Summary for Patent: 6,110,892
Title: | Parathyroid hormone analogues for the treatment of osteoporosis |
Abstract: | This invention describes analogues of human parathyroid hormone which have increased activities in bone restoration, and increased bioavailabilities. The peptides described are derivatives of hPTH-(1-31) which are cyclized for example, by formation of lactams between either Glu.sup.22 and Lys.sup.26 or Lys.sup.26 and Asp.sup.30. In addition, the natural Lys.sup.27 may be substituted by either a Leu or other hydrophobic residues, such as Ile, norleucine, Met, Val, Ala, Trp, or Phe. Typically, these analogues have enhanced abilities to stimulate adenylyl cyclase in rat osteosarcoma cells, and show increased activities in bone restoration, using the ovariectomized rat model. The analogues also show enhanced activities and bioavailabilities, as demonstrated by their hypotensive effects in the rat. An assay which correlates hypotensive activity with osteogenic activity is also described. |

Patent Claims: | 1. A human parathyroid hormone hPTH analogue or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, having the amino acid sequence:
H-NH-Ser-Val-Ser-Glu-Ile-Gln-Leu-Met-His-Asn-Leu-Gly-Lys-R3-R4-R5-R6-Met-Gl u-Arg-Val-Glu-Trp-Leu-Arg-Lys-R11-Leu-Gln-Asp-NH.sub.2 (SEQ ID NO:33) wherein R3=His or a water soluble amino acid, R4=Leu or a water soluble amino acid, R5=Asn or a water soluble amino acid, R6=Ser or a water soluble amino acid, R11=Lys or Leu, cyclized in the form of a lactam between amino acid pairs 22 and 26; 26 and 30; or 27 and 30 when R11 is Lys, provided the analogue is not SEQ ID NO:7. 2. An analogue according to claim 1, wherein the cyclisation is either between Glu.sup.22 and Lys.sup.26 or between Lys.sup.26 and Asp.sup.30. 3. An analogue according to claim 1, wherein R3 is His or Lys, R4 is Leu, Lys or Arg, R5 is Asn, Orn, Hci, Asp, Arg, Lys, D-Lys, Ser or Gly, and R6 is Ser, Lys, Asp or Arg. 4. An analogue according to claim 1, wherein R3-R6 is His-Lys-Lys-Lys, His-Leu-Lys-Lys, Lys-Lys-Lys-Lys or His-Leu-Lys-Ser (SEQ ID NOS: 28-31). 5. A composition for administration to a warm-blooded animal comprising a human parathyroid hormone analogue according to claim 1 in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. 6. A method of treating osteoporosis in a warm-blooded animal in need of such treatment, comprising administering to such warm-blooded animal, a therapeutically effective amount of a human parathyroid hormone analogue according to claim 1. 7. A method according to claim 6 wherein the human parathyroid analogue is cyclized as a lactam between amino acid pairs 22 and 26. 8. A human parathyroid hormone hPTH analogue or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, having the amino acid sequence: H-NH-Ser-Val-Ser-Glu-Ile-Gln-Leu-Met-His-Asn-Leu-Gly-Lys-R3-R4-R5-R6-Met-Gl u-Arg-Val-Glu-Trp-Leu-Arg-Lys-R11-Leu-Gln-Asp-OH (SEQ ID NO:33) wherein R3=His or a water soluble amino acid, R4=Leu or a water soluble amino acid, R5=Asn or a water soluble amino acid, R6=Ser or a water soluble amino acid, R11=Lys or Leu, cyclized in the form of a lactam between amino acid pairs 22 and 26; 26 and 30; or 27 and 30 when R11 is Lys. 9.
