METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF DIABETES USING PEPTIDE ANALOGUES OF INSULIN

摘要

The present invention is directed toward peptide analogues of insulin (B) chain that are generally derived from peptides comprising residues (9 to 23) of the native (B) chain sequence. The analogues are altered from the native sequence at position (12, 13, 15) and/or (16), and may be additionally altered at position (19) and/or other positions. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these peptide analogues are provided. The peptide analogues are useful for treating and inhibiting the development of diabetes.
