- Abstract
<bold>Background: </bold>Therapeutic benefits of peptide-based drugs is limited by rapid renal elimination.<bold>Methods: </bold>Therefore, to prolong the biological action profile of the recently characterized triple-acting hybrid peptide, exendin-4/gastrin/xenin-8-Gln, a fatty acid (C-16) has been covalently attached, creating exendin-4(Lys27 PAL)/gastrin/xenin-8-Gln. Exendin-4/gastrin and liraglutide/gastrin/xenin-8-Gln were also synthesized as direct comparator peptides.<bold>Results: </bold>All hybrid peptides evoked significant concentration-dependent increases of insulin secretion from isolated murine islets and BRIN-BD11 cells. Following administration of peptides with glucose to mice, all hybrids significantly reduced the overall glycaemic excursion and increased insulin concentrations. In contrast to other treatments, exendin-4(Lys27 PAL)/gastrin/xenin-8-Gln displayed impressive antihyperglycaemic actions even 12 hours after administration, highlighting protracted duration of effects. Exendin-4/gastrin/xenin-8-Gln, exendin-4/gastrin, and exendin-4(Lys27 PAL)/gastrin/xenin-8-Gln were then progressed to a 31-day twice-daily treatment regimen in obese-diabetic ob/ob mice. All treatments decreased nonfasting glucose and HbA1c concentrations, as well as enhancing circulating and pancreatic insulin levels. Exendin-4/gastrin and exendin-4/gastrin/xenin-8-Gln also decreased food intake. Glucose tolerance was improved by all treatments, but only exendin-4(Lys27 PAL)/gastrin/xenin-8-Gln augmented glucose-induced insulin secretion. Interestingly, treatment regimens that included a xenin component induced clear advantages on the metabolic response to glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and the glucose-lowering actions of insulin.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>This study emphasizes the therapeutic promise of long-acting, multi-targeting hybrid gut peptides for type 2 diabetes.
