`ABSTRACT
`
`The invention relates to novel polypeptide analogues of
`GLP-1 and exendin-4. The polypeptide, in a preferred
`embodiment, is insulinotropic and long-acting. Preferably,
`the polypeptides insulinotropic effect is comparable to or
`exceeds the effect of an equimolar amount of GLP-1 or exen
`din-4. The invention also relates to a method of treating a
`Subject with diabetes, comprising administering to the Sub
`ject the polypeptide of the invention in an amount that has an
`insulinotropic effect. The invention also relates to methods of
`using GLP-1, exendin-4, and polypeptide analogues thereof
`for neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects.

`GLP-1 EXENDIN-4 PEPTIDE ANALOGS AND

`
`CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED
`APPLICATION
`
`This application claims priority to U.S. Application Ser.
`No. 60/309,076, filed Jul. 31, 2001.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`This invention relates generally to glucagon-like peptide-1
`(GLP-1), exendin-4 and their peptide analogs. The invention
`also relates to their uses in the treatment of diabetes and
`neurodegenerative conditions.
`2. Background Art
`Pancreatic beta cell dysfunction and the concomitant
`decrease in insulin production can result in diabetes mellitus.
`In type 1 diabetes, the beta cells are completely destroyed by
`the immune system, resulting in an absence of insulin pro
`ducing cells (Physician's Guide to Insulin DependentType II
`Diabetes Mellitus: Diagnosis and Treatment, American Dia
`betes Association, 1988). In type 2 diabetes, the beta cells
`become progressively less efficient as the target tissues
`become resistant to the effects of insulin on glucose uptake.
`Thus, beta cells are absent in people with type 1 diabetes and
`are functionally impaired in people with type 2 diabetes.
`Beta cell dysfunction currently is treated in several differ
`ent ways. In the treatment of type 1 diabetes or the late stages
`of type 2 diabetes, insulin replacement therapy is necessary.
`Insulin therapy, although life-saving, does not restore nor
`moglycemia, even when continuous infusions or multiple
`injections are used in complex regimes. For example, post
`prandial levels of glucose continue to be excessively high in
`individuals on insulin replacement therapy. Thus, insulin
`therapy must be delivered by multiple daily injections or
`continuous infusion and the effects must be carefully moni
`tored to avoid hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, metabolic aci
`dosis, and ketosis.
`People with type 2 diabetes are generally treated with
`drugs that stimulate insulin production and secretion from the
`beta cells and/or improve insulin sensitivity. A major disad
`Vantage of these drugs, however, is that insulin production
`and secretion is promoted regardless of the level of blood
`glucose. Thus, food intake must be balanced against the pro
`motion of insulin production and secretion to avoid hypogly
`cemia or hyperglycemia. In recent years several new agents
`have become available to treat type 2 diabetes. These include
`metformin, rosiglitaZone, pioglitaZone, and acarbose (see
`Bressler and Johnson, 1997). However, the drop in hemoglo
`bin Alc obtained by these newer agents is less than adequate
`(Ghazzi et al., 1997), suggesting that they will not improve
`the long-term control of diabetes mellitus.
`Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone normally
`secreted by neuroendocrine cells of the gut in response to
`food, has been suggested as a new treatment for type 2 dia
`betes (Gutniak et al., 1992: Nauck et al., J. Clin. Invest.
`1993). It increases insulin release by the beta cells even in
`Subjects with long-standing type 2 diabetes (Nauck et al.,
`Diabetologia, 1993). GLP-1 treatment has an advantage over
`insulin therapy because GLP-1 stimulates endogenous insu
`lin secretion, which turns off when blood glucose levels drop
`(Naucket al., Diabetologia, 1993: Elahi et al., 1994). GLP-1
`promotes euglycemia by increasing insulin release and Syn
`thesis, inhibiting glucagon release, and decreasing gastric
`emptying (Nauck et al., Diabetologia, 1993: Elahi et al.,

`1997). GLP-1 also induces an increase in hexokinase mes
`senger RNA levels (Wang et al., Endocrinology 1995; Wang
`et al., 1996). GLP-1 is known to have a potent insulin-secret
`ing effect on beta cells (Thorens and Waeber, 1993: Orskov,
`1992) and to increase insulin biosynthesis and proinsulin
`gene expression when added to insulin-secreting cell lines for
`24 hours (Drucker et al., 1987: Fehmann and Habener, 1992).
`In studies using RIN 1046-38 cells, twenty-four hour treat
`ment with GLP-1 increased glucose responsiveness even
`after the GLP-1 had been removed for an hour and after
`several washings of the cells (Montrose-Rafizadeh et al.,
`1994). Thus, GLP-1 is an insulinotropic agent known to have
`biological effects on Bcells even after it has been metabolized
`from the system. GLP-1 is a product of posttranslational
`modification of proglucagon. The sequences of GLP-1 and its
`active fragments GLP-1 (7-37) and GLP-1 (7-36) amide are
`known in the art (Fehmann et al., 1995). Although GLP-1 has
`been proposed as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of
`diabetes, it has a short biological half-life (De Ore et al.,
`1997), even when given by a bolus subcutaneously (Ritzel et
`al., 1995). GLP-1 degradation (and GLP-1 (7-36) amide), in
`part, is due to the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP1V),
`which cleaves the polypeptide between amino acids 8 and 9
`(alanine and glutamic acid).
`Exendin-4 is a polypeptide produced in the salivary glands
`of the Gila Monster lizard (Goke et al., 1993). The amino acid
`sequence for exendin-4 is known in the art (Fehmann et al.
`1995). Although it is the product of a uniquely non-mamma
`lian gene and appears to b
