     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to the area of novel analogues of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds, and the use of said compounds as GIP-receptor agonists or antagonists for treatment of GIP-receptor mediated conditions, such as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and obesity. 
       BACKGROUND ART 
       [0003]    Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (“GIP”, also known as “gastric inhibitory polypeptide”; SEQ ID NO:1) is a 42-residue peptide secreted by enteroendorine K-cells of the small intestine into the bloodstream in response to oral nutrient ingestion. GIP inhibits the secretion of gastric acid, and it has been shown to be a potent stimulant for the secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta cells after oral glucose ingestion (the “incretin effect”) (Creutzfeldt, W., et al., 1979,  Diabetologia,  16:75-85). 
         [0004]    Insulin release induced by the ingestion of glucose and other nutrients is due to both hormonal and neural factors (Creutzfeldt, W., et al., 1985,  Diabetologia,  28:565-573). Several gastrointestinal regulatory peptides have been proposed as incretins, and among these candidates, only GIP and glucagon-like peptide 1 (“GLP-1”) appear to fulfill the requirements to be considered physiological stimulants of postprandial insulin release (Nauck, et al., 1989,  J. Clin. Endorinol. Metab.,  69:654-662). It has been shown that the combined effects of GIP and GLP-1 are sufficient to explain the full incretin effect of the enteroinsular axis (Fehmann, H. C., et al., 1989,  FEBS Lett.,  252:109-112). 
         [0005]    As is well known to those skilled in the art, the known and potential uses of GIP are varied and multitudinous. Thus, the administration of the compounds of this invention for purposes of eliciting an agonist effect can have the same effects and uses as GIP itself These varied uses of GIP may be summarized as follows: treating a disease selected from the group consisting of type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes (Visboll, T., 2004,  Dan. Med. Bull.,  51:364-70), insulin resistance (WO 2005082928), obesity (Green, B. D., et al., 2004,  Current Pharmaceutical Design,  10:3651-3662), metabolic disorder (Gault, V. A., et al., 2003,  Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.,  308:207-213), central nervous system disease, neurodegenerative disease, congestive heart failure, hypoglycemia, and disorders wherein the reduction of food intake and weight loss are desired. In pancreatic islets, GIP not only enhances insulin secretion acutely, but it also stimulates insulin production through enhancement of proinsulin transcription and translation (Wang, et al., 1996,  Mol. Cell. Endocrinol.,  116:81-87) and enhances the growth and survival of pancreatic beta cells (Trumper, et al., 2003,  Diabetes,  52:741-750). In addition to effects on the pancreas to enhance insulin secretion, GIP also has effects on insulin target tissues directly to lower plasma glucose: enhancement of glucose uptake in adipose (Eckel, et al., 1979,  Diabetes,  28:1141-1142) and muscle (O′Harte, et al., 1998,  J. Endocrinol.,  156:237-243), and inhibition of hepatic glucose production (Elahi, D., et al., 1986,  Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol.,  65:A18). 
         [0006]    In addition, a GIP receptor antagonist in accordance with the present invention inhibits, blocks or reduces glucose absorption from the intestine of an animal. In accordance with this observation, therapeutic compositions containing GIP antagonists may be used in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus to improve tolerance to oral glucose in mammals, such as humans, to prevent, inhibit or reduce obesity by inhibiting, blocking or reducing glucose absorption from the intestine of the mammal. 
         [0007]    The use of unmodified GIP as a therapeutic, however, is limited by the short in vivo half-life of about 2 minutes (Said and Mutt, 1970,  Science,  169:1217-1218). In serum, both incretins, GIP and GLP-1, are degraded by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (“DPPIV”). Improving the stability of GIP to proteolysis not only maintains the activity of GIP at its receptor but, more importantly, prevents the production of GIP fragments, some of which act as GIP receptor antagonists (Gault, et al., 2002,  J. Endocrinol.,  175:525-533). Reported modifications have included protection of the N-terminus of GIP from proteolysis by DPPIV through modification of the N-terminal tyrosine (O′Harte, et al., 2002,  Diabetologia,  45:1281-1291), mutation of the alanine at position 2 (Hinke, et al., 2002,  Diabetes,  51:656-661), mutation of glutamic acid at position 3 (Gault, et al., 2003,  Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.,  308:207-213), and mutation of alanine at position 13 (Gault, et al., 2003,  Cell Biol. International,  27:41-46), 
         [0008]    The following patent applications have been filed related to the effects of GIP analogues on the function of various target organs and their potential use as therapeutic agents: 
         [0009]    PCT publication WO 0058360 discloses peptidyl analogues of GIP which stimulate the release of insulin. In particular, this application discloses specific peptidyl analogues comprising at least 15 amino acid residues from the N-terminal end of GIP(1-42), e.g., an analogue of GIP containing exactly one amino acid substitution or modification at positions 1, 2 and 3, such as [Pro 3 ]GIP(1-42). 
