent use in immunoassays to measure the protein, or for immunopurification methods. Methods of producing polyclonal antibodies are well known to those of skill in the art.
  • Typically, an immunogen, such as a purified analog of the invention, is mixed with an adjuvant and animals are immunized with the mixture. The animal's immune response to the immunogen preparation is monitored by taking test bleeds and determining the titer of reactivity to the protein of interest. For example, when appropriately high titers of antibody to the immunogen are obtained, usually after repeated immunizations, blood is collected from the animal and antisera are prepared. Further fractionation of the antisera to enrich for antibodies reactive to the protein can be performed if desired. See, e.g., Harlow and Lane; or Coligan. Immunization can also be performed through other methods, e.g., DNA vector immunization. See, e.g., Wang, et al. (1997) Virology 228:278-284.
  • Monoclonal antibodies may be obtained by various techniques familiar to researchers skilled in the art. Typically, spleen cells from an animal immunized with a desired analog are immortalized, commonly by fusion with a myeloma cell. See, Kohler and Milstein (1976) Eur. J. Immunol. 6:511-519. Alternative methods of immortalization include transformation with Epstein Barr Virus, oncogenes, or retroviruses, or other methods known in the art. See, e.g., Doyle, et al. (eds. 1994 and periodic supplements) Cell and Tissue Culture: Laboratory Procedures, John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y. Colonies arising from single immortalized cells are screened for production of antibodies of the desired specificity and affinity for the antigen, and yield of the monoclonal antibodies produced by such cells may be enhanced by various techniques, including injection into the peritoneal cavity of a vertebrate host. Alternatively, one may isolate DNA sequences which encode a monoclonal antibody or a binding fragment thereof by screening a DNA library from human B cells according, e.g., to the general protocol outlined by Huse, et al. (1989) Science 246:1275-1281.
  • Antibodies or binding compositions, including binding fragments, single chain antibodies, Fv, Fab, single domain VH, disulfide-bridged Fv, single-chain Fv or F(ab′)2 fragments of antibodies, diabodies, and triabodies against predetermined fragments of the analogs can be raised by immunization of animals with analogs or conjugates of analogs or receptor proteins with carrier proteins. Monoclonal antibodies are prepared from cells secreting the desired antibody. These antibodies can be screened for binding to analogs described herein. These monoclonal antibodies will usually bind with at least a KD of about 1 mM, usually at least about 300 μM, typically at least about 10 μM, at least about 30 μM, at least about 10 μM, and at least about 3 μM or more. These antibodies can be screened for binding to the naturally occurring polypeptides upon which the analogs are derived.
  • In some instances, it is desirable to prepare monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from various mammalian hosts, such as mice, rodents, primates, humans, etc. Description of techniques for preparing such monoclonal antibodies may be found in, e.g., Stites, et al. (eds.) Basic and Clinical Immunology, 4th ed., Lange Medical Publications, Los Altos, Calif., and references cited therein; Harlow and Lane (1988) Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual CSH Press; Goding (1986) Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Practice, 2nd ed., Academic Press, New York, N.Y.; and particularly in Kohler and Milstein (1975) Nature 256:495-497, which discusses one method of generating monoclonal antibodies. Summarized briefly, this method involves injecting an animal with an analog described herein. The animal is then sacrificed and cells taken from its spleen, which are then fused with myeloma cells. The result is a hybrid cell or “hybridoma” that is capable of reproducing in vitro. The population of hybridomas is then screened to isolate individual clones, each of which secrete a single antibody species to the analog. In this manner, the individual antibody species obtained are the products of immortalized and cloned single B cells from the immune animal generated in response to a specific site recognized on the immunogenic substance.
  • Other suitable techniques involve selection of libraries of antibodies in phage or similar vectors. See, e.g., Huse, et al. (1989) Science 246:1275-1281; and Ward, et al. (1989) Nature 341:544-546. The polypeptides and antibodies of the present invention may be used with or without modification, including chimeric or humanized antibodies. Frequently, the polypeptides and antibodies will be labeled by joining, either covalently or non-covalently, a substance which provides for a detectable signal. A wide variety of labels and conjugation techniques are known and are reported extensively in both the scientific and patent literature. Suitable labels include radionuclides, enzymes, substrates, cofactors, inhibitors, fluorescent moieties, chemiluminescent moieties, magnetic particles, and the like. Patents teaching the use of such labels include U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,817,837; 3,850,752; 3,939,350; 3,996,345; 4,277,437; 4,275,149; and 4,366,241. Also, recombinant immunoglobulins may be produced, see, Cabilly, U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; and Queen, et al. (1989) Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 86:10029-10033; or made in transgenic mice, see Mendez, et al. (1997) Nature Genetics 15:146-156; also see Abgenix and Medarex technologies.
  • The instant invention is related to pharmaceutical compositions of the instant invention or the pharmaceutical acceptable salts derived therefrom that comprise analogs that comprise isotopes. In some embodiments, the compositions of the claimed invention may contain any isotope described in Cyr and Pearson (Stabilization of radiopharmaceutical compositions using hydrophilic thioethers and hydrophilic 6-hydroxy chromans Cyr, John E.; Pearson, Daniel A. (Diatide, Inc., USA). PCT Int. Appl. (2002), WO 200260491 A2 20020808), which is herein incorporated by reference. In some embodiments the compositions of the invention comprise analog that comprise one or more of the following isotopes: 125I, 131I, 211At, 47Sc, 67Cu, 72Ga, 90Y, 153Sm, 159Gd, 165Dy, 166Ho, 175Yb, 177Lu, 212Bi, 213Bi, 68Ga, 99Tc, 111In, 123I, and 3H.
