Modified glucagon peptides are disclosed having enhanced potency at the glucagon receptor relative to native glucagon. Further modification of the glucagon peptides by forming intramolecular bridges or the substitution of the terminal carboxylic acid with an amide group produces peptides exhibiting glucagon/GLP-1 receptor co-agonist activity. The solubility and stability of these high potency glucagon analogs can be further improved by modification of the polypeptides by pegylation, acylation, alkylation, substitution of carboxy terminal amino acids, C-terminal truncation, or the addition of a carboxy terminal peptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 26 (GPSSGAPPPS), SEQ ID NO: 27 (KRNRNNIA) and SEQ ID NO: 28 (KRNR).
已公开的修饰胰高血糖素肽在胰高血糖素受体上的效力比原生胰高血糖素更强。通过形成分子内桥或用酰胺基团取代末端羧酸来进一步修饰胰高血糖素肽,可产生具有胰高血糖素/GLP-1 受体共激动剂活性的肽。这些高活性胰高血糖素类似物的溶解性和稳定性可通过对多肽进行聚乙二醇化、酰化、烷基化、羧基末端氨基酸的取代、C-末端截断或添加选自 SEQ ID NO: 26 (GPSSGAPPPS)、SEQ ID NO: 27 (KRNRNNIA) 和 SEQ ID NO: 28 (KRNR)的羧基末端肽来进一步改善。