         [0010]    PCT publication WO 9824464 discloses an antagonist of GIP consisting essentially of a 24-amino acid polypeptide corresponding to positions 7-30 of the sequence of GIP, a method of treating non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and a method of improving glucose tolerance in a non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patient. 
         [0011]    PCT publication WO 03082898 discloses C-terminal truncated fragments and N-terminal modified analogues of GIP, as well as various GIP analogues with a reduced peptide bond or alterations of the amino acids close to the DPPIV-specific cleavage site. This application further discloses analogues with different linkers between potential receptor binding sites of GIP. The compounds of this application are alleged to be useful in treating GIP-receptor mediated conditions, such as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and obesity. 
         [0012]    There exists a need for improved analogues of GIP, which are stable in formulation and have long plasma half-life in vivo resulting from decreased susceptibility to proteolysis and decreased clearance while maintaining binding affinity to a GIP receptor to elicit respective agonistic or antagonistic effects. Moreover, among other therapeutic effects of the compounds of the present invention as illustrated herein, tighter control of plasma glucose levels may prevent long-term diabetic complications, thereby providing an improved quality of life for patients.

       Synthesis 
       [0360]    The peptides of this invention can be prepared by standard solid phase peptide synthesis. See, e.g., Stewart, J. M., et al., 1984,  Solid Phase Synthesis , Pierce Chemical Co., 2d ed. If R 1  is NH—X 2 —CH 2 —CONH 2 , i.e., Z 0 ═CONH 2 , the synthesis of the peptide starts with Fmoc-HN—X 2 —CH 2 —CONH 2  which is coupled to Rink amide MBHA resin. If R 1  is NH—X 2 —CH 2 —COOH, i.e., Z 0 ═COOH, the synthesis of the peptide starts with Fmoc-HN—X 2 —CH 2 —COOH which is coupled to Wang resin. For this particular step, 2 molar equivalents of Fmoc-HN—X 2 —COOH, HBTU and HOBt and 10 molar equivalents of DIPEA are used. The coupling time is about 8 hours. 
         [0361]    In the synthesis of a GIP analogue of this invention containing A5c, A6c, andor Aib, the coupling time is 2 hrs for these residues and the residue immediately following them. 
         [0362]    The substituents R 2  and R 3  of the above generic formula can be attached to the free amine of the N-terminal amino acid A 1  by standard methods known in the art. For example, alkyl groups, e.g., (C 1 -C 30 )alkyl, can be attached using reductive alkylation. Hydroxyalkyl groups, e.g., (C 1 -C 30 )hydroxyalkyl, can also be attached using reductive alkylation wherein the free hydroxy group is protected with a tent-butyl ester. Acyl groups, e.g., —C(O)X 3 , can be attached by coupling the free acid, e.g., —X 3 COOH, to the free amine of the N-terminal amino acid by mixing the completed resin with 3 molar equivalents of both the free acid and diisopropylcarbodiimide in methylene chloride for about one hour. If the free acid contains a free hydroxy group, e.g., 3-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, then the coupling should be performed with an additional 3 molar equivalents of HOBT. 
         [0363]    The following examples describe synthetic methods for making a peptide of this invention, which methods are well-known to those skilled in the art. Other methods are also known to those skilled in the art. The examples are provided for the purpose of illustration and are not meant to limit the scope of the present invention in any manner. 
