The invention relates to MIC-1 compounds. More specifically it relates to compounds comprising a MIC-1 polypeptide and an N-terminal amino acid extension, wherein said extension consists of 3 to 36 amino acid residues and where the compound has 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 use thereof

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 provides novel methionine aminopeptidase enzymes and their use.

Processing of peptides and proteins

The present invention provides a method of inhibiting a member of a family of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPases, PTPs) such as PTP1B, TC-PTP, CD45, SHP-1, SHP-2, PTP&#x3b1;, PTP&#x3b5;, PTP&#x3bc;, PTP&#x3b4;, PTP&#x3c3;, PTP&#x3b6;, PTP&#x3b2;, PTPD1, PTPD2, PTPH1, PTP-MEG1, PTP-LAR, and HePTP by exposing said Ptpase member by administration to a host or otherwise to at least one compound with certain structural, physical and spatial characteristics that allow for the interaction of said compound with specific residues of the active site of PTP1B and/or TC-PTP. These compounds are indicated in the management or treatment of a broad range of diseases such as autoimmune diseases, acute and chronic inflammation, osteoporosis, various forms of cancer and malignant diseases, and type I diabetes and type II diabetes, as well as in the isolation of PTPases and in elucidation or further elucidation of their biological function.

Method of inhibiting protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B and/or T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase 4 and/or other PTPases with an Asp residue at position 48

The present invention provides novel compounds, novel compositions, methods of their use, and methods of their manufacture, where such compounds are pharmacologically useful inhibitors of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPase's) such as PTP1B, CD45, SHP-1, SHP-2, PTP&#x3b1;, LAR and HePTP or the like. The compounds are useful in the treatment of type I diabetes, type II diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, obesity, immune dysfunctions including autoimmunity diseases with dysfunctions of the coagulation system, allergic diseases including asthma, osteoporosis, proliferative disorders including cancer and psoriasis, diseases with decreased or increased synthesis or effects of growth hormone, diseases with decreased or increased synthesis of hormones or cytokines that regulate the release of/or response to growth hormone, diseases of the brain including Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, and infectious diseases.

Benzo[b]thiophenyl or tetrahydro-benzo[b]thiophenyl modulators of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases)

The present invention provides novel compounds, novel compositions, methods of their use, and methods of their manufacture, where such compounds are pharmacologically useful inhibitors of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPase's) such as PTP1B. CD45, SHP-1, SHP-2, PTP&agr;, LAR and HePTP or the like. The compounds are useful in the treatment of type I diabetes, type II diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, obesity, immune dysfunctions including autoimmunity diseases with dysfunctions of the coagulation system, allergic diseases including asthma, osteoporosis, proliferative disorders including cancer and psoriasis, diseases with decreased or increased synthesis or effects of growth hormone, diseases with decreased or increased synthesis of hormones or cytokines that regulate the release of/or response to growth hormone, diseases of the brain including Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, and infectious diseases.
