چکیده
The present study investigated a novel oral dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonist (DACRA), KBP-042, in head-to-head comparison with salmon calcitonin (sCT) with regard to in vitro receptor pharmacology, ex vivo pancreatic islet studies, and in vivo proof of concept studies in diet-induced obese (DIO) and Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. In vitro, KBP-042 demonstrated superior binding affinity and activation of amylin and calcitonin receptors, and ex vivo, KBP-042 exerted inhibitory action on stimulated insulin and glucagon release from isolated islets. In vivo, KBP-042 induced a superior and pronounced reduction in food intake in conjunction with a sustained pair-fed corrected weight loss in DIO rats. Concomitantly, KBP-042 improved glucose homeostasis and reduced hyperinsulinemia and hyperleptinemia in conjunction with enhanced insulin sensitivity. In ZDF rats, KBP-042 induced a superior attenuation of diabetic hyperglycemia and alleviated impaired glucose and insulin tolerance. Concomitantly, KBP-042 preserved insulinotropic and induced glucagonostatic action, ultimately preserving pancreatic insulin and glucagon content. In conclusion, oral KBP-042 is a novel DACRA, which exerts antiobesity and antidiabetic efficacy by dual modulation of insulin sensitivity and directly decelerating stress on the pancreatic α- and β-cells. These results could provide the basis for oral KBP-042 as a novel therapeutic agent in type 2 diabetes.

KBP-088, a novel DACRA with prolonged receptor activation, is superior to davalintide in terms of efficacy on body weight.
This study aims to elucidate the mechanism behind the potent weight loss induced by dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists (DACRA) through comparison of the novel DACRA KBP-088 with the amylinomimetic davalintide with regard to in vitro receptor pharmacology and in vivo efficacy on food intake and body weight. KBP-088 and davalintide were tested for their ability to activate the amylin an...
متن کاملIntrathecal Amylin and Salmon Calcitonin Affect Formalin Induced c-Fos Expression in the Spinal Cord of Rats
Background: Amylin and Salmon Calcitonin belong to the calcitonin family of peptides and have high affinity binding sites in the rat spinal cord. The aim of this study was to characterize receptors for Amylin and Salmon Calcitonin functionally in the spinal cord of rats. We assessed the expression of c-Fos in response to intraplantar formalin in the lumbar regions of the spinal cord in consciou...
متن کاملAmylin infusion into rat nucleus accumbens potently depresses motor activity and ingestive behavior.
Amylin, a calcitonin gene-related peptide-like peptide coreleased with insulin, exerts anorexic effects on central administration. Because previous studies revealed dense amylin binding in the nucleus accumbens (Acb), we investigated the behavioral effects of amylin infusions (10, 30, and 100 ng/side) into Acb subregions. Intra-Acb shell amylin infusions decreased ambulation, rearing, feeding, ...
متن کاملDissociation of the effects of amylin on osteoblast proliferation and bone resorption.
This study assesses the structure-activity relationships of the actions of amylin on bone. In fetal rat osteoblasts, only intact amylin and amylin-(1-8) stimulated cell proliferation (half-maximal concentrations 2.0 × 10-11 and 2.4 × 10-10 M, respectively). Amylin-(8-37), COOH terminally deamidated amylin, reduced amylin, and reduced amylin-(1-8) (reduction results in cleavage of the disulfide ...
