Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides modified apelin polypeptides having increased stability, circulating half-life, and/or potency relative to the native apelin-13 polypeptide. Compositions comprising the modified apelin polypeptides and methods of using the polypeptides for treating cardiac disorders, such as heart failure, are also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A method for treating heart failure in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an isolated polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 16; and wherein the polypeptide is conjugated to polyethelyene glycol by 3-mercaptopropanoic acid. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein dP/dt max , and/or ejection fraction is increased in the subject following administration of the polypeptide. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein systolic or diastolic function is improved in the subject following administration of the polypeptide. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heart failure is heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. 5. A method of improving cardiac contractility in a subject having a cardiovascular condition comprising administering to the subject the polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 16; and wherein the polypeptide is conjugated to polyethylene glycol by 3-mercaptopropanoic acid; and wherein cardiac contractility is improved in the subject following administration. 6. A method of increasing ejection fraction in a subject having a cardiovascular condition comprising administering to the subject the polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide SEQ ID NO: 16, and wherein the polypeptide is conjugated to polyethelyene glycol by 3-mercaptopropanoic acid and wherein the ejection fraction is increased following administration of the polypeptide.
