Abstract:
Insulin derivatives which are water soluble, readily isolated, immunologically acceptable and which retain hypoglycaemic activity are those in which at least one of the A1, B1 and B29 aminoacid amino groups is converted into a blocked amino group having a substituent capable of forming an anion, e.g., by substitution with dicarboxylic acid radicals.
Abstract:
Insulin derivatives which have an improved profile of hypoglycaemic activity, or which are intermediates for the production of such derivatives, are those in which at least one of the A1(glycine, B1(phenylalanine) and B29 (lysine) amino acid units is blocked by a carbamyl group or a substituted carbamyl group R1R2NCO- wherein R1 and R2 can be hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or other radicals. Masking of the initial activity is achieved by blocking tryosine hydroxyl groups with substituents which are releasable in vivo. N, N'', N''''- tricarbamyl and -triethylcarbamyl insulin, and Osubstituted derivatives thereof are typical compounds of the invention.

Abstract:
Insulin derivatives which are water soluble, readily isolated, immunologically acceptable and which retain hypolgycaemic activity are those in which at least one of the A1, B1 and B29 aminoacid amino groups is converted into a blocked amino group having a substituent capable of forming an anion e.g. by substitution with dicarboxylic acid radicals. An additional refinement comprises blocking tyrosine hydroxyl groups with substituents which are releasable in vivo thereby achieving latent activity which is revealed progressively in order to provide prolonged action.
Abstract:
New pharmaceutical agents contain (a) a physiologically acceptable diluent or carrier and (b), as active substance, a peptide of the structure R(NR1)Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-A-Thr-Ser-Gly-Lys-Ser-Gln-Thr-Pro-Leu-Val-T- hr-Leu-Phe-Lys-Asn-Ala-Ile-B-Lys-Asn-Ala-C-Lys-Lys-DR11 (I). In formula (I), the component L-alpha-amino acids are represented by their usual abbreviations: A is an amino acid residue derived from L-methionine, L-leucine or L-norleucine; B is an amino acid residue derived from L-isoleucine or L-valine; C is an amino acid residue derived from L-histidine or L-tyrosine; D is 1 or 2 amino acid residues, or a direct link between Lys and R11; R and R1 are H or opt. substituted hydrocarbon gps.; and R11 is OH, or an opt. substituted amino or hydrazino gp. Peptides of formula (I) are claimed as new cpds., provided that when A is L-methionine, R and R1 are H and R11 is OH, then: B is not derived from L-isoleucine when C is derived from L-histidine and D is derived from glycyl-L-glutamine; and B is not derived from L-leoleucine when C is derifed from L-tyrosine and D is derived from Glycyl-L-glutamic acid. All synthetic peptides of formula (I) are claimed as new. (I) are biologically active peptides derived from the 61-91 amino acid C-terminal of beta-lipotrophic hormone (a protein hormone isolated from the pituitaries of various mammalian species), and are partic. suitable for use as analgesics. They may be injected directly into the central. nervous system (e.g., into the spinal cord during childbirth or into the brain during cancer treatment), but are pref. administered bi i.m. or, esp. i.v. injection.
