Disclosed is a composition of matter that involves a CGRP peptide antagonist. A pharmaceutical composition is disclosed that comprises the composition of matter and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which can be configured for administration to a patient. Also disclosed is a method of producing the composition of matter. Methods of treating, preventing or mitigating migraine, are also disclosed.

Methods of diagnosing infections are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises measuring the amount of each of the polypeptides TRAIL, CRP, IP10 and at least one additional polypeptide selected from the group consisting of IL-6 and PCT.

The invention relates to the preservation of an active agent, such as a polypeptide, by contacting the active agent with a preservation mixture including a sugar and polyethyleneimine.

The invention relates to polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence which is an analogue of pramlintide, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these polypeptides, and these polypeptides for use as medicaments.

Acylated CGRP compounds with a linker have prolonged action and are valuable as medicaments.

Analogs for CLR / RAMP receptor ligands are provided that have agonist, superagonist, antagonist, super-antagonist, or multiple receptor modulating activity. The analogs can be selective for one or more CLR / RAMP receptors, or can be pan-specific for multiple G protein-coupled receptors.

The invention relates to polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence which is an analogue of pramlintide, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these polypeptides, and these polypeptides for use as medicaments.

The present invention provides compositions, and methods for local administration of certain peptides or combination with certain small molecules that produce analgesia and anti-inflammation in a mammal. Exemplary polypeptides provide peripheral analgesia and anti-inflammation when administered via local topical, subcutaneous, intradermal, or intranasal administration, to provide analgesia and anti-inflammation. Through antagonism of peripheral CGRP receptors alone, or in combination with inhibition of sensory sodium channels or anti-inflammation, the compositions of the invention provide local therapeutic pain relief with minimal undesired systemic side effects in a subject. Also provided are improved peptide delivery techniques including microneedle unit dose administering apparatus and methods. Also provided are hydrogel formulations for sustained local delivery to a subject of one or more of the compositions according to the invention in a therapeutically effective amount, thereby providing local pain relief and / or reducing associated inflammation.

Analogs for CLR / RAMP receptor ligands are provided that have agonist, superagonist, antagonist or superantagonist activity. The analogs can be selective for one or more CLR / RAMP receptors, or can be pan-specific.

Methods of diagnosing infections are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises measuring the amount of each of the polypeptides TRAIL, CRP, IP10 and at least one additional polypeptide selected from the group consisting of IL-6 and PCT.

The present invention relates to humanized calcitonin mimetics and their use in treating diabetes (Type I and / or Type II), excess bodyweight, excessive food consumption, metabolic syndrome, rheumatoidarthritis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoporosis, or osteoarthritis, poorly regulated blood glucose levels, poorly regulated response to glucose tolerance tests, or poor regulation of food intake.

The embodiments provide a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) agonist peptide or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, including pharmaceutical compositions comprising a CGRP agonist peptide. The embodiments further provide treatment methods, including method of treating metabolic disorders and metabolic disorders selected from metabolic syndrome, diabetes and obesity. The methods involve administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of CGRP peptide.

The invention belongs to the field of biological medicine and relates to polypeptide fragment derived from intermedin (IMD; alternate name, Adrenomedullin 2, ADM2). The polypeptide fragment is specifically mature peptide IMD108-147 with the length of 40 amino acids. Researches show that intermedin precursor peptide and three kinds of sheared manure peptides can reduce cytokine storm caused by sepsis, have a protection effect on vascular endothelial barriers, can reduce tissue edema and organic damage, can effectively reduce death rate of the sepsis. The IMD108-147 related in the invention has possibility of serving as polypeptide medicine to be applied to preventing and treating clinical sepsis and has a very good application prospect.