  • The pharmaceutical compositions of the instant invention or the pharmaceutical acceptable salts derived therefrom may be in a liquid or solid dosage form. Such compositions may include any type of dosage form such as tablets, capsules, powders, liquid formulations, delayed or sustained release, patches, snuffs, nasal sprays and the like. The formulations may additionally include other ingredients such as dyes, preservatives, buffers and anti-oxidants, for example The physical form and content of the pharmaceutical formulations contemplated are conventional preparations that can be formulated by those skilled in the pharmaceutical formulation field and are based on well established principles and compositions described in, for example, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 19th Edition, 1995; British Pharmacopoeia 2000, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. The compositions of the present invention may also include other active agents useful in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions. Solid forms can be prepared according to any means suitable in the art. For example, capsules are prepared by mixing the analog composition with a suitable diluent and filling the proper amount of the mixture in capsules. Tablets are prepared by direct compression, by wet granulation, or by dry granulation. Their formulations usually incorporate diluents, binders, lubricants and disintegrators as well as the compound. Diluents, but are not limited to, include various types of starch, cellulose, crystalline cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, fructose, sucrose, mannitol or other sugar alcohols, kaolin, calcium phosphate or sulfate, inorganic salts such as sodium chloride and powdered sugar. Powdered cellulose derivatives are also useful. Non-limiting examples of tablet binders include, but are not limited to, starches, gelatin and sugars such as lactose, fructose, glucose and the like. Natural and synthetic gums are also convenient, including, but are not limited to, acacia, alginates, methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone and the like. Polyethylene glycol, ethylcellulose and waxes can also serve as binders.
  • A lubricant can be used in a tablet formulation to prevent the tablet and punches from sticking in the die. The lubricant include, but are not limited to, such slippery solids as talc, magnesium and calcium stearate, stearic acid and hydrogenated vegetable oils.
  • Tablets can be coated with sugar as a flavor and sealant, or with film-forming protecting agents to modify the dissolution properties of the tablet. The compounds may also be formulated as chewable tablets, by using large amounts of pleasant-tasting substances such as mannitol in the formulation, as is now well-established in the art.
  • Also contemplated are liquid formulations and solid form preparations which are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations. Such liquid forms include, but are not limited to, solutions, suspensions, syrups, slurries, and emulsions. Liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g., sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats or oils); emulsifying agents (e.g., lecithin or acacia); non-aqueous vehicles (e.g., almond oil, oily esters, or fractionated vegetable oils); and preservatives (e.g., methyl or propyl-p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid). These preparations may contain, in addition to the active agent, colorants, flavors, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the like. The compositions may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle such as sterile water, saline solution, or alcohol, before use. Preparations may also contain mucosal enhancers.
  • In some embodiments, the oral transmucosal solid dosage further comprises a permeation enhancer. In some embodiments, the permeation enhancer is chosen from: a bile salt, sodium dodecyl sulfate, dimethyl sulfoxide, sodium lauryl sulfate, a derivative of a saturated or a unsaturated fatty acid, a surfactant, a bile salt analog, and a derivative of a bile salt. In some embodiments the oral transmucosal dosage form is chosen from: a chewing gum, a patch, a lozenge, a lozenge-on-a-handle, a tablet, a troche, a pastille, a sachet, a sublingual tablet, and a rapid disintegrating tablet. In some embodiments, the oral transmucosal solid dosage form of wherein the composition further comprises at least one flavoring agent, artificial coloring, sweetener, lubricating agent, disintegration agent, lubricating agent, diluent, base, or buffering agent. In some embodiments, the oral transmucosal solid dosage form further comprises a sustained release agent. The invention is directed to an oral transmucosal solid dosage form comprising from wherein the concentration of analog is from about 0.01% to about 90% of the dry matter weight of the composition.
  • Solid dosage forms such as lozenges and tablets may also be used for oral transmucosal delivery of pharmaceuticals. For example, nitroglycerin sublingual tablets have been on the market for many years. The sublingual tablets are designed to deliver small amounts of the potent nitroglycerin, which is almost immediately dissolved and absorbed. On the other hand, most lozenges or tablets are typically designed to dissolve in the mouth over a period of at least several minutes which allows extended dissolution of the lozenge and absorption of the drug.
  • Administration of lozenges or sublingual tablets generally utilize an “open” delivery system, in which the drug delivery conditions are influenced by the conditions of the surrounding environment, such as rate of saliva secretion, pH of the saliva, or other conditions beyond the control of the formulation.
  • A lozenge-on-a-handle (similar to a lollipop) is another dosage form suitable for transmucosal drug delivery. In addition to being non-invasive and providing a particularly easy method of delivery, the lozenge-on-a-handle (or lozenge with an integrated oral transmucosal applicator) dosage form allows a patient or caregiver to move the dosage form in and out of the mouth to titrate the dose. This practice is called dose-to-effect, in which a patient or caregiver controls the administration of the dose until the expected therapeutic effect is achieved. This is particularly important for certain symptoms, such as pain, nausea, motion sickness, and premedication prior to anesthesia because each patient needs a different amount of medication to treat these symptoms. For these types of treatments, the patient is the only one who knows how much medication is enough. Once the appropriate amount of drug is delivered, the patient or caregiver can remove the lozenge-on-a-handle, thus, stopping delivery of the drug. This feature is especially important for particularly potent drugs, which may present a significant advantage of terminating drug administration once the desired effect is achieved.
  • As used herein, the term “oral transmucosal delivery” (OTD) refers to the delivery of a pharmaceutical agent across a mucous membrane in the oral cavity, pharyngeal cavity, or esophagus, and may be contrasted, for example, with traditional oral delivery, in which absorption of the drug occurs in the intestines. Accordingly, routes of administration in which the pharmaceutical agent is absorbed through the buccal, sublingual, gingival, pharyngeal, and/or esophageal mucosa are all encompassed within “oral transmucosal delivery,” as that term is used herein. Oral transmucosal delivery involves the administration of an oral transmucosal solid dosage form to the oral cavity of a patient, which is held in the oral cavity and dissolved, thereby releasing the pharmaceutical agent for oral transmucosal delivery. Of course, as the solid dosage form dissolves in the oral cavity, some of the saliva containing the pharmaceutical agent may be swallowed, and a portion of the drug may ultimately be absorbed from the intestines.
  • The compositions of the invention can be administered in a sustained release composition, such as those described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,672,659 and 5,595,760, and herein incorporate by reference. The use of immediate or sustained release compositions depends on the type of condition being treated.

