Patent

CA 2554475

This invention provides novel peptides that function in vivo as agonists of the VPAC2 receptor. These insulin secretagogue polypeptides are shown to lower blood glucose in vivo upon glucose challenge. The polypeptides of this invention are also stable in formulation and have long half-lives. The peptides of the present invention provide a therapy for patients with decreased endogenous insulin secretion, for example, type 2 diabetics. The invention is also directed to a method of treating a metabolic disease in a mammal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the peptides to said mammal.

L'invention se rapporte à de nouveaux peptides qui fonctionnent in vivo comme des agonistes du récepteur VPAC2. Il s'est avéré que ces polypeptides sécrétagogues de l'insuline réduisent le taux de glycémie in vivo lors d'une épreuve de charge en glucose. Les polypeptides de l'invention sont également stables en formulation et ils présentent des demi-vies de longue durée. Les peptides de la présente invention peuvent être utilisés en thérapie sur des patients présentant une sécrétion d'insuline endogène réduite, par exemple, des diabétiques de type 2. L'invention se rapporte en outre à une méthode de traitement d'une maladie métabolique chez un mammifère, qui consiste à administrer une quantité thérapeutiquement efficace de ces peptides audit mammifère.
