A proopiomelanocortin‐derived peptide sequence enhances plasma stability of peptide drugs

Abstract: Bioactive peptide drugs hold promise for therapeutic application due to their high potency and selectivity but display short plasma half‐life. Examination of selected naturally occurring peptide hormones derived from proteolytic cleavage of the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) precursor lead to the identification of significant plasma‐stabilizing properties of a 12‐amino acid serine‐rich orphan sequence NSSSSGSSGAGQ in human γ3‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (MSH) that is homologous to previously discovered NSnGGH (… Show more

“…Tyto alba and human to ‐MSH peptides retained longer biological activity in plasma when including C‐terminal natural extensions 14,15 . Here, we opted for the (bio)‐chemical analysis of synthetic human analogues γ2‐MSH* (YVMGHFRWDRFG‐NH 2 ) and γ3‐MSH (YVMGHFRWDRFGRRNSSSSGSSGAGQ) (Table 1, Figure 1B).…”

Since biological activity is a downstream readout to the actual concentration of the MSHs, we first investigated whether this reading directly correlates with a different decay of the two peptides in plasma.…”
