The use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) as a routine treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus is undermined by its short biological half-life. A cause of degradation is its cleavage at the N-terminal HAE sequence by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV). To protect from DPP IV, we have studied the biological activity of a GLP-1 analog in which 6-aminohexanoic acid (Aha) is inserted between histidine and alanine at positions 7 and 8. We have compared the biological activity of this new compound, GLP-1 Aha8, with the previously described GLP-1 8-glycine (GLP-1 Gly8) analog. GLP-1 Aha8 (10 nm) was equipotent with GLP-1 (10 nm) in stimulating insulin secretion in RIN 1046-38 cells. As with GLP-1 Gly8, the binding affinity of GLP-1 Aha8 for the GLP-1 receptor in intact Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the human GLP-1 receptor (CHO/GLP-1R cells) was reduced (IC50: GLP-1, 3.7± 0.2 nm; GLP-1 Gly8, 41 ± 9 nm; GLP-1 Aha8, 22 ± 7 nm). GLP-1 Aha8 was also shown to stimulate intracellular cAMP produ...
