Provided herein are treatment methods, including methods of treating nerve damage, methods of neuroprotection, methods of treating glaucoma and methods of lowering LDL levels. The methods generally involve administering to an individual in need thereof an effective amount of a CGRP receptor antagonist peptide or composition.

Use of CGRP receptor antagonists in neuroprotection and neurological disorders

The embodiments provide a modified calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist including an N-terminal fragment of modified calcitonin gene-related peptide or related protein family member where at least two residues of the N-terminal fragment are cysteine (Cys) and at least one amino acid comprises a non-threonine substitution of a threonine (Thr) residue; a central core where the central core comprises an a-helix; and a C-terminal fragment of modified calcitonin gene-related peptide or related protein family member comprising a C-terminal amide and where at least one amino acid of the C-terminal fragment is phenylalanine (Phe), proline (Pro), tyrosine (Tyr) or hydroxyproline (Hyp) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as well as compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, comprising a subject peptide. The embodiments further provide treatment methods, including methods of treating a migraine, the methods generally involving administering to an individual in need thereof an effective amount of a subject peptide or composition.

Peptide antagonists of the calcitonin CGRP family of peptide hormones and their use

The embodiments provide a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) agonist peptide or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, including pharmaceutical compositions comprising a CGRP agonist peptide. The embodiments further provide treatment methods, including method of treating metabolic disorders and metabolic disorders selected from metabolic syndrome, diabetes and obesity. The methods involve administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of CGRP peptide.

CGRP agonist peptides

Compounds are provided having inter alia good duration of action, high potency and/or convenient dosing regimens including oral administration. The compounds are engineered polypeptides which incorporate an albumin binding domain in combination with one or more biologically active polypeptides. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment for diseases and disorders including obesity and overweight, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, Alzheimer's disease, fatty liver disease, short bowel syndrome, Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular disease, and other and disorders of the central nervous system.

Engineered polypeptides having enhanced duration of action

The present invention relates generally to novel, selectable hybrid polypeptides useful as agents for the treatment and prevention of metabolic diseases and disorders which can be alleviated by control plasma glucose levels, insulin levels, and/or insulin secretion, such as diabetes and diabetes-related conditions. Such conditions and disorders include, but are not limited to, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, insulin-resistance, obesity, and diabetes mellitus of any kind, including type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.

Hybrid polypeptides with selectable properties

The disclosure provides GLP-1 receptor agonist compounds having stabilized regions corresponding to alpha-helical regions of the natural peptide compounds. The disclosure also provides benzamide-containing exendin-4 analogs and alkene-constrained exendin-4 analogs, both of which have stabilized regions corresponding to alpha-helical regions of exendin-4.

GLP-1 receptor agonist compounds having stabilized regions

The embodiments provide a modified calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist including an N-terminal fragment of modified calcitonin gene-related peptide or related protein family member where at least two residues of the N-terminal fragment are cysteine (Cys) and at least one amino acid comprises a non-threonine substitution of a threonine (Thr) residue; a central core where the central core comprises an &#x3b1;-helix; and a C-terminal fragment of modified calcitonin gene-related peptide or related protein family member comprising a C-terminal amide and where at least one amino acid of the C-terminal fragment is phenylalanine (Phe), proline (Pro), tyrosine (Tyr) or hydroxyproline (Hyp) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as well as compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, comprising a subject peptide. The embodiments further provide treatment methods, including methods of treating a migraine, the methods generally involving administering to an individual in need thereof an effective amount of a subject peptide or composition.

The present invention relates generally to novel GIP analogs and GIP hybrid polypeptides with selectable properties, useful as agents for the treatment and prevention of metabolic diseases and disorders, for example those which can be alleviated by control plasma glucose levels, insulin levels, and/or insulin secretion, positive inotropic effects, reduction of catabolic effects, slowing of gastric emptying. Such conditions and disorders include, but are not limited to, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, critical care, insulin-resistance, obesity, and diabetes mellitus of any kind, including type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
