Abstract: |
The present invention is directed to contulakin-G (which is the native glycosylated peptide), a des-glycosylated contulakin-G (termed Thr10-contulakin-G), and derivatives thereof, to a cDNA clone encoding a precursor of this mature peptide and to a precursor peptide. The invention is further directed to the use of this peptide as a therapeutic for anti-seizure, anti-inflammatory, anti-shock, anti-thrombus, hypotensive, analgesia, anti-psychotic, Parkinson's disease, gastrointestinal disorders, depressive states, cognitive dysfunction, anxiety, tardive dyskinesia, drug dependency, panic attack, mania, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, ulcer, GI tumors, Tourette's syndrome, Huntington's chorea, vascular leakage, anti-arteriosclerosis, vascular and vasodilation disorders, as well as neurological, neuropharmalogical and neuropsychopharmacological disorders.

What is claimed is:
1. A method for treating pain in an individual which comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of an active agent to a individual in need of pain treatment, said active agent selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) contulakin-G comprising the amino acid sequence Xaa1 -Ser-Glu-Glu-Gly-Gly-Ser-Asn-Ala-Thr-Lys-Xaa2 -Tyr-Ile-Leu (SEQ ID NO:1), where Xaa1 is pyro-Glu, Xaa2 is proline or hydroxyproline and Thr10 is modified to contain O-glycan;
- b) a generic contulakin-G having the following general formula Xaa1 -Xaa2 -Xaa3 -Xaa3 -Gly-Gly-Xaa2 -Xaa4 -Xaa5 -Xaa6 -Xaa7 -Xaa8 -Xaa7 -Xaa9 -Xaa10 -lle-Leu (SEQ ID NO:2), where Xaa1 is pyro-Glu, Glu, Gln or γ-carboxy-Glu; Xaa2 is Ser, Thr or S-glycan modified Cys; Xaa3 is Glu or γ-carboxy-Glu; Xaa4 is Asn, N-glycan modified Asn or S-glycan modified Cys; Xaa5 is Ala or Gly; Xaa6 is Thr, Ser, S-glycan modified Cys, Tyr or any hydroxy containing unnatural amino acid; Xaa7 is Lys, N-methyl-Lys, N,N-dimethyl-Lys, N,N,N-trimethyl-Lys, Arg, ornithine, homoarginine or any unnatural basic amino acid; Xaa8 is Ala, Gly, Lys, N-methyl-Lys, N,N-dimethyl-Lys, N,N,N-trimethyl-Lys, Arg, ornithine, homoarginine, any unnatural basic amino acid or X-Lys where X is (CH2)n, phenyl, --(CH2)m --(CH=CH)--(CH2)m H or --(CH2)m --(C.ident.C)--(CH2)m H in which n is 1-4 and m is 0-2; Xaa9 is Pro or hydroxy-Pro; and Xaa10 is Tyr, mono-iodo-Tyr, di-iodo-Tyr, O-sulpho-Tyr, O-phospho-Tyr, nitro-Tyr, Trp, D-Trp, bromo-Trp, bromo-D-Trp, chloro-Trp, chloro-D-Trp, Phe, L-neo-Trp, or any unnatural aromatic amino acid, with the proviso that the generic contulakin-G is not desglycosylated contulakin-G;
- (c) a generic contulakin-G of (b) which is modified to contain an O-glycan, an S-glycan or an N-glycan;
- (d) a contulakin-G analog which comprises an N-terminal truncation of from 1 to 9 amino acids of the generic contulakin-G of (b);
- (e) a contulakin-G analog of (c), wherein an Ser-O-glycan, Thr-O-glycan or Cys-S-glycan is substituted for the amino acid residue at the truncated N-terminus;
- (f) a contulakin-G analog of (c), wherein an Ser-O-glycan, Thr-O-glycan or Cys-S-glycan is substituted for a residue at positions 2-9 of the generic contulakin-G; and
- (g) a contulakin-G analog which comprises an N-terminal truncation of 10 amino acids of the generic contulakin-G of (b) which is further modified to contain a Lys-N-glycan at residue 11 of the generic contulakin-G.
