Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a gastrointestinal hormone that has been proposed as a potential therapeutic option for obesity-diabetes. As such, (pGlu-Gln)-CCK-8 is an N-terminally modified CCK-8 analogue with improved biological effectiveness over the native peptide.METHODS: The current study has examined the in vitro stability, biological activity and in vivo therapeutic applicability of a novel second generation mini-PEGylated form of (pGlu-Gln)-CCK-8, (pGlu-Gln)-CCK-8[mPEG].RESULTS: (pGlu-Gln)-CCK-8[mPEG] was completely resistant to enzymatic degradation and in addition displayed similar insulinotropic (p