Alternatively, the pharmaceutical composition may be introduced by various means into cells that are removed from the individual. Such means include, for example, microprojectile bombardment and liposome or other nanoparticle device.
  • Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders and granules. In solid dosage forms, the analogs are generally admixed with at least one inert pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as sucrose, lactose, starch, or other generally regarded as safe (GRAS) additives. Such dosage forms can also comprise, as is normal practice, an additional substance other than an inert diluent, e.g., lubricating agent such as magnesium state.

  • One of skill in the art will recognize that the appropriate dosage of the compositions and pharmaceutical compositions may vary depending on the individual being treated and the purpose. For example, the age, body weight, and medical history of the individual patient may affect the therapeutic efficacy of the therapy. Further, a lower dosage of the composition may be needed to produce a transient cessation of symptoms, while a larger dose may be needed to produce a complete cessation of symptoms associated with the disease, disorder, or indication. A competent physician can consider these factors and adjust the dosing regimen to ensure the dose is achieving the desired therapeutic outcome without undue experimentation. It is also noted that the clinician and/or treating physician will know how and when to interrupt, adjust, and/or terminate therapy in conjunction with individual patient response. Dosages may also depend on the strength of the particular analog chosen for the pharmaceutical composition.

No. 5,188,835 to Lindskoget al., assigned to Kabi Pharmacia AB), or within a tampon, suppository, sponge, pillow, puff, or osmotic pump system; these platforms are useful solely for vaginal delivery. Ointments are semisolid preparations that are typically based on petrolatum or other petroleum derivatives. The specific ointment base to be used, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, is one that will provide for optimum drug delivery. As with other carriers or vehicles, an ointment base should be inert, stable, non irritating and nonsensitizing. As explained in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, supra, at pages 1034-1038, ointment bases may be grouped in four classes: oleaginous bases; emulsifiable bases; emulsion bases; and water-soluble bases. Oleaginous ointment bases include, for example, vegetable oils, fats obtained from animals, and semisolid hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. Emulsifiable ointment bases, also known as absorbent ointment bases, contain little or no water and include, for example, hydroxystearin sulfate, anhydrous lanolin and hydrophilic petrolatum. Emulsion ointment bases are either water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions or oil-in-water (0/W) emulsions, and include, for example, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, lanolin and stearic acid. Suitable water-soluble ointment bases are prepared from polyethylene glycols of varying molecular weight; again, reference may be had to Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy for further information.

  • EXAMPLES Example 1: Chemical Scheme to Synthesize Helical Polypeptides
  • This example describes how the polypeptide analogs may be designed prior to manufacture. The sequence of human vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is given below, using the standard one-letter code for proteinogenic amino acid residues. For purposes of interpretation “position 1” of the sequence below is the N-terminal histidine. Each amino acid residue is numbered in sequence from the N-terminal end of the polypeptide to the C-terminal. Therefore, “position 28” of the sequence below is the C-terminal asparagine.

  • In each of sequences above, at least one β-3 residue has been replaced by a cyclic or heterocyclic residue. In some embodiments, based upon the above sequences, X=ACPC, Z=APC; uncharged side chains replaced by ACPC, basic side chains replaced by APC, Protected β3-amino acids); the positions indicated with bold and underlined letters are those at which β-to-β3 replacement has occurred. Reagents for α/β-Peptide synthesis (Fmoc on the backbone nitrogen and appropriate protecting groups on side chains, when necessary) will be obtained from commercial suppliers or prepared via reported methods in Horne et. al. PNAS, Sep. 1, 2009, vol. 106, no. 35, 14751-14756. Each β3-amino acid residue bore the side chain of the β-amino acid found at that site in the VIP sequence. Thus, for example, analogues that contain a β-residue at position 10 of the sequence had a β3-homotyrosine at this position, in place of the tyrosine at position 10 of VIP itself. The analogues shown above were synthesized manually by microwave-assisted Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis on NovaSyn TGR resin. Coupling steps were carried out with a three-fold excess of the appropriate protected α- or β3-amino acid, using HBTU and HOBt to mediate amide bond formation. Piperidine was used for Fmoc deprotection steps. Each peptide was cleaved from resin by treatment with 94:2.5:2.5 TFA/H2O/triisopropylsilane, precipitated by addition of cold ethyl ether, and purified by reverse phase HPLC on a prep-C18 column using gradients between 0.1% TFA in water and 0.1% TFA in acetonitrile. The identity and purity of the HSDAVFTDNYXRLZKQLXVKZYLNXILN (Compound 8) was determined by MALDI-TOF-MS and analytical HPLC, respectively. Data from the MALDI-TOF-MS analysis showing the expected mass values is shown in FIG. 1. The sample was examined by MALDI-TOF to determine molecular weight. A 50:50 mixture of acetonitrile/water was used to dissolve alpha cyano-cinnamic acid matrix together with a 5 uM aliquot of sample. The sample was dried on an appropriate sample plate and examined in positive, reflectron mode with a 25 KV voltage, 100 mV electronic gain and a laser frequency of 60 Hz. The resulting spectra demonstrated an observed mass (mass/charge, m/z) of 3351.4 which compares favorably with the expected mass of 3350.79. In addition, the observed doubly charged species, (Z=2) of 1675.684 was also observed and compares favorably to the expected ‘+2’ peak of 1675.395.
  • Design B (prophetic). A family of analogues will be prepared, each containing two alpha to β3 replacements per seven α-amino acid residues of VIP. Each β3-amino acid residue will bear the side chain of the α-amino acid found at that site in the VIP sequence. Thus, for example, analogues that contain a β-residue at position 4 of the sequence will have β3-homoalanine at this position, in place of the alanine at position 4 of VIP itself. The analogues to be prepared are shown below; the positions indicated with bold and underlined letters are those at which α-to-β3 replacement has occurred.

Samples of each peptide were prepared with a determined UV absorbance in the range of 0.1-1.0 at 280 nm in a phosphate-buffered solution at a pH of 7.5 for a final concentration of about 14 μM. The analogue was transferred a 0.1 cm path length cell for measurement. Wavelength scans were carried out with a 1 nm step and 8 sec averaging time, in quadruplicate at 23° C. All spectra were corrected against buffer measured in the same cell.
