Summary for Patent: 8,093,206
Title: | Methods involving long lasting synthetic exendin-4 peptide conjugates |
Abstract: | Modified insulinotropic peptides are disclosed. The modified insulinotropic peptides are capable of forming a peptidase stabilized insulinotropic peptide. The modified insulinotropic peptides are capable of forming covalent bonds with one or more blood components to form a conjugate. The conjugates may be formed in vivo or ex vivo. The modified peptides are administered to treat humans with diabetes and other related diseases. |

Application Number: | 11/304,446 |
Patent Claims: | 1. A method for treating obesity in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to the following formula:
##STR00018##
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said compound is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 3. A method for treating obesity in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a conjugate formed by reacting a compound according to the following formula: ##STR00019## with albumin, wherein said reacting forms a covalent bond between said compound and albumin. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said albumin is serum albumin. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein said reacting occurs between said compound and cysteine 34 thiol of albumin. 6. The method of claim 3, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 7. The method of claim 4, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 9. A method for treating decreased insulin sensitivity in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to the following formula: ##STR00020## 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said compound is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 11. A method for treating decreased insulin sensitivity in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a conjugate formed by reacting a compound according to the following formula: ##STR00021## with albumin, wherein said reacting forms a covalent bond between said compound and albumin. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein said albumin is serum albumin. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein said reacting occurs said compound and cysteine 34 thiol of albumin. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 17. The method of any one of claims 1-8, wherein the subject is a human. 18. The method of any one of claims 9-16, wherein the subject is a human. 19. The method of claim 4, wherein the serum albumin is human serum albumin. 20. The method of claim 5, wherein said albumin is serum albumin. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the subject is a human. 23. The method of claim 5, wherein said albumin is human serum albumin. 24. The method of claim 23, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 25. The method of claim 24, wherein the subject is a human. 26. The method of claim 12, wherein the serum albumin is human serum albumin. 27. The method of claim 13, wherein said albumin is serum albumin. 28. The method of claim 27, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 29. The method of claim 28, wherein the subject is a human. 30. The method of claim 13, wherein said albumin is human serum albumin. 31. The method of claim 30, wherein said conjugate is in association with a physiologically acceptable medium. 32. The method of claim 31, wherein the subject is a human. |
