This invention provides long-acting, superactive analogs of glycoprotein hormones demonstrating enhanced bioactivity both in vitro and in vivo as compared to wild type counterparts. The analogs are particularly useful for treating subjects showing low receptor expression or poor receptor responsiveness, and for the treatment of any condition associated with glycoprotein hormone activity.

The present invention relates to luteinising hormone (LH) or to a molecule having LH-like activity or to a composition comprising it for use in inducing the activation, and/or the maturation of primordial and/or primary follicles in an individual.

Methods of treating acromegaly in a subject are described herein. Exemplary methods include orally administering to the subject at least once daily at least one dosage form comprising octreotide, wherein the octreotide in each dosage form is 20 mg, and wherein the administering occurs at least 1 hour before a meal or at least 2 hours after a meal.

The present disclosure describes recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and methods for the production thereof. The recombinant hCG can include α2,3, α2,6, and, optionally, α2,8 sialylation. The recombinant hCG can be produced in a human cell line such as a PER.C6® cell line.

The pharmaceutical compositions described herein include a suspension which comprises an admixture in solid form of a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic agent and at least one salt of a medium chain fatty acid and a hydrophobic medium, e.g. castor oil or glyceryl tricaprylate or a mixture thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions described herein contain medium chain fatty acid salts and are substantially free of alcohols. The pharmaceutical compositions may be encapsulated in a capsule. Methods of treating or preventing diseases by administering such compositions to affected subjects are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to CNP prodrugs in which the carrier is covalently and reversibly attached to the ring moiety of a CNP moiety, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such CNP prodrugs, to their uses and to methods of treating diseases that can be treated with the CNP prodrugs of the present invention.

Provided are various embodiments relating to fumarate salt of (R)-3-(1-(2,3-dichloro-4-(pyrazin-2-yl)phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1-methyl-1-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl) urea, and methods of producing and using the same to treat conditions and disorders associated with an increase of ghrelin level, such as food abuse, alcohol addiction, and other disorders (e.g., Prader-Willi syndrome). Also provided are various embodiments relating to crystalline HM04 free base, different crystalline forms of HM04 fumarate salt, and methods of producing the same.
