The reactions containing the peptide were collected, and lyophilized to obtain pure product with HPLC purity greater than 95% (if the purity does not meet the requirements, HPLC purification can be repeated once). The isolated product was analyzed by LC-MS.

Example 3. In Vitro Activity Determination of GCGR and GLP-IR
(52) Stimulation effect on glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1 receptor) and glucagon receptor was determined using cAMP assay kit manufactured by the Cisbo company, meanwhile the dose-effect curves of positive control compound glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1), Exenatide and Glucagon were detected.
(53) 5000 of HEK-293 cells, which are used in CRE-luciferase system and express human GCGR or GLP-1R stably, were inoculated into 384 well plates according to 98 L DMEM/10% FBS media/well. On the second day of inoculation, 2 L of sample to be tested was gradient transferred, and the cells were mixed and incubated for 12 hours. Before the cells are added to obtain dose-response curve (EC.sub.50 values were determined from the curve), usually the compound to be tested was prepared into 10 diluted solutions containing from 0.005 nm to 100.0 nM, and Exenatide standard (purchased from Hangzhou Paitai Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd., purity >98%, Exenatide aceteate, CAS No.: 141732-76-5) was prepared into 10 standard solutions of 0.005 nm to 100.0 nm, and Glucagon standard (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich company, product No. and specifications: 1294036-2X2.94MG, CAS No.: 16941-32-5) was prepared into 10 standard solutions of 0.01 nm to 100 nm. After incubation, 10.0 L of luciferase reagent was added directly to each plate and mixed gently for 2 minutes. The plates were placed into an Elmer Perkin plate reader for reading. Concentration curve of the compound was made by drawing software Prism 5, and the EC.sub.50 value was calculated.
(54) Compared with oxyntomodulin purchased from Shanghai Yinggong Industrial Co., Ltd., product No.: Es-1240), the compounds of the present invention have higher relative GLP-1R selectivity and have higher potency on glucagon receptor and GLP-1 receptor.

Example 4 Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Compounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and Ex-4
(58) Male CD1 mice (Nanjing University model animal research center) were respectively administrated by intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous injection (SC) with Compound 4, 5, 6, 7, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 prepared according to the above examples and commercially available Exenatide pure product (Ex-4). Within 0-24 hours after administration the animals were bled at different times, and the plasma of each sample was collected and analyzed by LC-MS/MS determination method. Pharmacokinetic parameters of the drugs were calculated by methods of model dependence (for data obtained from IV) and model independence (data obtained from SC). By IV administration route, the elimination half-life of the compounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 was approximately 4-6 hours, and peak time (T.sub.max) was about 12 hours, and the elimination half-life of Ex-4 was about 0.5 hours. By SC administration route, the peak time of the compounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 was about more than 12 hours, and the elimination half-life of Ex-4 was about 2 hours. The administration of compounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 by IV or SC route showed no clinical adverse effect.
Example 5 Effect of Compounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and Ex-4 on Oral Glucose Tolerance
(59) 12-16 week-old male C57B1/6J mice (Nanjing University model animal research center) were randomly divided into groups 8 in each group, according to similar blood glucose (assessed by the blood samples obtained from the tail tip). After fasting (for 6 hours), the animals were administrated, and about 4 hours later, initial blood samples (fasting blood glucose level) were taken. Subsequently, the animals were administrated with an oral dose of glucose, and then put back into their cages (t=0). Blood glucose was measured at t=15 minutes, t=30 minutes, t=60 minutes, t=90 minutes and t=120 minutes. And then the animals were administrated with an oral dose of glucose again, and blood glucose was tracked until 8 hours. Polypeptides 4, 5, 6, 7, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 (the dose of each compound was 250 g/kg) significantly reduced the oral glucose tolerance. The software GraphPadPrism was used to process data to make the blood glucose change line chart and calculate the area under the curve to get the AUC diagram (
(60) Compared with the carrier (PBS), the AUC of Exenatide (250 g/kg) in the first OGTT curve period (1-120 min) was significantly reduced (P<0.05), but in the next three OGTT curve periods (120-480 min), the AUC was close to that of the control group (P>0.05). Compared with the carrier (PBS), the AUC of polypeptide 4, polypeptide 5, polypeptide 6, polypeptide 7, polypeptide 19, polypeptide 20, polypeptide 21, polypeptide 22, polypeptide 23 and polypeptide 24 was significantly decreased in all four OGTT curve periods (0-480 min) (P<0.05), the experimental results suggest that polypeptide 4, polypeptide 5, polypeptide 6, polypeptide 7, polypeptide 19, polypeptide 20, polypeptide 21, polypeptide 22, polypeptide 23 and polypeptide 24 have long-lasting hypoglycemic effect.
Example 6 Effect of Compounds 5, 6, 7 on Body Weight in Obese Mice, Body Weight Reduction Research
(61) Forty 25-week-old DIO mice (Nanjing University model animal research center) were randomly divided into five groups (compound 4, 5, 6, 7, and normal saline group), 8 in each group, having no difference in the basis weight of each group. The mice group was respectively injected subcutaneously daily with compound 4 (250 g/kg), compound 5 (250 g/kg), compound 6 (250 g/kg), compound 7 (250 g/kg) and normal saline and then weighed. Compared with the normal saline group, during day 11 to day 30, the body weight in the compound 4, 5, 6, 7 groups were significantly lower than that of the normal saline group (P<0.05), having weight loss of about 20% (