  • The data of FIG. 2 demonstrate the expected circular dichroism measurements of an alpha-beta hybrid polypeptide. The results are consistent with previously published data of an alpha-beta hybrid polypeptide that has similar backbone length and similar beta-amino acid percent and similar sample concentration.
  • Structural Analysis B (Prophetic)
  • This prophetic example describes how the polypeptide analogs of this invention may be characterized after manufacture through structural conformational assays such as circular dichroism (CD) and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
  • Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy. Circular dichroism measurements will be carried out on an Aviv 202SF Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometer. Samples of each peptide will be prepared with a determined UV absorbance in the range of 0.1-1.0 at 280 nm in a pH buffered solution. Spectra will be recorded in a 1 mm cell with a step size of 1 nm and an averaging time of 5 sec. All spectra will be background corrected against buffer measured in the same cell. Thermal melts will be carried out in 1-degree increments with an equilibration time of 2 min between each temperature change. Thermal unfolding data will be fit to a simple two state folding model Shortle, D. Meeker, A. K. Freire, E. Biochemistry 1988, 27, 4761-4768) using GraphPad Prism.
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance: Structure elucidation of the proposed analogs can also be accomplished based on analyses of heteronuclear NMR experimental data. Global backbone structural information complementing the local structure information provided by backbone chemical-shift assignments can be obtained from nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) which yield atomic distance constraints together with residual dipolar coupling (RDC) experiments which provide orientation restraint information. Together, these techniques can be used to provide valuable structural information regarding the positioning and alignment of the amino acids within the polypeptide analog. Samples of each peptide or analog will be prepared with a determined UV absorbance in the range of 0.1-1.0 at 280 nm in an appropriate pH buffered solution. Each preparation will then be used to conduct NOESY and RDC experiments using standard NMR equipment (i.e. Bruker NMR) and data analysis software (i.e. Talos+). Further structural insight can be ascertained by comparing the results of NMR experiments in the presence and absence of the intended binding partner.
  • One purpose of this study is to evidence that the conformation of the analog is structurally constrained and that certain non-natural amino acids have been incorporated in the synthesized peptide in their predicted location along a longitudinal axis of the polypeptide.
  • Example 3: Stability Analysis of Helical Polypeptides in Solution (Prophetic)
  • This prophetic example describes how the solubility of the polypeptide analogs of this invention may be characterized after manufacture through assays such as a protease resistance assay.
  • In Vitro Stability Assay: Stock solutions of the both the naturally occurring peptides as well as peptide analogs will be prepared at a concentration of 25 μM (based on UV absorbance) in appropriate buffer. A solution of proteinase K in addition to other common animal proteases (i.e. Cathepsins and Trypsins) will be prepared at an appropriate concentration of 50 μg/mL (based on weight to volume) in appropriate buffer. For each proteolysis reaction, 40 μL of peptide stock will be mixed with 10 μL of protease stock. The reaction will be allowed to proceed at room temperature and quenched at the desired time point by addition of 100 μL of 1% TFA in water. 125 μL of the resulting quenched reaction will be injected onto an analytical reverse phase HPLC, and the amount of starting peptide present quantified by integration of the appropriate chromatogram peak via absorbance at either 220 or 280 nm. Duplicate reactions will be run for each time point. Half-lives will be determined by fitting time dependent peptide concentration to an exponential decay using GraphPad Prism. Samples for some time points will be analyzed by MALDI-MS, and the products observed will be used to identify amide bonds cleaved in the course of the reaction. The relative stability enhancement will be determined through the comparison of the various analogs with its naturally occurring peptide counterpart.
  • In Vivo Stability Assay: To investigate the in vivo stability of the analogs, both the naturally occurring peptide as well as the analogs will be administered to mice and/or rats by IV, IP, SC, PO and/or inhalation routes at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 50 mg/kg and blood specimens withdrawn at 0 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hr, 4 hrs, 8 hrs, 12 hrs, 24 hrs and 48 hrs post-injection. Levels of intact compound in 25 μL of fresh serum will then be injected onto an analytical reverse phase HPLC, and the amount of starting peptide present quantified by integration of the appropriate chromatogram peak via absorbance at either 220 or 280 nm or other means of measuring the presence or absence of fully intact analog as described herein. The expected molecular weights will be determined through either LC/MS or MALDI/TOF analysis. This analysis technique also allows the examination of the in-vivo metabolites by determination of fragment molecular weights. The relative stability enhancement will be determined through the comparison of the various analogs with its naturally occurring peptide counterpart.
  • Cassette Dosing and Serum Analysis for Determination of Bioavailability: The oral bioavailability will be screened by dosing rats with a cassette, i.e. mixture of 1-5 analogs per dosing solution. The cassette includes 1-5 test articles and a standard compound, for a total dose of 10 mg/kg. Each compound/test article will be converted to an appropriate salt form and dissolved in water at 2 mg/mL. The cassette will be prepared by mixing equal volumes of each of the two-six solutions. The cassette dosing solution should be mixed well and then the pH should be adjusted to 7.5-9. The dosing solution should be prepared the day before the study and stirred overnight at room temperature.
  • Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, 6-8 weeks old, will be used in this screen. Rats will be quarantined for at least one day and have continuous access to food and water. On the night before the administration of the cassette, the rats will be fasted for approximately 16 h.
  • Four SD rats will be assigned in each cassette. A single dose of the dosing solution will be administered orally to each rat. The dosing volume (5 mL/kg) and time will then be recorded and rats will be fed 2 h after dosing.
  • Blood samples will be collected via cardiac puncture at the following time points: 4 h, 8 h and 12 h. Immediately prior to blood collection, rats will be anesthetized with CO2 gas within 10-20 seconds. After the 12-hour samples are collected, the rats will be euthanized via CO2 asphyxiation followed by cervical dislocation.
