The present invention relates to novel peptides that are derivatives of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) analogues having improved physical stability in solution and a protracted profile of action. More particular the invention relates to such peptides that are agonists at the GIP receptor and to their use in weight management or for treatment of diseases such as obesity, diabetes or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

GIP derivatives and uses thereof

Provided are knottin-drug conjugates. The conjugates include a knottin peptide that includes an engineered loop that binds to a target on a cancer cell surface, and a drug (e.g., a nucleoside drug) conjugated to the knottin peptide through a linker. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions and kits that include the knottin-drug conjugates, as well as methods of using the knottin-drug conjugates, e.g., for therapeutic purposes.

Knottin-drug conjugates and methods of using the same

The present invention relates to novel peptides that are derivatives of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) analogues having improved physical stability in solution and a protracted profile of action. More particularly the invention relates to such peptides that are agonists at the GIP receptor and to their use in weight management or for treatment of diseases such as obesity, diabetes or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The peptides comprise a lysine residue at a position corresponding to position 24 of hGIP(1-31), and comprise a negatively charged modifying group attached to the epsilon amino group of the lysine residue.
