Described are peptide analogs of glucagon, which have been modified to be resistant to cleavage and inactivation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and to increase in vivo half-life of the peptide analog while enabling the peptide analog to have relatively balanced agonist activity at the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor and the glucagon (GCG) receptor, and the use of such GLP-1 receptor/GCG receptor co-agonists for treatment of metabolic disorders such as diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and obesity.本發明描述升糖素之胜肽類似物,其業經修飾以抵抗藉由二肽基肽酶IV(dipeptidyl peptidase IV;DPP-IV)之裂解及失活作用,並可增加該胜肽類似物之活體內半衰期,同時使胜肽類似物在升糖素樣肽1(GLP-1)受體及升糖素(GCG)受體處具有相對平衡之促效劑活性,及一種此等GLP-1受體/GCG受體共促效劑於治療代謝疾病(諸如糖尿病、非酒精性脂肪肝病(non-alcoholic fatty liver disease;NAFLD)、非酒精性脂肪肝炎(non-alcoholic steatohepatitis;NASH)及肥胖)之用途。