  • Blood samples will be kept in heparinized microtainer tubes under subambient temperature (4° C.) before they are processed. Blood samples will be centrifuged (10,000 rpm for 5 minutes) and plasma samples should be removed and stored in a −20° C. freezer until analyzed for analog levels. Analog levels in the plasma will be analyzed using the following protocol for direct plasma precipitation.
  • The in vivo plasma samples will be prepared in a 1.5 mL 96-well plate, by adding, in order, 100 μL of the test plasma, 150 μl of methanol, followed by vortexing for 10-20 seconds. 150 μL of 0.05 ng/μL of an Internal Standard in acetonitrile shall be added and vortexed for 30 seconds.
  • The standard curve samples were prepared in a 1.5 mL 96-well plate, by adding, in order, 100 μL of control mouse plasma, followed by 150 μL of methanol and vortexing for 10-20 seconds. 150 μL of 0.05 ng/μL of an Internal Standard in acetonitrile shall be added and vortexed for 30 seconds. The samples will then be spiked with 0-200 ng (10 concentrations) of the compound of interest in 50% methanol to obtain a standard curve range of 0.5 ng/mL to 2,000 ng/mL. Again, the sample is vortexed for 30 seconds.
  • The samples should then be centrifuged for 20-30 minutes at 3,000 rpm in an Eppendorf microfuge before 80-90% of supernatant is transferred into a clean 96-well plate. The organic solvent will then be evaporated until the samples are dry (under N2 at 40° C./30-60 min (ZymarkTurbovap)).
  • The residue will then be dissolved in 200-600 L mobile phase (50% CH3OH/0.1% TFA). LC/MS/MS will then be run using a mass spectrometer with pump. Data analysis and quantification accomplished using PE-Sciex Analyst (v 1.1). A 5-50 μl sample volume will be injected onto a reverse phase column (Keystone 2.0×20 mm, 5 μm, PN: 8823025-701) using a mobile phase of 25% CH3OH, 0.1% TFA-100% CH3OH, 0.1% TFA. The run time will be about 8 minutes at a flow rate of about 300p L/minutes. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) will be calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule from t=0 to the last plasma concentration sampling time tx (see Handbook of Basic Pharmacokinetics, Wolfgang A. Ritschel and Gregory L. Kearns, 5th ed, 1999). AUC0-tx=.SIGMA.0-n((CnCn+1)/2))(tn+1−tn) {in (μg/mL)h}
  • In the case of the cassette dosing paradigm, samples at 4, 8 and 12 h post extravascular dosing, the AUC will be calculated from t=0 to t=12 h. Each of the analogs above when tested in this assay should provide for an AUC of at least 5 μgh/mL when normalized for administration at a 10 mg/kg dose.
  • One purpose of this study is to evidence that the analog is more resistant to peptidases as compared to the resistance of similarly-structured, naturally occurring polypeptides upon which the structure of the analog is based or derived. The results may show that, when treated with the same proteolytic enzymes, the analogs of the invention will resist degradation and have longer half-lives than similarly-structured, naturally occurring polypeptides upon which the structure of the analog is based or derived.
  • Example 4: Functional Analysis of Helical Polypeptides
  • This prophetic example describes the function of polypeptide analogs of this invention may be characterized after manufacture through assays that measure bioactivity of the analogs when exposed to tissue culture or when administered to an animal model of one of the following human disease states: COPD, pulmonary hypertension, primary arterial hypertension, pulmonary hypertension associated to post-ventricular septal defect, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, CREST syndrome—Calcinosis; Raynaud's disease; loss of muscle control of the Esophagus; Sclerodactyly; Telangiectasia, Acute respiratory distress, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructed pulmonary disorder, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sarcoidosis, small cell lung cancer, autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, sepsis, Hirschsprung's Disease, sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, circadian rhythm dysfunction, pain, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular cancer, elevated blood pressure levels, elevated blood glucose levels, elevated blood pressure levels, hyperglycemia, diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic acidosis, obesity, Type I diabetes, Type II diabetes Multiple Sclerosis, osteoporosis, Sjogren's syndrome, pancreatitis, uveoretinitis, osteoporosis, female sexual dysfunction.
  • In Vitro Binding Assay 1: A VIP analogue (Compound 8) in appropriate phosphate buffer was at pH of 7.5 was exposed to a functional assay in parallel with wild-type VIP proteins. cAMP Hunter cell lines expressing VIPR1 and VIPR2 were expanded from freezer stocks in T25 flasks according to standard procedures and maintained in selective growth media prior to assay. Once it was established that the cells were healthy and growing normally, cells were passaged from flasks using cell dissociation reagent buffer and seeded into white walled clear bottom 384-well microplates for compound profiling. For profiling, cells were seeded at a density of 10,000 cells per well in a total volume of 20 μL and were allowed to adhere and recover overnight prior to compound addition. cAMP modulation was determined using the DiscoveRx HitHunter cAMP XS+ assay.
  • For profiling compound in agonist mode, the cells were incubated in the presence of compound at 37° C. for 30 minutes. Cells expressing both VIPR1 and VIPR2 were exposed to serial dilutions of wild-type VIP and separate samples of the same type of cells were exposed to serial dilutions of VIP analogue (Compound 8) to determine EC50 values of the analogue as compared to wild-type VIP (FIG. 3). After appropriate compound incubation, assay signal was generated through incubation with DiscoverX lysis cocktail according to the manufacturers standard protocol. Dose curves were plotted using GraphPad Prism or Activity Base. Percentage activity is calculated using the following formula:

  • % Activity=100% ×(mean RLU of test sample−mean RLU of vehicle control)/(mean RLU of MAX control−mean RLU of vehicle control).
  • Data from FIG. 3 demonstrates that Compound 8 was able to fully activate VIPR1, but not activate VIPR2. The following EC50 values were measured (peptide concentration for 50% VIPR1 activation):
  • VIP: 0.4 nM
  • Compound 8: 28 nM
  • Compound 8 apparently does not interact substantially with VIPR2. Raw fluorescence data of measurements taken from the agonist binding experiments performed in triplicate appears below in Table 5.