         [0000]    Example 73: [Aib 2 , A6c 7 , Cys(Psu) 41 ]hGIP(1-42)-OH 
         [0364]    Solid-phase peptide synthesis was used to assemble the peptide using microwave-assisted Fmoc Chemistry on a Liberty Peptide Synthesizer (CEM; Matthews, N.C., USA) at the 0.1 mmole scale. Pre-loaded Fmoc-Gln(Trt)-Wang resin (0.59 mmoleg; Novabiochem, San Diego, Calif., USA) was used to generate the C-terminal acid peptide. The resin (0.17 g) was placed in a 50 ml conical tube along with 15 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF) and loaded onto a resin position on the synthesizer. The resin was then quantitatively transferred to the reaction vessel via the automated process. The standard Liberty synthesis protocol for 0.1 mmole scale synthesis was used. This protocol involved deprotecting the N-terminal Fmoc moiety via an initial treatment with 7 ml of 20% piperidine, containing 0.1M N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT), in DMF. The initial deprotection step was for 30 seconds with microwave power (45 watts, maximum temperature of 75° C.), and nitrogen bubbling (3 seconds on 7 seconds off). The reaction vessel was then drained and a second piperidine treatment, identical to the first treatment, except that it was for a 3-minute duration. The resin was then drained and thoroughly washed with DMF several times. The protected amino acid, Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-OH, prepared as 0.2M stock solution in DMF, was then added (2.5 ml, 5 eq.), followed by 1.0 ml of 0.45M (4.5 eq.) HBTU [2-(1H-benzo-triazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosaphate] in DMF. This was followed by the addition of 0.5 ml of 2M (10 eq.) DIPEA (diisopropylethylamine) in NMP (N-methylpyrrollidinone). The coupling step was performed for 5 minutes using 20 watts of microwave power, a max temperature of 75° C., and the same rate of nitrogen bubbling. 
         [0365]    Following the initial coupling step, the reaction vessel was drained to waste and the coupling step repeated. Cycle 2 was then initiated similar to cycle 1. All amino acids were introduced similarly and a double-coupling strategy was employed throughout the entire sequence. Cycles 1-3, 19-20, 25-26, and 30-39 contained a capping procedure immediately following the coupling step. Capping was performed by adding 7 ml of 0.5M acetic anhydride, containing 0.015M HOBT in NMP, along with 2 ml of the 2M DIPEA solution using a multi-step microwave protocol: 50 watts of power for 30 seconds (65° C. max temperature), followed by 30 seconds of microwave power off, followed by a second round of 30 seconds of microwave power on (50 watts), and then again 30 seconds of no microwave power. The resin was then drained and thoroughly washed with DMF. The following amino acids (Advanced Chemtech, Louisville, Ky., USA) were used: Cycle 1: Fmoc-Cys(Trt)-OH; Cycle 2: Fmoc-Ile-OH; Cycle 3: Fmoc-Asn(Trt)-OH; Cycle 4: Fmoc-His(Trt)-OH; Cycle 5: Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH; Cycle 6: Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH; Cycle 7: Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH; Cycle 8: Fmoc-Asn(Trt)-OH; Cycle 9: Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH; Cycle 10: Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH; Cycle 11: Fmoc-Gly-OH; Cycle 12: Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH; Cycle 13: Fmoc-Gln(Trt)-OH; Cycle 14: Fmoc-Ala-OH; Cycle 15: Fmoc-Leu-OH; Cycle 16: Fmoc-Leu-OH; Cycle 17: Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH; Cycle 18: Fmoc-Asn(Trt)-OH; Cycle 19: Fmoc-Val-OH; Cycle 20: Fmoc-Phe-OH; Cycle 21: Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH; Cycle 22: Fmoc-Gln(Trt)-OH; Cycle 23: Fmoc-Gln(Trt)-OH; Cycle 24: Fmoc-His(Trt)-OH; Cycle 25: Fmoc-Ile-OH; Cycle 26: Fmoc-Lys(Boc)-OH; Cycle 27: Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH; Cycle 28: Fmoc-Met-OH; Cycle 29: Fmoc-Ala-OH; Cycle 30: Fmoc-Ile-OH; Cycle 31: Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-Ser(psiMe,Me,Pro)-OH; Cycle 32: Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH; Cycle 33: Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH; Cycle 34: Fmoc-A6c-OH; Cycle 35: Fmoc-Phe-OH; Cycle 36: Fmoc-Gly-Thr(psiMe,Me,Pro)-OH; Cycle 37: Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH; Cycle 38: Fmoc-Ala-OH; and Cycle 39: Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-OH. The coupling protocol for Fmoc-His(Trt)-OH was a slightly modified version of the standard protocol. The microwave power was off for the first 2 minutes, followed by 4 minutes with microwave power on (20 watts; max temperature of 50° C.). Once the peptide backbone was complete, standard piperidine treatment was used to remove the N-terminal Fmoc group. The resin was then thoroughly washed with DMF and then transferred back to the 50 ml conical tube using DMF as the transfer solvent. 
