The present invention relates to novel Pancreatic Polypeptide Family ("PPF") polypeptides. The PPF polypeptides of the invention generally include at least two PPF motif, have at least 50 % sequence identity to PYY (3-36) over its length and will generally retain, at least in part, a biological activity of a PP, PYY or NPY Preferred PPF polypeptides of the invention are those having a potency in one of the assays described herein (preferably food intake, gastric emptying, pancreatic secretion, or weight reduction assays) which is greater than the potency of PP, NPY, PYY, or PYY(3-36) in that same assay. In one aspect, the PPF polypeptides of the invention include novel PYY analog polypeptides. In another aspect, the PPF polypeptides of the invention include PPF chimeric polypeptides including a fragment of a PP family polypeptide linked to a second PP family polypeptide, wherein each of the first and second fragments includes a PPF motif. Methods of using the PPF polypeptides of the invention, and pharmaceutical compositions including the PPF polypeptides of the invention are also disclosed.
本发明涉及新型胰多肽家族("PPF")多肽。本发明的 PPF 多肽一般至少包括两个 PPF 基序,在其长度上与PYY(3-36)至少有 50%的序列相同性,并且一般至少部分保留 PP 的生物活性、本发明优选的 PPF 多肽是那些在本文所述的一种检测方法(最好是食物摄入、胃排空、胰腺分泌或体重减轻检测方法)中的效力大于 PP、NPY、PYY 或 PYY(3-36)在相同检测方法中的效力的多肽。一方面,本发明的 PPF 多肽包括新型PYY 类似物多肽。另一个方面,本发明的 PPF 多肽包括 PPF 嵌合多肽,包括与第二个 PP 家族多肽连接的 PP 家族多肽片段,其中第一和第二片段中的每一个都包括 PPF 基序。还公开了使用本发明 PPF 多肽的方法和包括本发明 PPF 多肽的药物组合物。