  • In Vitro Competition Assay 1: Antagonist Dose curves were calculated by first providing a VIP analogue (Compound 8) in appropriate phosphate buffer at pH of 7.5. Cells expressing both VIPR1 and VIPR2 were exposed to serial dilutions of VIP analogue (Compound 8) in combination with wild-type VIP to determine the level of inhibition of VIPR1 and VIPR2 (FIG. 4). cAMP Hunter cell lines expressing VIPR1 and VIPR2 were expanded from freezer stocks in T25 flasks according to standard procedures and maintained in selective growth media prior to assay. For profiling, cells were seeded according to manufacturer protocol using a cAMP modulation assay with the DiscoveRx HitHunter cAMP XS+ assay.
  • Before treatment of the cells, media was aspirated from cells and replaced with DiscoverX antibody solution according to their standard protocol. Agonist dose curves were performed to determine the EC80 value for the following antagonist testing with compounds. For antagonist determination, cells were pre incubated with Compound 8 followed by VIP challenge at the EC80 concentration of 2.2 nM. 5 μL of 4× Compound 8 was added to cells and incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes. 5 μL of 4× EC80 VIP agonist was added to cells and incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes.
  • After appropriate compound incubation, assay signal was generated through incubation with DiscoverX lysis cocktail according to the manufacturers standard protocol. Dose curves were plotted using GraphPad Prism or Activity Base. Dose curves were plotted using GraphPad Prism or Activity Base. FIG. 4, Panel A, shows a percent inhibition of VIPR1 by Compound 8. For antagonist mode assays, percentage inhibition is calculated using the following formula:

  • % Inhibition=100% ×(1 (mean RLU of test sample−mean RLU of vehicle control)/(mean RLU of EC80 control−mean RLU of vehicle control)).
  • Data shown in FIG. 4 was normalized to the maximal and minimal response observed in the presence of EC80 ligand and vehicle respectively. The decrease in inhibition observed in FIG. 4, Panel A, is related to agonist activity and receptor selectivity of VIPR1. FIG. 4, Panel B, shows a percent inhibition of VIPR2 by Compound 8. Raw fluorescence data from the binding experiments performed in duplicate appears below in Table 6.

  • In Vitro Binding Assay 2: The analogs of the present invention will be serially diluted into aqueous solutions with appropriate buffer. The various concentrations of analogs will be administered to a plurality of cells in culture that expresses relevant naturally occurring receptor family for the naturally occurring polypeptide upon which the analog is derived. In one method of detection, VPAC1 CHO-K1 Division Arrested (DA) cells or VPAC1-CRE-β-lactamase CHO-K1 cells (10,000 cells/well) are plated in a 384-well format and incubated for 16-20 hours. Cells can then be stimulated with a dilution series of each Secretin analog in the presence of 0.5% DMOS for 5 hours. Cells can then be loaded with an engineered fluorescent substrate containing two fluoroprobes, coumarin and fluorescein (2 uM final concentration if CCF4AM and 1 mM solution D) for two hours. In the absence of β-lactamase expression, the substrate molecule remains intact. In this state, excitation of the coumarin results in fluorescence resonance energy transfer to the fluorescein moiety and emission of green light (530 nm). However, in the presence of β-lactamase expression, the substrate is cleaved, thereby separating the fluorophores, and disrupting energy transfer. Excitation of the coumarin in the presence of enzyme β-lactamase activity results in a blue fluorescence signal (460 nm). Fluorescence emission values at 460 nm and 530 nm can be obtained using a standard fluorescence plate reader and plotted for each replicate against the concentration of analog present. The resulting blue:green ratio provides a normalized reporter response. The degree of β-lactamase expression is directly correlated to the stimulation of the specific receptor being interrogated. The particular receptor construct is covalently linked to a β-lactamase transcription factor, which is released upon receptor stimulation. Serially diluted analogs in the appropriate concentration of buffered solution (or medium alone as a control) will be added to individual wells together with cells expressing a specific receptor that is capable of β-lactamase production. A polypeptide that engages in competitive binding to the analog receptor, or medium only as a background control, will also be added to each well. After sufficient time, the wells will be inspected by light spectrometry to determine the relative light units, which serve a readout for receptor activation. Another mechanism for determining binding values is through the monitoring of a second messenger readout. For the intended receptor class, the detection of cAMP can be a direct indicator for receptor activation. Through the detection of cAMP (using known protocols) across a range of analog concentrations, the specific degree of receptor binding for each analog and concentration can be determined. The binding of the analog to receptor will be monitored by calculating the IC50 values in media. The signal of test wells will be normalized to that of control wells without inhibitor after background subtraction from both. The percent inhibition of activity will be expressed as a function of the log 10 concentration of any competitive inhibitor added to the system. A four-parameter sigmoid function will be fitted to the data in Prism. The R2 values for the fits will be determined Finally, the means±S.E.M. of the IC50 values from the individual fits of the three repeat experiments will be calculated.
  • In Vitro Binding Assay 3: The analogs of the present invention will be serially diluted into aqueous solutions with appropriate buffer. The various concentrations of analogs will be administered to a plurality of cells in culture that expresses relevant naturally occurring receptor family for the naturally occurring polypeptide upon which the analog is derived. The analogs will be administered to the cAMP Hunter™ eXpress CHO-K1 VIPR2 (DiscoveRx) cells according to the manufacturers suggested protocol. cAMP Hunter™ Detection Reagents will be used to detect the concentration of analog bound on the surface of the cells as a function of signal strength in the absence and presence of wild-type VIP provided as a control. Various EC50 values for the VIP analogs will be calculated per the manufacturer's recommended instructions.