         [0366]    The resin was deprotected and cleaved from the resin via treatment with 5 ml of the following reagent: 5% TIS, 2% water, 5% (wv) dithiothrieitol (DTT), 88% TFA, and allowed to mix for 3.5 hours. The filtrate was collected into 45 ml of cold anhydrous ethyl ether. The precipitate was pelleted for 10 minutes at 3500 RPM in a refrigerated centrifuge. The ether was decanted, and the peptide re-suspended in fresh ether. The ether workup was performed a total of 2 times. Following the last ether wash, the peptide was allowed to air dry to remove residual ether. The peptide pellet was resuspended in 8 ml of acetonitrile (Acn) followed by 8 ml of de-ionized water, and allowed to fully dissolve. The peptide solution was then analyzed by mass spectrometry. Mass analysis employing electrospray ionization identified a main product containing a mass of 5011.7 Daltons; corresponding to the desired linear product. The crude product (approximately 500 mg) was analysed by HPLC, employing a 250×4.6 mm C18 column (Phenomenex; Torrance, Calif., USA) using a gradient of 2-80% acetonitrile (0.1% TFA) over 30 minutes. Analytical HPLC identified a product with 34% purity. The crude peptide was then purified on a preparative HPLC equipped with a C18 reverse phase column using a 10-60% acetonirile (0.1% TFA) over 50 minutes at a 10 mlmin flowrate. The purified peptide was then lyophilized yielding 15 mg of peptide. The linear peptide was then derivatized with N-propylmaleimide (Pma) to generate the propylsuccinimide (Psu) derivative on the Cysteine side chain. The purified linear peptide was brought up in water, adjusted to pH 6.5 with ammonium carbonate, at 5 mg/ml. Five equivalents of Pma was added with constant stirring for 30 seconds. The derivatized peptide solution was then analyzed by mass spectrometry. Mass analysis employing electrospray ionization identified a main product containing a mass of 5150.7 Daltons; corresponding to the desired Psu derivatized product. The product was then re-purified via preparative HPLC using a similar gradient as before. The purified product was analyzed by HPLC for purity (95.10%) and mass spectrometry (5150.9 Daltons) and subsequently lyophilized.

         [0367]    Solid-phase peptide synthesis was used to assemble the peptide using microwave-assisted Fmoc Chemistry on a Liberty Peptide Synthesizer (CEM; Matthews, N.C., USA) at the 0 1 mmole scale.

HBTU [2-(1H-benzo-triazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosaphate] in DMF. This was followed by the addition of 0.5 ml of 2M (10 eq.) DIPEA (diisopropylethylamine) in NMP (N-methylpyrrollidinone). The coupling step was performed for 5 minutes using 20 watts of microwave power, a max temperature of 75° C., and the same rate of nitrogen bubbling. 
         [0368]    Following the initial coupling step the reaction vessel was drained to waste and the coupling step repeated. Cycle 2 was then initiated similar to cycle 1.

The coupling protocol for Fmoc-His(Trt)-OH was a slightly modified version of the standard protocol. The microwave power was off for the first 2 minutes, followed by 4 minutes with microwave power on (20 watts; max temperature of 50° C.). Once the peptide backbone was complete, the resin was treated with 12 ml of 1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) 5% triisopropylsilane (TIS) in dichloromethane (DCM) for 5 minutes and a N 2  sparge rate of 5 seconds on and 10 seconds off The resin was then drained and again treated with the 1% TFA 5% TIS in DCM solution for 5 minutes. This was performed a total of 7 times to effectively remove the Mtt moiety from the Ornithine side chain. The resin was thoroughly washed with DCM several times, and then treated with the standard piperidine treatment in order to neutralize residual TFA salt on the 61\1 of ornithine. Myristic acid, (CH 3 -(CH 2 ) 12 -COOH; Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo., USA) prepared as a 0.2M solution in DMF, was coupled to the ornithine side chain using the standard amino acid coupling protocol. The resin was then thoroughly washed with DMF and then transferred back to the 50 ml conical tube using DMF as the transfer solvent. 
         [0369]    The resin was deprotected and cleaved from the resin via treatment with 5 ml of the following reagent: 5% TIS, 2% water, 5% (wv) dithiothrieitol (DTT), 88% TFA, and allowed to mix for 3.5 hours.

The ether was decanted, and the peptide re-suspended in fresh ether. The ether workup was performed a total of 2 times.

