Eneboparatide (AZP-3601) is a novel, synthetic, 36-amino-acid peptide agonist of the parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTHR1), with potent selectivity for the R0 conformation. This results in prolonged calcemic responses, while having a short circulating half-life. Eneboparatide is being developed for the treatment of chronic hypoparathyroidism (cHP). Studies in hypoparathyroid animal models and, most recently, in hypoparathyroid patients, have demonstrated that eneboparati...

Medical treatment of acromegaly is based on either suppressing pituitary growth hormone (GH) secretion or by inhibiting GH action by preventing interaction with its receptor in order to suppress the elevated levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1). AZP-3813 is a 16-amino acid, bicyclic peptide antagonist of the GH receptor (GHR) with KD of 1.9 nM for the human GHR. Previously, AZP-3813 was demonstrated to suppress IGF1 secretion in juvenile rats in a dose-rela...
