Davalintide (AC-2307) is a second-generation mimetic of a pancreatic peptide hormone amylin, developed by Amylin Pharmaceuticals. In preclinical models, davalintide possessed enhanced pharmacological properties and was able to reduce food intake. Safety, tolerability, and effect on body weight of subcutaneous davalintide were investigated in obese or overweight subjects. The results of the clinical trial were not reported, but Amylin decided to discontinue davalintide in 2010.
Ularitide is a recombinant form of urodilatin, a natriuretic peptide synthesized in the distal tubular cells of the kidney. It regulates renal sodium and water excretion through binding to natriuretic peptide type A receptors, increasing intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels. While these effects, as well as others such as vasodilation, are also exhibited by other natriuretic peptides, urodilatin has a terminal extension that brings resistance to biological inactivation by neutral endopeptidase, whose activity is increased in decompensated heart failure. Animal studies have demonstrated enhanced diuresis and natriuresis and reduced PCWP (pulmonary capillary wedge pressure) and systemic vascular resistance relative to atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP [99-126], the active circulating isoform). When injected into the blood, ularitide appears to cause diuresis (urine output) and natriuresis (sodium excretion), as well as vasodilation. Ularitide is currently in Phase 3 development as a potential treatment for patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
FERTIRELIN is an analog of luteinizing hormone releasing factor. The drug has been used since 1981 in Japan to treat various types of reproductive failure in cattle.
Gonadorelin is a synthetic decapeptide prepared using solid phase peptide synthesis. GnRH is responsible for the release of follicle stimulating hormone and leutinizing hormone from the anterior pitutitary. In the pituitary GnRH stimulates synthesis and release of FSH and LH, a process that is controlled by the frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses, as well as the feedback of androgens and estrogens. The pulsatility of GnRH secretion has been seen in all vertebrates, and it is necessary to ensure a correct reproductive function. Thus a single hormone, GnRH, controls a complex process of follicular growth, ovulation, and corpus luteum maintenance in the female, and spermatogenesis in the male. Its short half life requires infusion pumps for its clinical use. Gonadorelin is used for the treatment of amenorrhea, delayed puberty, and infertility the administration of gonadorelin is used to simulate the physiologic release of GnRH from the hypothalamus in treatment of delayed puberty, treatment of infertility caused by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and induction of ovulation in those women with hypothalamic amenorrhea. This results in increased levels of pituitary gonadotropins LH and FSH, which subsequently stimulate the gonads to produce reproductive steroids.
