NOVEL GLP-1 COMPOUNDS. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to novel GLP-1 compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to the use of the compounds for the treatment of diseases related to diabetes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which the ability to utilize glucose is partly or completely lost. About 5% of all people suffer from diabetes and the disorder ap­proaches epidemic proportions. Since the introduction of insulin in the 1920's, continuous efforts have been made to improve the treatment of diabetes mellitus.One peptidej expected to become very important in the treatment of diabetes is gluca-gon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Human GLP-1 is a 37 amino acid residue peptide originating from preproglucagon which is synthesized i.a. in the L-cells in the distal ileum, in the pancreas and in the brain. GLP-1 is an important gut hormone with regulatory function in glucose metabo­lism and gastrointestinal secretion and metabolism. GLP-1 stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-dependant manner, stimulates insulin biosynthesis, promotes beta cell rescue, de­creases glucagon secretion, gastric emptying and food intake. Human GLP-1 is hydrolysed to GLP-1 (7-37) and GLP-1 (7-36)-amide which are both insulinotropic peptides.. A simple sys­tem is used to describe fragments and analogues of this peplide. Thus, for example. [GIY8]GLP-1(7-37) designates an analogue of GLP-1(7-37) formally derived from GLP-1(7-37) by substituting the naturally occurring amino acid residue in position 8 (Ala) by Gly. Simi­larly, (NE34-tetradecanoyl)[Lys34]GLP-1(7-37) designates GLP-1 (7-37) wherein the e-amino group of the Lys residue in position 34 has been tetradecanoylated. PCT publications WO 98/08871 and WO 99/43706 disclose stable derivatives of GLP-1 analogues, which have a lipophilic substituent. These stable derivatives of GLP-1 analogues have a protracted profile of action compared to the corresponding GLP-1 analogues.In the last decade a number of peptides have been isolated from the venom of the Gila monster lizards (Heloderma suspectum and Heloderma horridum). Exendin-4 is a 39 amino acid residue peptide isolated from the venom of Heloderma suspectum, and this peptide shares 52% homology with GLP-1(7-37) in the overlapping region. Exendin-4 is a potent GLP-1 recep­tor agonist which has been shown to stimulate insulin release and ensuing lowering of the blood glucose level when injected into dogs. The group of exendin-4(1-39), certain fragments thereof, analogs thereof and derivatives thereof, are potent insulinotropic agents. Most importantly the group of exendin-4(1-39), insulinotropic fragments thereof, insulinotropic analogs thereof and insulinotropic derivatives thereof.Common to GLP-1 and exendins are that an extensive amount of variants have been synthesized and studied in particular in relation the plasma half-life. Low plasma half-lifes may be due to chemical stability towards peptidases (mainly dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV) and to renal clearance. However, these analogues and derivatives of insulionotropic pep-tides lack a satisfactory bioavailability when administered by the pulmonary route, i.e. when administered to the lower respira'ry tract such as through the bronchioles or alveoli.WO 00/66629 discloses modified exendin agonists which have been coupled to olyethyleneglycol via a lysine residue to decrease renal clearance.WO 03/40309 discloses peptide acting as both GLP-1 receptor agonists and gluca-gon receptor antagonists. Among the disclosed peptides are two peptides which have been coupled to polyethyleneglycol via a C-temninal cycteine residue.WO 2004/093823 discloses polyethylene glycolated GLOP-1 peptides. Pulmonary administration of GLP-1 peptides have been disclosed in WO 01/51071 and WO 00/12116.The insulinotropic peptides derived from GLP-1 and Exendin-4 stimulatesd insulin release only when plasma glucose levels are high, the risk of hypoglycaemic events is re­duced. Thus, the peptides are particularly useful for patients with diabetes who no longer re­spond to OHA's (oral hyperglycaemic agents) and who should from a strict medical point of view be administered insulin. Patients and to some extent also doctors are often not keen on initiating insulin treatment before this is absolutely necessary, presumably because of the fear of hypoglycaemic events or the fear of injections/needles. Thus, there is a need for insu­linotropic peptides which are sufficiently potent and which can be administered by the pul­monary route.Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide insulinotropic peptides which have sufficient pulmonary bioavailability to serve as an alternative to peptides for paranteral ad­ministration. Insulinotropic peptides having pulmonary bioavailability is a balance between potency and bioavailability. It is also an object of the present invention to provide insulino­tropic peptides which are less prone to aggregation, a well known problem associated with the glucagon-like peptides. Being less prone to aggregation facilitates economical manufac­turing processes as well as enabling the compounds to be administered by medical infusion pumps. DEFINITIONS •In the present specification", the following terms have the indicated meaning : The term "polypeptide" and "peptide" as used herein means a compound composed of at least five constituent amino acids connected by peptide bonds. The constituent amino acids may be from the group of the amino acids encoded by the genetic code and they may natural amino acids which are not