The present invention provides novel human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-receptor modulators that have biological activity similar or superior to native GLP-1 peptide and thus are useful for the treatment or prevention of diseases or disorders associated with GLP activity. Further, the present invention provides novel, chemically modified peptides that not only stimulate insulin secretion in type II diabetics, but also produce other beneficial insulinotropic responses. These synthetic peptide GLP-1 receptor modulators exhibit increased stability to proteolytic cleavage making them ideal therapeutic candidates for oral or parenteral administration. The peptides of this invention show desirable pharmacokinetic properties and desirable potency in efficacy models of diabetes.
本发明提供了新型的人类胰高血糖素样肽-1(GLP-1)受体调节剂,其生物活性类似或优于天然GLP-1肽,因此可用于治疗或预防与GLP活性相关的疾病或障碍。此外,本发明提供了新型的化学修饰肽,不仅能刺激2型糖尿病患者的胰岛素分泌,还能产生其他有益的胰岛素促进反应。这些合成肽GLP-1受体调节剂具有较高的蛋白酶水解稳定性,使其成为口服或静脉注射的理想治疗候选药物。本发明的肽具有理想的药代动力学特性和糖尿病疗效模型的理想效力。
