A liquid formulation comprising a peptide agonist of the calcium sensing receptor and method of preparing and using the formulation are provided.

Stable liquid formulation of AMG 416 (etelcalcetide)

Described herein are cholix-IL-10 fusion proteins, and methods of use thereof, which can be characterized by a distinct response in an individual when administered. This distinct response can comprise changes in levels of one or more markers in the individual and/or co-localization of IL-10 in the lamina propria of the individual. Further described herein, in some embodiments, are oral formulations of the cholix-IL-10 fusion proteins. Described herein are methods for the purification of an IL-10 delivery construct, including methods for refolding and enrichment, which can result in maintenance of a high percentage of the IL-10 delivery constructs in the biologically active dimer form. Described herein are oral formulations configured for site-specific release of a therapeutic protein in the small intestines or colon. In some cases, the therapeutic protein is in the form of a dimer, such as an IL-10 delivery construct capable of crossing the gut epithelium.

Compositions, formulations and interleukin production and purification

Compounds having activity for lowering parathyroid hormone levels are described. In one embodiment, the compounds are comprised of a contiguous sequence of subunits, X-X-X-X-X-X-X, wherein the Xsubunit comprises a thiol-containing moiety and the distribution of charge on the X-Xsubunits provides the desired activity. Methods of using the compounds for treating hyperparathyroidism, bone disease and/or hypercalcemic disorders are also described, and in particular, methods for lowering plasma PTH and serum calcium are provided. The compounds can be used to treat subjects having, for example: primary, secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism; hypercalcemia of malignancy; metastatic bone disease; or osteoporosis.

Therapeutic agents for reducing parathyroid hormone levels

The disclosed invention relates to methods of modifying peptide compositions to increase stability and delivery efficiency. Specifically, the disclosed invention relates to methods to increase the stability and delivery efficiency of protein kinase C (PKC) modulatory peptide compositions. A 'therapeutic peptide composition' comprises a 'carrier peptide' and a &#x201c;cargo peptide.&#x201d; A &#x201c;carrier peptide&#x201d; is a peptide or amino acid sequence within a peptide that facilitates the cellular uptake of the therapeutic peptide composition. The &#x201c;cargo peptide&#x201d; is a PKC modulatory peptide. Peptide modifications to either the carrier peptide, the cargo peptide, or both, which are described herein increase the stability and delivery efficiency of therapeutic peptide compositions by reducing disulfide bond exchange, physical stability, reducing proteolytic degradation, and increasing efficiency of cellular uptake.

Modifications of peptide compositions to increase stability and delivery efficiency

Compounds having activity for lowering parathyroid hormone levels are described. In one embodiment, the compounds are comprised of a contiguous sequence of subunits, X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X, wherein the Xsubunit comprises a thiol-containing moiety and the distribution of charge on the X-Xsubunits provides the desired activity. Methods of using the compounds for treating hyperparathyroidism, bone disease and/or hypercalcemic disorders are also described, and in particular, methods for lowering plasma PTH and serum calcium are provided. The compounds can be used to treat subjects having, for example: primary, secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism; hypercalcemia of malignancy; metastatic bone disease; or osteoporosis.

The disclosure herein relates to modified &#x3b5;PKC inhibitory peptides, methods of generating such peptides, and method for using &#x3b5;PKC inhibitory peptides for the treatment of pain.

Methods of use of epsilon inhibitor compounds for the attenuation of pain

Compounds having activity for lowering parathyroid hormone levels are described. In one embodiment, the compounds are comprised of a contiguous sequence of subunits, X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X&#x2014;X, wherein the Xsubunit comprises a thiol-containing moiety and the distribution of charge on the X&#x2014;Xsubunits provides the desired activity. Methods of using the compounds for treating hyperparathyroidism, bone disease and/or hypercalcemic disorders are also described, and in particular, methods for lowering plasma PTH and serum calcium are provided. The compounds can be used to treat subjects having, for example: primary, secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism; hypercalcemia of malignancy; metastatic bone disease; or osteoporosis.
