The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease including a long-acting GLP-1/glucagon receptor dual agonist, and a method for preventing or treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease including administering the composition. The composition of the present invention either has no side effect of weight gain or reduces the side effect of weight gain, which is a side-effect of conventional therapeutic agents for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and reduces the amount of administrations of a long-acting GLP-1/glucagon receptor dual agonist, thus greatly improving patient's convenience. In addition, the long-acting GLP-1/glucagon receptor dual agonist of the present invention improves in vivo sustainability and stability.

Use of a long acting GLP-1/glucagon receptor dual agonist for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

The present invention relates to an insulin analog that has reduced insulin receptor binding affinity for the purpose of increasing the blood half-life of insulin, and long-acting insulin, a conjugate, and a method of preparing long-acting insulin using the same.

Long-acting insulin and use thereof

A composition for preventing or treating diabetes mellitus includes insulin and a GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist. The composition can inhibit the weight gain and reduce the danger of hypoglycemia due to the administration of insulin, lower the administration dose and greatly improve the compliance of drugs through a combined administration of a long-acting insulin conjugate and a long-acting GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist conjugate. In addition, the long-acting insulin conjugate and the long-acting GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist conjugate can improve the in vivo sustainability and stability because an insulin and a GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist are linked to the immunoglobulin Fc region via a non-peptidyl linker. A method for preventing or treat diabetes mellitus includes administration of the insulin and a GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist.

Method for treating diabetes mellitus by a composition comprising insulin and a GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist

Provided are an insulin conjugate having improved insulin receptor binding affinity and increased activity, in which a non-peptidyl polymer and an immunoglobulin Fc region are site-specifically linked to an amino acid residue of the insulin beta chain excluding the N-terminus thereof via a covalent bond, a long-acting formulation including the same, and a preparation method thereof. The insulin conjugate of the present invention is used to provide an insulin formulation which exhibits a remarkably increased in vivo activity of the peptide.

Site-specific insulin conjugate

The present invention relates to an insulinotropic peptide derivative with a modified N-terminal charge and a pharmaceutical composition including the same. Specifically, the insulinotropic peptide derivative is characterized in that the N-terminal positive charge of the insulinotropic peptide is modified to a neutral or net negative charge at neutral pH. The insulinotropic peptide derivative according to the present invention is rapidly dissociated from the GLP-1 receptor owing to the above modification in the N-terminal charge, and exhibits enhanced insulinotropic ability and blood glucose-lowering activity compared to the native insulinotropic peptide while maintaining its stability in blood. Accordingly, the insulinotropic peptide derivative of the present invention is very useful for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
