The invention relates to a GLP-1 prodrug of the general formula I: R1-(NHXaa1)-Xaa2-(OHis)-(GLP-1 peptide) (Formula I), wherein GLP-1 peptide is GLP-1(8-37) (SEQ ID NO: 1) or an analogue thereof having a maximum of nine amino acid changes as compared to GLP-1(8-37), R1 is lower alkyl, (NHXaa1) is an amino acid, Xaa2 is an amino acid, and (OHis) is a radical of imidazole-lactic acid; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, amide, or ester of the prodrug. The invention also relates to specific GLP-1 parent drugs of the general formula II: (HOHis)-(GLP-1 peptide) (Formula II), as well as specific intermediate products. The invention furthermore relates to a method of achieving release in vivo of an active and stabilised GLP-1 parent drug of the general formula II: (HOHis)-(GLP-1 peptide), by administering a GLP-1 prodrug; as well as to such GLP-1 prodrug, and such GLP-1 parent drug, respectively, for use as a medicament, in particular for use in the treatment and/or prevention of all forms of diabetes and related diseases. The prodrug may be used to alter the PK and/or absorption profile of the drug, for example to a desirable bell-shaped curve. The parent drug has a good biological activity, and is stabilised against degradation by DPP-IV.
该发明涉及通式I的GLP-1前药:R1-(NHXaa1)-Xaa2-(OHis)-(GLP-1肽)(通式I),其中GLP-1肽是GLP-1(8-37)(序列ID号:1)或其类似物,与GLP-1(8-37)相比最多具有九个氨基酸变化,R1是较低的烷基,(NHXaa1)是一种氨基酸,Xaa2是一种氨基酸,(OHis)是咪唑乳酸的基团;或者是该前药的药用盐、酰胺或酯。该发明还涉及通式II的特定GLP-1母药:(HOHis)-(GLP-1肽)(通式II),以及特定的中间产物。此外,该发明还涉及通过给予GLP-1前药来在体内释放通式II的活性和稳定的GLP-1母药的方法:(HOHis)-(GLP-1肽),以及用作药物的该GLP-1前药和该GLP-1母药,特别是用于治疗和/或预防所有形式的糖尿病和相关疾病。该前药可用于改变药物的PK和/或吸收特性,例如使其呈现理想的钟形曲线。母药具有良好的生物活性,并且受到DPP-IV的降解稳定性的保护。