encoded by the genetic code, as well as synthetic amino acids. Natural amino acids which are not encoded by the genetic code are e.g. hy-droxyproline, y-carboxyglutamate, omithine, phosphoserine, D-alanine and D-glutamine.Synthetic amino acids comprise amino acids manufactured by chemical synthesis, i.e. D-isomers of the amino acids encoded by the genetic code such as D-alanine and D-leucine, Aib (o-aminoisobutyric acid), Abu (α -aminobutyric acid), Tle (tert-butylglycine), -βalanine, 3-aminomethyl benzoic acid, anthranilic acid.The term "analogue" as used herein referring to a polypeptide means a modified peptide wherein one or more amino acid residues of the peptide have been substituted by other amino acid residues and/or wherein one or more amino acid residues have been de­leted from the peptide and/or wherein one or more amino acid residues have been deleted from the peptide and or wherein one or more amino acid residues have been added to the peptide. Such addition or deletion of amino acid residues can take place at the N-terminal of the peptide and/or at the C-terminal of the peptide. A simple system is often used to describe analogues : For example [Arg34lGLP-l(7-37)Lys designates a GLP-1(7-37) analogue wherein the naturally occuring lysine at position 34 has been substituted with arginine and wherein a lysine has been added to the terminal amino acid residue, i.e. to the Gly37. All amino acids for which the optical isomer is not stated is to be understood to mean the L-isomer. The term "derivative" as used herein in relation to a peptide means a chemically modified peptide or an analogue thereof, wherein at least one substituent is not present in the unmodi-fied peptide or an analogue thereof, i.e. a peptide which has been covalently modified. Typi­cal modifications are amides, carbohydrates, alkyl groups, acyl groups, esters and the tike. An example of a derivative of GLP-1 (7-37) is Ne26-((4S)-4-(hexadecanoylamino)-butanoyOfArg34, Lys26]GLP-l-(7-37).The term "insulinotropic agent" as used herein means a compound which is an ago­nist of the human GLP-1 receptor, i.e. a compound which stimulates the formation of cAMP in a suitable medium containing the human GLP-1 receptor (one such medium disclosed be­low). The potency of an insulinotropic agent is determined by calculating the EC50 value from the dose-response curve as described below.Baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells expressing the cloned human GLP-1 receptor (BHK- 467-12A) were grown in DMEM media with the addition of 100 IU/mL penicillin, 100 ug/mL streptomycin, 5% fetal calf serum and 0.5 mg/mL Geneticin G-418 (Life Technolo­gies). The cells were washed twice in phosphate buffered saline and harvested with Versene. Plasma membranes were prepared from the cells by homogenisation with an Ultra-turrax in buffer 1 (20 mM HEPES-Na, 10 mM EDTA, pH 7.4). The homogenate was centri-fuged at 48,000 x g for 15 min at 40C. The pellet was suspended by homogenization in buffer 2 (20 mM HEPES-Na, 0.1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4), then centrifuged at 48,000 x g for 15 min at 4°C. The washing procedure was repeated one more time. The final pellet was suspended in buffer 2 and used immediately for assays or stored at -80°C.The functional receptor assay was carried out by measuring cyclic AMP (cAMP) as a response to stimulation by the insulinotropic agent. cAMP formed was quantified by the Al-phaScreen™ cAMP Kit (Perkin Elmer Life Sciences). Incubations were carried out in half-area 96-well microtiter plates in a total volume of 50 μL buffer 3 (50 mM Tris-HCI, 5 mM HEPES. 10 mM MgCI2, pH 7.4) and with the following addiditions: 1 mM ATP, 1 μM GTP, 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methy!xanthine (IBMX), 0.01 % Tween-20, 0.1% BSA, 6 μg membrane preparation, 15 ug/mL acceptor beads, 20μg/mL donor beads preincubated with 6 nM bioti-nyl-cAMP. Compounds to be tested for agonist activity were dissolved and diluted in buffer 3. GTP was freshly prepared for each experiment. The plate was incubated in the dark with slow agitation for three hours at room temperature followed by counting in the Fusion™ in­strument (Perkin Elmer Life Sciences). Concentration-response curves were plotted for the individual compounds and EC50 values estimated using a four-parameter logistic model withPrism v. 4.0 (GraphPad, Carlsbad, CA).The term "GLP-1 peptide" as used herein means GLP-1 (7-37) (SEQ ID No 1), aGLP-1 (7-37) analogue, a GLP-1 (7-37) derivative or a derivative of a GLP-1 (7-37) analogue. In one embodiment the GLP-1 peptide is an insulinotropic agent.The term "exendin-4 peptide" as used herein means exendin-4(1-39) (SEQ ID No 2). an exendin-4(1-39) analogue, an exendin-4 (1-39) derivative or a derivative of an exendin-4(1-39) analogue. In one embodiment the exendin-4 peptide is an insulinotropic agent.The term "DPP-IV protected" as used herein referring to a polypeptide means a poly-peptide which has been chemically modified in order to render said compound resistant to the plasma peptidase dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-4 (DPP-IV). The DPP-IV enzyme in plasma is known to be involved in the degradation of several peptide hormones, e.g. GLP-1, GLP-2, Ex­endin-4 etc. Thus, a considerable effort is being made to develop analogues and derivatives of the polypeptides susceptible to DPP-IV mediated hydrolysis in order to reduce the rate of deg­radation by DPP-IV. In one embodiment a DPP-IV protected peptide is more resistant to DPP-IV than GLP-1 (7-37) or Exendin-4(1-39).Resistance of a peptide to degradation by dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV is determined by the following degradation assay :Aliquots of the peptide (5 nmol) are incubated at 37 °C with 1 μL of purified dipeptidyl amin­opeptidase IV corresponding to an enzymatic activity of 5 mU for 10-180 minutes in 100 μL of 0.1 M triethylamine-HCI buffer, pH 7.4. Enzymatic reactions are terminated by the addition of 5 μL of 10% trifluoroacetic acid, and the peptide degradation products are separated and quantified using HPLC analysis. One method for performing this analysis is : The mixtures are applied onto a Vydac C18 widepore (30 nm pores. 