Implications of amylin receptor agonism: integrated neurohormonal mechanisms and therapeutic applications.
Amylin receptor agonism is emerging as part of an integrated neurohormonal therapeutic approach for managing diabetes mellitus (DM) and body weight. Pramlintide acetate, an analogue of the pancreatic hormone amylin, has been studied in the United States as an antihyperglycemic agent in patients with type 1 or type 2 DM treated with mealtime insulin(1). Further clinical testing of pramlintide in...
متن کاملConvergent chemoenzymatic synthesis of a library of glycosylated analogues of pramlintide: structure-activity relationships for amylin receptor agonism.
Pramlintide (Symlin®), a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring pancreatic hormone amylin, is currently used with insulin in adjunctive therapy for type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Herein we report a systematic study into the effect that N-glycosylation of pramlintide has on activation of amylin receptors. A highly efficient convergent synthetic route, involving a combination of soli...
متن کاملLeptin responsiveness restored by amylin agonism in diet-induced obesity: evidence from nonclinical and clinical studies.
Body weight is regulated by complex neurohormonal interactions between endocrine signals of long-term adiposity (e.g., leptin, a hypothalamic signal) and short-term satiety (e.g., amylin, a hindbrain signal). We report that concurrent peripheral administration of amylin and leptin elicits synergistic, fat-specific weight loss in leptin-resistant, diet-induced obese rats. Weight loss synergy was...
متن کامل5-HT6 receptor agonism facilitates emotional learning
Serotonin (5-HT) and its receptors play crucial roles in various aspects of mood and cognitive functions. However, the role of specific 5-HT receptors in these processes remains to be better understood. Here, we examined the effects of the selective and potent 5-HT6 agonist (WAY208466) on mood, anxiety and emotional learning in mice. Male C57Bl/6J mice were therefore tested in the forced swim t...
متن کاملAgonism and Antagonism at the Insulin Receptor
Insulin can trigger metabolic as well as mitogenic effects, the latter being pharmaceutically undesirable. An understanding of the structure/function relationships between insulin receptor (IR) binding and mitogenic/metabolic signalling would greatly facilitate the preclinical development of new insulin analogues. The occurrence of ligand agonism and antagonism is well described for G protein-c...
