GLYCOL LINKED FGF-21 COMPOUNDS

摘要

The invention provides FGF-21 compounds covalently attached to at least one polyethylene glycol molecule or derivative thereof, resulting in a biologically active polypeptide with an extended elimination half-life and a slower clearance when compared to that of non-PEGylated polypeptide. These PEGylated FGF-21 compounds and compositions are useful in treating diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.
