APOLIPOPROTEIN A-1 MIMIC PEPTIDES, AND THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR TREATING HYPERLIPIDEMIA AND DISEASES RELATED TO HYPERLIPIDEMIA COMPRISING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to apolipoprotein A-1 mimic peptides, and therapeutic agent for treating hyperlipidemia and diseases related to hyperlipidemia comprising the same. More specifically, the apolipoprotein A-1 mimic peptides of the present invention were manufactured by modifying hydrophilic or hydrophobic face of existing 4F amphipathic peptides to produce Apo A-I mimic peptides which specifically bind with cholesterol ester to allow high density lipoprotein content to increase, and the peptide of which phenylalanine in hydrophobic face of 4F is substituted with 2-naphthylalanine has superior cholesterol efflux capability and cognitive function for lipids to the existing 4F peptides, among the mimic peptides. Thus, the Apo A-I mimic peptides of the present invention can be used as Apo A-I mimic peptides and as a therapeutic agent for treating hyperlipidemia and diseases related to hyperlipidemia.
