The invention concerns an improved process for the preparation of the dodecapeptide NX210 of SEQ ID NO: 1 in which the formation of side products is minimized.

Process for the preparation of a dodecapeptide

Methods for reducing platinum drug-induced toxicity in a cell expressing Organic Cation Transporter 2 (OCT2), methods for reducing platinum drug-induced toxicity in a subject, methods for treating cancer, methods for increasing efficacy of platinum drug treatment in a subject, and pharmaceutical compositions are described. The described methods and compositions include an OCT2 inhibitor where the OCT2 inhibitor is buflomedil or a salt thereof, dolutegravir or a salt thereof contains an imidazole, or is miconazole or a salt thereof.

Methods of preventing toxicity of platinum drugs

The invention relates to a polypeptide #including the following amino acid sequence: W-S-X1-W-X2-X3-C-S-X4-C-G (SEQ ID NO: 59), wherein X1, X2 and X3 are, independently of one another, S or G, X4 is R-S or V-S or V-T or R-T, and both cysteines form a disulfide bridge.

Cyclic polypeptides, method for obtaining them and the therapeutic use thereof

Modified insulinotropic peptides are disclosed. The modified insulinotropic peptides are capable of forming a peptidase stabilized insulinotropic peptide. The modified insulinotropic peptides are capable of forming covalent bonds with one or more blood components to form a conjugate. The conjugates may be formed in vivo or ex vivo. The modified peptides are administered to treat humans with diabetes and other related diseases.

The present invention provides methods of administering an insulinotropic peptide in an amount effective to treat a disorder or condition while reducing nausea side effect by administering to a subject in need thereof an insulinotropic peptide conjugated to albumin. The present invention also provides methods of selecting a subject for administration of a conjugated insulinotropic peptide. Exemplary disorders or conditions treatable with an insulinotropic peptide include obesity and type II diabetes.

Method of treatment of diabetes and/or obesity with reduced nausea side effect

The present invention relates to a compound comprising a PYY peptide or a functional derivative thereof, which is coupled to a reactive group. Such a reactive group is capable of reacting on a blood component so as to form a stable covalent bond therewith. The present invention also relates to a conjugate comprising such a compound which is covalently bonded to a blood component. Moreover, the invention also relates to a method of enhancing, in a patient, the anti-obesity activity of a PYY peptide or functional derivative thereof.

Anti-obesity agents

Modified anti-angiogenic peptides are disclosed. The modified peptides are capable of forming a peptidase stabilized anti-angiogenic peptide. The modified anti-angiogenic peptides, particularly modified kringle 5 peptides are capable of forming a conjugate with a blood protein. Conjugates are prepared from anti-angiogenic peptides, particularly kringle 5 peptides, by combining the peptide with a reactive functional group with a blood protein. The conjugates may be formed in vivo or ex vivo. The conjugates are administered to patients to provide an anti-angiogenic effect.

Long lasting anti-angiogenic peptides

This invention relates to glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) derivatives. In particular, this invention relates to GLP-2 peptide derivatives having an extended in vivo half-life, for the treatment or prevention of gastrointestinal disorders or diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and other gastrointestinal functions, from any segment of the gastrointestinal tract, from the oesophagus to the anus.

Long lasting glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and disorders

The present invention relates to a method for separating albumin conjugate from unconjugated albumin in a solution comprising albumin conjugate and unconjugated albumin by loading the solution onto a hydrophobic support equilibrated in aqueous buffer having a high salt content; applying to the support a gradient of decreasing salt concentration; and collecting the eluted albumin conjugate.

Method for purification of albumin conjugates

A secretin or secretin derivative protected against peptidase activity. The secretin or derivative comprises a peptidic sequence and a reactive group selected from the group consisting of succinimidyl and maleimido groups capable of reacting with an amino group, hydroxyl group or thiol group on a blood component to form a stable covalent bond. The reactive group is attached at a position along the peptidic sequence that provides, when conjugated to a blood component, a higher stability against peptidase degradation than the unconjugated secretin or derivative, and therefore an increased maintenance of the therapeutic activity compared to the unconjugated secretin or derivative. Such a compound is thus effective to provide a source of secretin having a high stability against peptidases. A method for synthesizing such a compound is also described.

Protection of endogenous therapeutic peptides from peptidase activity through conjugation to blood components
