The invention relates to a derivative of a GLP-1 analogue, which analogue comprises a first K residue at a position corresponding to position 27 of GLP-1(7-37) (SEQ ID NO: 1); a second K residue at a position corresponding to position T of GLP-1(7-37), where T is an integer in the range of 7-37 except 18 and 27; and a maximum of ten amino acid changes as compared to GLP-1(7-37); wherein the first K residue is designated K, and the second K residue is designated K; which derivative comprises two albumin binding moieties attached to Kand K, respectively, via a linker, wherein the albumin binding moiety comprises a protracting moiety selected from HOOC&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;CO&#x2014; and HOOC&#x2014;CH&#x2014;O&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;CO&#x2014;; in which x is an integer in the range of 6-16, and y is an integer in the range of 3-17; wherein the linker comprises an element of the formula &#x2014;NH&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;(O&#x2014;(CH))&#x2014;O&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;CO&#x2014;, wherein k is an integer in the range of 1-5, and n is an integer in the range of 1-5; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, amide, or ester thereof. The invention also relates to the pharmaceutical use thereof, for example in the treatment and/or prevention of all forms of diabetes and related diseases, as well as to corresponding novel GLP-1 analogues. The derivatives are suitable for oral administration.

Double-acylated GLP-1 derivatives

The invention relates to compounds derived from the EGF(A) domain of LDL-R, in particular compounds comprising a peptide analogue of the wild-type EGF(A) (LDL-R(293-332)) sequence and at least one substituent comprising at least one fatty acid group. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition thereof and use a medicament. The novel EGF(A) compounds of the invention are useful as treatment e.g. in the field of cholesterol lowering, dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular disease.

EGF(A) analogues with fatty acid substituents

The invention relates to PYY compounds having the amino acid in the position corresponding to position 35 of hPYY(1-36) substituted with beta-homoarginine and derivatives thereof with a modifying group attached to the position corresponding to position 7 of hPYY(1-36). The compounds of the invention are selective Y2 receptor agonists. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such PYY compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, as well as the medical use of the PYY compounds.

HPYY(1-36) having a beta-homoarginine substitution at position 35

The invention relates to MIC-1 compounds. More specifically it relates to compounds comprising a MIC-1 polypeptide with an N-terminal amino acid extension and a protractor wherein the amino acid extension comprises 3 to 36 amino acid residues and where the MIC-1 polypeptide and the N-terminal amino acid extension together have a calculated pI lower than 6.5. The compounds of the invention have MIC-1 activity. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, as well as the medical use of the compounds.

MIC-1 compounds and uses thereof

The invention relates to PYY compounds having the amino acid in the position corresponding to position 30 of hPYY(1-36) substituted with tryptophan and derivatives thereof with a modifying group attached to the position corresponding to position 7 of hPYY(1-36). The compounds of the invention are selective Y2 receptor agonists. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such PYY compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, as well as the medical use of the PYY compounds.

Selective PYY compounds and uses thereof