  • In Vitro Selectivity Binding Assay: Binding assays: Membranes prepared from a stable VPAC2 cell line (such as a CHO--S cell line stably expressing human VPAC2 receptor or from cells transiently transfected with human VPAC1 or PAC1) are used. A filter binding assay is performed using 125I-labeled VIP for VPAC1 and VPAC2 and 125I-labeled PACAP-27 for PAC as the tracers. For this assay, the solutions and equipment include:
    • Presoak solution: 0.5% Polyethyleneamine in Aqua dest
    • Buffer for flushing filter plates: 25 mM HEPES pH 7.4
    • Blocking buffer: 25 mM HEPES pH 7.4; 0.2% protease free BSA
    • Assay buffer: 25 mM HEPES pH 7.4; 0.5% protease free BSA
    • Dilution and assay plate: PS-Microplate, U form
    • Filtration Plate Multiscreen FB Opaque Plate; 1.0 mM Type B Glasfiber filter
      In order to prepare the filter plates, the presoak solution will be aspirated by vacuum filtration. The plates will be flushed twice with 200 μL flush buffer. 200 μL blocking buffer will be added to the filter plate. The filter plate will then be incubated with 200 μL presoak solution for 1 hour at room temperature. The assay plate will be filled with 25 μL assay buffer, 25 μL membranes (2.5 pg) suspended in assay buffer, 25 μL agonist in assay buffer, and 25 μL tracer (about 40000 cpm) in assay buffer. The filled plate will be incubated for 1 hour with shaking. The transfer from assay plate to filter plate will be conducted. The blocking buffer will be aspirated by vacuum filtration and washed two times with flush buffer. 90 μL will be transferred from the assay plate to the filter plate. The 90 μL transferred from assay plate will be aspirated and washed three times with 200 μL flush buffer. The plastic support is removed. It is dried for 1 hour at 60° C. 30 μL Microscint will beaded. The count will be performed based upon analog affinity to VPAC1, VPAC2, or PAC1 receptors. IC50 and EC50 calculations will be performed based upon affinity scoring.
  • In Vivo Efficacy in Animal Models: To determine the activity of analogs of the invention in vivo as compared to the naturally occurring polypeptides upon which the analogs are derived, the analogs will be administered alone (IP, IV, SC, PO, by inhalation or nasal routes) or in combination with known active agent to monitor the above-mentioned disease states. Secretin family analogs alone or in combination with sub-optimal doses of relevant active agents for specific indications or disease states will be, for example, administered to an appropriate animal model mice (8-10 days after injection/day 1 of experiment) by tail vein or IP routes at doses ranging from 0.0001 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg for 1 to 21 days. Optionally, the mice will be assayed throughout the experiment with a selection marker relevant to the particular studies disease state every other day and survival monitored daily for the duration of the experiment. Expired mice will be optionally subjected to necropsy at the end of the experiment. These in vivo tests optionally generate preliminary pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and toxicology data.
  • Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis in Rats: Adjuvant induced arthritis (“AIA”) is an animal model useful in the study of rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”), which is induced by injecting M. tuberculosis in the base of the tail of Lewis rats. Between 10 and 15 days following injection, animals develop a severe, progressive arthritis.
  • Generally, analogs will be tested for their ability to alter hind paw swelling and bone damage resulting from adjuvant induced edema in rats. To quantitate the inhibition of hind paw swelling resulting from AIA, two phases of inflammation have been defined: (1) the primary and secondary injected hind paw, and (2) the secondary uninjected hind paw, which generally begins developing about eleven days from the induction of inflammation in the injected paw. Reduction of the latter type of inflammation is an indication of immunosuppressive activity. Cf. Chang, Arth. Rheum., 20, 1135-1141 (1977).
  • Using an animal model of RA, such as AIA, enables one to study the cellular events involved in the early stages of the disease. CD44 expression on macrophages and lymphocytes is up regulated during the early development of adjuvant arthritis, whereas LFA 1 expression is up regulated later in the development of the disease. Understanding the interactions between adhesion molecules and endothelium at the earliest stages of adjuvant arthritis could lead to significant advances in the methods used in the treatment of RA.
  • Collagen Induced Arthritis in Rats: To determine the efficacy of a representative analog of this invention administered by po bid dosing (Days (−1)-20) for inhibition of the inflammation, cartilage destruction and bone resorption that occurs in developing type II collagen arthritis in rats.
  • Animals: Female Lewis rats (Harlan), weighing 125-150 g on arrival. (inject subtotal of rats with collagen to get responders on days 10, 11, 12 for 6 groups of 10). The animals (a group for arthritis, a group for normal control), housed 4-5/cage, will be acclimated for 4-8 days. The animals will be dosed from about po1 mg/kg bid to po100 mg/kg bid.
  • Materials: Peptides or analogs in vehicle, Type II collagen, Freund's incomplete adjuvant, methotrexate (Sigma)
  • General Study Design: Dosing initiated on day minus 1. The acclimated animals will be anesthetized with isoflurane and given collagen injections (D0). On day 6 they will be anesthetized again for the second collagen injection. Collagen is prepared by making a 4 mg/mL solution in 0.01 N acetic acid. Equal volumes of collagen and Freund's incomplete adjuvant, will be emulsified by hand mixing until a bead of this material held its form when placed in water. Each animal will receive 300 uL of the mixture each time spread over 3 sites on back. Calipering of normal (pre-disease) right and left ankle joints are to be done approximately one day prior to the expected days on onset of disease.
  • Rats will be weighed on days (−) 1, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 of the study and caliper measurements of ankles taken every day beginning on day 9. Final body weights will be taken on day 20. After final body weight measurement, animals are to be anesthetized for terminal plasma collection and then euthanization. Both hind paws and knees will be removed. Hind paws will be weighed, placed (with knees) in formalin and then processed for microscopy.
  • Processing of Joints: Following 1-2 days in fixative and then 4-5 days in decalcifier, the ankle joints will be cut in half longitudinally, knees will be cut in half in the frontal plane, processed, embedded, sectioned and stained with toluidine blue.
    • Induction of Colitis in HLA-B27 Rats: The efficacy of the analogs of the present invention in reversing colitis can be determined in HLA-B27 transgenic rats. HLA-B27 transgenic rats have been utilized as an animal model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease which mimics Crohn's Disease in humans The rats overexpress the human MHC class I HLA-B27 heavy chain and beta-2 microglobulin proteins, which induces a variety of autoimmune diseases that include inflammation of the colon.