The peptide pellet was resuspended in 8 ml of acetonitrile (Acn) followed by 8 ml of de-ionized water, and allowed to fully dissolve. The peptide solution was then analyzed by mass spectrometry. Mass analysis employing electrospray ionization identified a main product containing a mass of 5205.1 Daltons; corresponding to the desired linear product. The crude product (approximately 500 mg) was analysed by HPLC, employing a 250×4.6 mm C18 column (Phenomenex; Torrance, Calif., USA) using a gradient of 2-80% acetonitrile (0.1% TFA) over 30 minutes. Analytical HPLC identified a product with 50% purity. The peptide was then purified on a preparative HPLC equipped with a C18 column using a similar elution gradient. The purified product was re-analyzed by HPLC for purity (95.50%) and mass spectrometry (5156.7 Daltons) and subsequently lyophilized. Following lyophillization, 6.2 mg of purified product was obtained representing a 1.2% yield.

       Functional Assays 
       [0371]    A. In Vitro hGIP Receptor Binding Assay 
         [0372]    Membranes for in vitro receptor binding assays were prepared by homogenizing the CHO-K1 clonal cells expressing the human recombinant GIP receptor, with a Brinkman Polytron (setting 6, 15 sec), in ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl and then subjected to two centrifugations at 39,000 g for 10 minutes, with a resuspension in fresh buffer in between. For the assay, aliquots of the washed membrane preparations were incubated (100 minutes at 25° C. with 0.05nM [ 125 I]GIP (approximately 2200 Ci/mmol) in 50 mM Tris-HCl, 0.1 mg/ml bacitracin, and 0.1% BSA. The final assay volume was 0.5 ml. The incubations were terminated by rapid filtration through GFC filters (pre-soaked in 0.5% polyethylenimine) using a Brandel filtration manifold. Each tube and filter were then washed three times with 5-ml aliquots of ice-cold buffer. Specific binding was defined as the total radioligand bound minus that bound in the presence of 1000nM GIP. In vitro hGIP receptor binding data for the compounds exemplified herein are given in Table 2. 
       B. Human and Rat Plasma Half-Life Assay 
       [0373]    GIP peptide (50 μL 1 mg/ml) was added to 450 μL plasma (human or rat), vertexed briefly and incubated at 37° C. 50 μL was removed at various times, like at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 24, 32, 48, 56, 72 hours, mixed with 5 μL formic acid and 150 μL acetonitrile in a microcentrifuge tube, vertexed, and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 10K rpm. The supernatant was transferred to an injection vial and analyzed by LC-MS. The LC-MS system consisted of an API4000 mass spectrometer with an ESI probe. Positive ion mode and full scan detection were used. HPLC separation was carried out on a Luna 3μ C8 (2), 2×30 mm column with a gradient from 90% A to 90% B in 10 minutes at a flow rate of 0.3 mlmin. Buffer A was 1% formic acid in water and buffer B was 1% formic acid acetonitrile. Human and rat plasma half-life data for the compounds exemplified herein are given in Table 2.

         [0374]    In comparison to the data listed in Table 2, the in vitro hGIP receptor binding data, and human and rat plasma half-life data for [Pro 3 ]hGIP(1-42)-OH, a compound disclosed in PCT publication WO 0058360, were measured under the same experimental conditions as described hereinabove to be 170.8 nM, and 10.8 hours and 0.8 hours, respectively. 
         [0000]    C. Determination of cyclic AMP Stimulation 
         [0375]    1×105 CHO-K1 cells expressing the human recombinant GIP receptor or RIN-5F insulinoma cells were seeded overnight into 24-well cell culture plates (Corning Incorporate, Corning, N.Y., USA). 
         [0376]    For the assay, the cells were preincubated in 500 μl of Hanks balanced salt solution (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo., USA) with 0.55 mM IBMX (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo., USA) adjusted to pH 7.3 for 10 minutes. GIP or its analogs was then added at a concentration of 100 nM. Following a 30-minute incubation at 37° C., the plates were placed on ice and 500 μl of ice-cold absolute ethanol was added to stop the reaction. The contents of the wells were collected, spun at 2,700 g for 20 minutes at 4° C. to remove cellular debris. The cAMP levels in the supernatants were determined by radioimmunoassay (New England Nuclear, Boston, Mass., USA). 
