The application concerns stable and protracted GLP-1 derivatives which are GLP-l/glucagon receptor co-agonists, compositions thereof, use of the GLP-1 derivatives in medicine, and to methods of treatment comprising administration of the GLP-1 derivatives to patients, including treatment of diabetes, obesity and related diseases and conditions. Prefered GLP-1 derivatives comprise a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of Formula I: lmp-X8-His-Gly-Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Asp-Xl 6-Ser-Xi 8-Tyr-Leu-Glu-X22- X23-Ala-Ala -X26-X27-Phe-I le-Ala-Trp-Leu-X33-X34-X35-X36-X37 [I], wherein - X8 is Ala, Aib, Acb, or Gly; - X16 is Val, Leu, lie, or Tyr; - X18 is Lys or Arg; - X22 is Gly, Ala, Glu, Lys, Arg, Ser, orAib; - X23 is Gin, Arg, or Lys; - X26 is Lys or Arg; - X27 is Glu or Lys; - X33 is Val, Leu, or lle; - X34 is Lys or Arg; - X35 is Gly, Thr, Lys, or is absent; - X36 is Ala, Gly, Lys, Ser, or is absent; - X37 is Gly or is absent; wherein said GLP-i derivative further comprises a substituent comprising a lipophilic moiety and at least two negatively charged moieties, wherein one of said negatively charged moieties is distal of a lipophilic moiety; wherein said polypeptide optionally comprises a C-terminal amide; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or ester thereof. |
