The present invention relates to a conjugate comprising oxyntomodulin, an immunoglobulin Fc region, and non-peptidyl polymer wherein the conjugate being obtainable by covalently linking oxyntomodulin to immunoglobulin Fc region via non-peptidyl polymer, and a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of obesity comprising the conjugates. The conjugate comprising oxyntomodulin and the immunoglobulin Fc of the present invention reduces food intake, suppresses gastric emptying, and facilitates lipolysis without side-effects, unlike native oxyntomodulin, and also shows excellent receptor-activating effects and long-term sustainability, compared to native oxyntomodulin. Thus, it can be widely used in the treatment of obesity with safety and efficacy.

The present invention relates to a composition for the prevention or treatment of diabetes comprising a long-acting insulin conjugate and a long-acting insulinotropic peptide conjugate, and a therapeutic method for the treatment of diabetes, and more particularly, concurrent administration of the long-acting insulin conjugate and the long-acting insulinotropic peptide conjugate inhibits weight gain caused by insulin treatment, and vomiting and nausea caused by insulinotropic peptide treatment, and reduces the required dose of insulin, thereby remarkably improving drug compliance. Moreover, each of the long-acting insulin conjugate and the long-acting insulinotropic peptide conjugate of the present invention is prepared by linking insulin or insulinotropic peptide with an immunoglobulin Fc region via a non-peptidyl linker, thereby showing improved in-vivo duration of efficacy and stability.

A method for preventing or treating a cancer includes administering an anti-cancer pharmaceutical composition including an interferon alpha or a polymer conjugate thereof. The pharmaceutical composition can be co-administered with anti-cancer agents. The interferon alpha conjugate shows a longer in vivo half-life and a more excellent anti-cancer activity than the conventional interferon alpha, and in particular, its co-administration with an anti-cancer agent such as gemcitabine has synergistic inhibitory effects on cancer cell growth and proliferation so as to exhibit a remarkably excellent anti-cancer activity. Further, the anti-cancer pharmaceutical composition has excellent in vivo half-life and anti-cancer activity to greatly reduce administration frequency. Co-administration of an anti-cancer agent and the interferon alpha conjugate having excellent anti-cancer activity reduces administration dose of anti-cancer agent so as to reduce side effects of anti-cancer agent and increase treatment compliance of patient.

Disclosed is a novel long-acting glucagon conjugate in which glucagon or its derivative is covalently linked to a polymer carrier via a non-peptide linker, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same as an effective ingredient useful for the prevention and treatment of obesity. Since the long-acting glucagon conjugate of the present invention shows improved in vivo durability and stability, when used in combination with an anti-obesity drug, it is possible to induce synergistic effects on the loss of body weight and decrease in food intake without causing any side-effects such as fluctuation in blood glucose level. Accordingly, the long-acting peptide conjugate of the present invention is very effective for the prevention and treatment of obesity.
