Abstract
The present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising a first peptide linked to a second peptide, optionally via a linker molecule, which first peptide comprises an appetite regulating hormone peptide, e.g. glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1), such as amino acids 7-37 of the initial GLP-1 product (1-37), and a Neurotensin (NT) like peptide, targeting both the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and NT receptors (NTR1-3) and display an increased effect on decrease of appetite and food intake and body weight compared to simultaneous administration of both peptides.

A fusion peptide comprising a first peptide linked to a second peptide, which first peptide comprises the sequence:
- X1-X2-X3-X4-X5-X6-X7-X8-X9
- wherein
- X1 is L-histidine, D-histidine, desamino-histidine, 2-amino-histidine, β hydroxy-histidine, homohistidine, Nα-acetyl-histidine, α-fluoromethyl-histidine, α-methyl-histidine, 3-pyridylalanine, 2-pyridylalanine or 4-pyridylalanine;
- X2 is A, G, V, L, I, K, S, aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), (1-aminocyclopropyl) carboxylic acid, (1 aminocyclobutyl) carboxylic acid, (1-aminocyclopentyl) carboxylic acid, (1 aminocyclohexyl) carboxylic acid, (1-aminocycloheptyl) carboxylic acid, or (1-aminocyclooctyl) carboxylic acid;
- X3 is E, D or Q;
- X4 is G or A;
- X5 is T, V, S or I;
- X6 is F or Y;
- X7 is T, or S;
- X8 is S, V, or D;
- X9 is S, D, E, N or is not present, or
- the first peptide comprising the sequence laid out in SEQ ID NO:
- 40 or SEQ ID NO:
- 41 or SEQ ID NO:
- 42, and
- which second peptide has an amino acid sequence with at least 70% identity with any one of SEQ ID NO:24 to SEQ ID NO:31, or wherein the second peptide is selected from the list consisting of:
- X10-X11-P-X12-I-L;
- P-X10-X11-P-X12-I-L;
- K-P-X10-X11-P-X12-I-L;
- N-K-P-X10-X11-P-X12-I-L;
- E-N-K-P-X10-X11-P-X12-I-L;
- Y-E-N-K-P-X10-X11-P-X12-I-L;
- L-Y-E-N-K-P-X10-X11-P-X12-I-L;
- Q-L-Y-E-N-K-P-X10-X11-P-X12-I-L;
- or
- E-L-Y-E-N-K-P-X10-X11-P-X12-I-L
- wherein
- X10 is R or K;
- X11 is R or K;
- and
- X12 is Y, S, C or T, and wherein the fusion peptide is a dual agonist of both a glucagon like peptide 1 receptor and a neurotensin receptor.
