VETERINARY Peptides in Veterinary Medicine

PEPTIDES IN VETERINARY MEDICINE

Bachem offers a choice of generic peptides for use as active ingredients in veterinary medicine, amongst them and gonadorelin agonists and antagonists. For a compilation of our APIs please see page 19. Our offer is comple- mented by the corresponding peptides in research quality to be found on page 21-23. Additionally, we provide non-peptide generic APIs for the vet- erinary practice as etomidate, and propofol. These products are also listed on page 19.

Introduction Peptide-based drugs are especially indicated for treating animals used in A considerable number of peptides applied food production, as they are highly active as therapeutics or diagnostics in humans is compounds which require only very small also used for various indications in veteri- doses.

Peptide vaccines Peptide-based vaccines could be a safer alternative to immunization using the inactivated virus. Peptide vaccines present a number of advantages, as they are easily available (also on large scale), relatively cheap, shelf-stable, chemically well-defi ned compounds. A number of studies evaluating synthetic peptides (immunogenic sequenc- es from viral proteins, used in combination with a suitable adjuvant for inoculation) as vaccines against viral diseases affecting livestock such as foot-and-mouth disease or swine fever have been published.

Antimicrobial peptides An alternative to the antibiotics used in ani- mals involved in food production may come from antimicrobial peptides, which have

17 Peptides in Veterinary Medicine PEPTIDES FOR VETERINARY MEDICINE Peptide-based drugs are especially indicated for treating animals used in food production, as they are highly active compounds which require only very small doses. Additionally, they are metabolized more read- ily than organic compounds, which reduces the risk of contamination of the milk, eggs, or meat of the treated animal by the unmetabolized pharmaceutical and/or its degradation products.

24 HEALTHY AND INFECTED COWS, THERMO- GRAMS

Healthy and infected cows. Thermogram (infrared) images of a cow infected with the foot-and-mouth- disease virus (left) and a healthy cow (right). The effects of the disease cause the hooves to be hotter than usual, showing up on the thermogram as a red colour at left. For the uninfected cow at right, no heat or red colour is seen in the hooves. Foot-and-mouth disease is caused by viruses in the picornavirus group. It is highly contagious, spreading by direct contact with infected animals. Infected farm animals are slaughtered and burnt to remove contamination.
