The present disclosure provides for, and includes, pharmaceutical formulations comprising an MANP peptide, methods of preparing such formulations, and uses of such formulations in the treatment of diseases and conditions for which use of the peptide contained in such formulations is indicated. The present disclosure further provides for, and includes, methods for increasing the stability by a peptide formulation and for reducing aggregation during production of a peptide formulation.

Formulations of MANP and uses thereof

The invention provides compositions and methods for treating, preventing, and diagnosing diseases or conditions associated with an abnormal level or activity of biglycan; disorders associated with an unstable cytoplasmic membrane, due, e.g., to an unstable dystrophin associated protein complex (DAPC); disorders associated with abnormal synapses or neuromuscular junctions, including those resulting from an abnormal MuSK activation or acetylcholine receptor (AChR) aggregation. Examples of diseases include Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), as well as muscular dystrophies, such as Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, Becker's Muscular Dystrophy, neuromuscular disorders and neurological disorders.