  • The therapeutic effect of the analogs described in this invention in terms of resolving colitis can be evaluated in HLA-B27 transgenic rats. Diseased rats will be dosed subcutaneously with 0.001-100 mg/kg of a single analog of this invention once or twice a day for 16 days or once per week for two weeks.
  • Disease Activity Index (DAI) scores will be used to determine the efficacy of each analog as compared to rats dosed with vehicle. In addition, fecal consistency and FOB scores for both rats dosed with analogs will be statistically compared to the vehicle group.
  • Induction of Colitis: 1-20 HLA-B27 (6-9 weeks old) transgenic rats will be acclimated in animal facility for 10 weeks. Animal bedding will be mixed from different cages once a week to control for a “dirty” environmental flora.
  • Treatments: Rats are to be enrolled and randomized into four groups (n=5) based on weight and DAI scores (FC.gtoreq.3, FOB.gtoreq.2). The experimental groups will be dosed subcutaneously with an analog 0.001-100 mg/kg once or twice a day for 16 days or once per week for two weeks and terminated at trough. The control groups include a vehicle-treated group and a GG5/3 (mouse anti-rat alpha-4 integrin antibody) positive control group dosed subcutaneously at 10 mg/kg (5 mL/kg) on d0, d3, and d6 and terminated at trough on d8. Fresh analog and vehicle treatments are to be formulated in advance of treatment.
  • Endpoint Read-outs: Disease Activity Index scores, Fecal Consistency test and Fecal Occult Blood test, are to be taken 4 times a week to generate in-life clinical scores. The primary read-out for the study is a histopathological analysis of cecum, proximal colon, mid-colon, and distal colon. An IBD scoring system was applied (Table H2). TABLE H2 IBD Scoring System Multiple Endpoints A Destruction of epithelium and glands B Dilatation of glandular crypts C Depletion and loss of goblet cells D Inflammatory cell infiltrates E Edema F Vascular congestion G Crypt Abscesses H Atrophia
  • Primary Arterial Hypertension animal model: 36 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (300-350 g in body weight were randomized for treatment 22 days after a s.c. injection of saline or 60 mg/kg MCT (Sigma-Aldrich) to induce pulmonary hypertension. In addition to a group of untreated rats, the experimental groups included rats that received either daily, weekly or monthly delivery of a secretin analog at an appropriate dose of (0.001-50 mg/kg or the delivery vehicle alone. On Day 22 a carotid/femoral artery will be accessed for arterial blood gases (systemic blood pressure can be monitored as well). Thoracotomy performed and right ventricle catheterized with a Millar catheter (or other appropriate catheter) which will be advanced to the pulmonary artery. Animals will have anesthesia induced and maintained on isoflurane through out the experiment. Rats will be intubated prior to surgical procedures. Hemodynamic measurements such as Pulmonary arterial pressure, systemic blood pressure (SAP, DAP, MAP) and heart rate are to be collected continuously via a Gould-Ponemah physiograph. Statistical analysis will be performed on all hemodynamic data. Arterial blood samples collected at protocol specified time points (up to 8 time points) for analysis of drug concentration and/or arterial blood gases. Animals euthanized after 30 minutes and lungs collected and snap frozen for shipment to the Sponsor. Lungs analyzed for levels of drug.
  • Animals are to be clinically observed once daily with body weight measured weekly. While some embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be appreciated that various changes can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
  • Small Cell Lung Cancer Model: Female athymic BALByc nude mice, 4-5 weeks old, will be housed in filter-top cages in a pathogenfree, temperature-controlled, laminar-flow, filtered-air, isolated room and will be exposed to light from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. NCI-H69 cells will be injected subcutaneously into the right flank of each mouse. There were four experimental groups, of four mice each, three of which will receive VIP and/or an analog of VIP (1.0, 5.0, or 10 mg/day) in PBS; as a control, the fourth will receive only PBS. All solutions will be infused for 8 weeks, beginning 1 week after injection of the cells, and delivered by i.v., i.p., subc., i.m. injection or osmotic pumps placed aseptically under the skin of the back of the mice. The pump will release its contents at a rate of 0.5 ml/h for a duration of 2 weeks. The spent pumps will be removed every 2 weeks, and new pumps, containing fresh solutions, will be implanted with known techniques; this procedure will be repeated three times. After treatment, The tumors will be measured with calipers, and the mice will be weighed weekly for 8 weeks. Tumor volume will be calculated for an ellipsoid as (maximal length)×(maximal height)×(maximal width)×(π/6). On the last day of the experiment, blood will be sampled from the retroorbital plexus into chilled heparin-containing tubes rinsed with 0.05% NaEDTA and containing three protease inhibitors, 10 mg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor, 100 TIU/ml aprotinin, and 10 mg/ml phosphamidon), as well as 0.1 mM IBMX for measurement of plasma VIP and cAMP levels. The mice will then euthanized The tumors will be excised, weighed, and frozen in liquid nitrogen for subsequent extraction (in methanol) and for measurement of protein content by known techniques; a portion of the tumor will be fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for morphologic examination.
  • One purpose of these studies is to evidence that the analogs are capable of producing the desired biological, biochemical, diagnostic, medicinal and/or therapeutic outcome in a living animal.
  • Example 5 DPPIV Protease Assay (Prophetic)
  • Digest buffer {100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8)} containing 15 μM peptide and 1 μg porcine kidney DPPIV (Sigma-Aldrich) will be incubated at 37 C. The reaction will be terminated at the specified time point by adding 10 μl 10% TFA, followed by reverse-phase HPLC on a Gemini C18 column (Phenomenex, Macclesfield, UK). The column will be eluted with a linear gradient of 27-31% AcN over 50 min at 1 ml/min. Peptides and their degradation products will be monitored by their absorbance at 214 nm. Percent degradation will be quantified by integration of peak areas related to undigested peptide peaks and corrected for degradation in the absence of enzyme.
  • Example 6 Method for Measuring Triglyceride Levels
  • hApoA1 mice (obtained from Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, Me.) are bled (by either eye or tail vein) and grouped according to equivalent mean serum triglyceride levels. They are dosed orally (by gavage in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle) with the test polypeptide once daily for 8 days.