         [0000]    D. Determination of in vivo Insulin Secretion in Normal Rats 
         [0377]    Male Sprague Dawley rats with a body weight of approximately 275-300 g were used as experimental subjects. The day prior to the treatment, right atrial cannulae were implanted via the jugular vein under chlorohydrate. Each cannula was filled with 100 u/ml heparin saline and tied. The rats were fasted for approximately 18 hours prior to dosing with the compound or the vehicle (saline0.25% BSA). The day of the experiment, aliquots of compound were thawed, brought to room temperature and vortexed thoroughly. A careful check was made for any sign of compound coming out of solution. 10 minutes prior to compoundglucose injection, a 500 μl blood sample was withdrawn and replaced with an equal volume of heparinized saline (10 u/ml). At time 0, a 500 μl blood sample was withdrawn through the cannula. Next, either the vehicle or the appropriate dose of the compound was injected into the cannula and pushed in with the glucose (1 g/kg) or vehicle /solution. Finally, 500 μl of volume of heparinized saline (10 u/ml) was used to push in the remaining glucose through the cannula. Additional 500 μl blood samples were withdrawn at 2.5, 5, 10, and 20-minute post-glucose dosing; each immediately followed by a bolus, iv injection of 500 μl heparinized saline (10 u/ml) through the cannula. The plasma was collected from the blood samples by centrifugation, and stored at -20° C. until assay for insulin content. Numerical values of the total insulin secretion, which show the in vivo effects of the compounds of Examples 105, 106, 118, and 119, are summarized in Table 3.

       Administration 
       [0378]    The peptides of this invention can be provided in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Examples of such salts include, but are not limited to, those formed with organic acids (e.g., acetic, lactic, maleic, citric, malic, ascorbic, succinic, benzoic, methanesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, or pamoic acid), inorganic acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or phosphoric acid), and polymeric acids (e.g., tannic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose, polylactic, polyglycolic, or copolymers of polylactic-glycolic acids). A typical method of making a salt of a peptide of the present invention is well known in the art and can be accomplished by standard methods of salt exchange. Accordingly, the TFA salt of a peptide of the present invention (the TFA salt results from the purification of the peptide by using preparative HPLC, eluting with TFA containing buffer solutions) can be converted into another salt, such as an acetate salt by dissolving the peptide in a small amount of 0.25 N acetic acid aqueous solution. The resulting solution is applied to a semi-prep HPLC column (Zorbax, 300 SB, C-8). The column is eluted with (1) 0.1N ammonium acetate aqueous solution for 0.5 hrs, (2) 0.25N acetic acid aqueous solution for 0.5 hrs, and (3) a linear gradient (20% to 100% of solution B over 30 minutes) at a flow rate of 4 mlmin (solution A is 0.25N acetic acid aqueous solution; solution B is 0.25N acetic acid in acetonitrilewater, 80:20). The fractions containing the peptide are collected and lyophilized to dryness. 
         [0379]    The dosage of active ingredient in the compositions of this invention may be varied; however, it is necessary that the amount of the active ingredient be such that a suitable dosage form is obtained. The selected dosage depends upon the desired therapeutic effect, on the route of administration, and on the duration of the treatment. In general, an effective dosage for the activities of this invention is in the range of 1×10 −7  to 200 mg/kgday, preferably 1×10 −4  to 100 mg/kgday, which can be administered as a single dose or divided into multiple doses. 
         [0380]    The compounds of this invention can be administered by oral, parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous or subcutaneous injection, or implant), nasal, vaginal, rectal, sublingual, or topical routes of administration, and can be formulated with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers to provide dosage forms appropriate for each route of administration. 
         [0381]    Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is admixed with at least one inert pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms can also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than such inert diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings. 
         [0382]    Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, without limitation, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, elixirs, and the like, containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Besides such inert diluents, compositions can also include adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, and sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents. 
         [0383]    Preparations according to this invention for parenteral administration include, without limitation, sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and the like. Examples of non-aqueous solvents or vehicles include propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, such as olive oil and corn oil, gelatin, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Such dosage forms may also contain adjuvants such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing agents. They may be sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, by incorporating sterilizing agents into the compositions, by irradiating the compositions, or by heating the compositions. They can also be manufactured in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved in sterile water, or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. 
         [0384]    Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which may contain, in addition to the active substance, excipients such as coca butter or a suppository wax. 
         [0385]    Compositions for nasal or sublingual administration are also prepared with standard excipients well known in the art.
