BACKGROUND: Obesity is an emergent epidemic associated with morbidity, mortality, and psychosocial effects. One of the key gut hormones that controls appetite is peptide tyrosine-tyrosine 3-36 (PYY3-36) whose circulating half-life is only 8 min. A long-acting analogue of PYY3-36 would therefore have great potential as an antiobesity agent. The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of various aminoacid modifications of PYY3-36 on pharmacokinetics and their ability to suppress food intake.METHODS: To investigate the pharmacokinetics of PYY3-36 and three modified analogues, serial sampling of plasma peptide levels via cannulation of the jugular vein was performed after subcutaneous injection of the peptide in rats (n=4 per peptide, 80 nmol/kg). To investigate the effect of these peptides on food intake, mice were injected subcutaneously (1000 nmol/kg) and food intake was assessed at timed intervals over 24 h (n=8 per peptide).FINDINGS: One-way ANOVA with post-hoc Dunnett's test was used in which each comparison was with the PYY3-36 or saline group. Plasma concentrations of the modified analogue, PYY-AP3H, were significantly higher than PYY3-36 up to 24 h post injection (p=0·0008 at 4 h, p=0·0028 at 24 h). The results confirm that modification of the native peptide, by addition of an alpha-helix stabilising sequence and histidine residues, lengthens the pharmacokinetic profile. Furthermore, PYY-AP3H significantly reduced food intake for up to 24 h compared with saline (p
