The subject matter described herein 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. The described compounds include 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 disclosed and claimed peptides show desirable pharmacokinetic properties and desirable potency in efficacy models of diabetes.
本文所描述的主题提供了一种新颖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。所描述的化合物包括化学修饰的肽,不仅能够刺激II型糖尿病患者的胰岛素分泌,还产生其他有益的胰岛素促进反应。这些合成肽GLP-1受体调节剂表现出对蛋白酶水解的稳定性增加,使它们成为口服或静脉注射的理想治疗候选药物。所披露和要求的肽具有理想的药代动力学特性和糖尿病疗效模型中的理想效力。
