The development of fluorescent bioprobes comprising organic fluorescent compounds that exhibit aggregation induced emission (AIE) properties, methods of producing the same, and their practical applications for in vitro and in vivo bioimaging.
This invention relates generally to peptides including tripeptides and to methods for pharmaceutical treatment of mammals using such tripeptides and analogs thereof. More specifically, the invention is directed to neuropeptide Y (“NPY”) receptor antagonists and agonists including O-glycosylated tripeptides, i.e. O-glycopeptides, and extended tripeptides, and their analogs, as well as to PYY analogs, to pharmaceutical compositions containing such tripeptides and PYY analogs, and to methods of treatment of mammals using such tripeptides and PYY analogs. In addition, the invention relates to methods of treatment of mammals using such tripeptides and PYY analogs for control of appetite, blood pressure, cardiovascular response, libido, and circadian rhythm.