5 μm particles) 250 x 4.6 mm column and eluted at a flow rate of 1 ml/min with linear stepwise gradients of acetonitrile in 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (0% acetonitrile for 3 min, 0-24% acetonitrile for 17 min, 24-48% acetoni­trile for 1 min) according to Siegel et a!., Regul. Pept. 1999:79:93-102 and Mentlein et al. Eur. J. Biochern. 1993:214:829-35. Peptides and their degradation products may be moni­tored by their absorbance at 220 nm (peptide bonds) or 280 nrn (aromatic amino acids), and are quantified by integration of their peak areas related to those of standards. The rate of hy­drolysis of a peptide by dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV is estimated at incubation times which result in less than 10% of the peptide being hydrolysed.The term "mPEGyl" means a polydisperse or monodisperse radical of the structurewherein m is an integer larger than 1 . Thus, a mPEGyl wherein m is 90 has a molecular weight of 3991 Da, i.e. approx 4kDa. Likewise, a mPEGyl with an average molecular weigt of 20 kDa has an average m of 454. Due to the process for producing mPEGyl these molecues often have a distribution of molecular weights. This distribution is described by the polydis-persity index.The term "polydispersity index" as used herein means the ratio between the weight average molecular weight and the number average molecular weight, as known in the art of polymer chemistry (see e.g. "Polymer Synthesis and Characterization", J.a: Nairn, diversity of Utah. 2003). The polydispersity index is a number which is greater than or qual to one, and it may be estimated from Gel Permeation Chromatographic data. When the polydisper­sity index is one the product is monodisperse. and is thus made up of a single moleculer weight. When the polydispersity index is greater than one it is a measure of the polydisper­sity of that polymer, i.e. how broad the distribution of polymers with different molecular weights is.The term "C^-alkyl" as used herein means a saturated, branched, straight or cyclic hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Representative examples include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, terf-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, tert-pentyl, n-hexyl, isohexyl, cyclohexane and the like. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" as used herein means suited for normal pharmaceu­tical applications, i.e. giving rise to no adverse events in patients etc.The term "heavy atom" as used herein means an atom having a molar weight equal to or larger than carbon, e.g. C, N, O and S.The term "excipient" as used herein means the chemical compounds which are normally added to pharmaceutical compositions, e.g. buffers, tonicity agents, preservatives and the like.The term "effective amount" as used herein means a dosage which is sufficient to be effec­tive for the treatment of the patient compared with no treatment.The term "pharmaceutical composition" as used herein means a product comprising an ac­tive compound or a salt thereof together with pharmaceutical excipients such as buffer, pre­servative, and optionally a tonicity modifier and/or a stabilizer. Thus a pharmaceutical com­position is also known in the art as a pharmaceutical formulation.The term "treatment of a disease" as used herein means the management and care of a pa­tient having developed the disease, condition or disorder. The purpose of treatment is to combat the disease, condition or disorder. Treatment includes the administration of the active compounds to eliminate or control the disease, condition er disorder as well as to alleviate the symptoms or complications associated with the disease, condition or disorder.

These methods are preferred when the insulinotropic agent is a peptide comprising non-natural amino acid residues. When the insulinotropic agent is a polypeptide comprising only amino acid residues encoded by the genetic code, the polypeptides can also be produced by a method which com­prises culturing a host cell containing a DNA sequence encoding the polypeptide and capable of expressing the polypeptide in a suitable nutrient medium under conditions permitting the ex­pression of the peptide, after which the resulting peptide is recovered from the culture and then derivatized to the cpmpound of formula (I). The medium used to culture the cells may be any conventional medium suitable for growing the host cells, such as minimal or complex media containing appropriate supplements. Suitable media are available from commercial suppliers or may be prepared according to pub­lished recipes (e.g. in catalogues of the American Type Culture Collection). The peptide pro­duced by the cells may then be recovered from the culture medium by conventional procedures including separating the host cells from the medium by centrifugation or filtration. For extracellu­lar products the proteinaceous components of the supernatant are isolated by filtration, column chromatography or precipitation, e.g. microfiltation, ultrafiltration, isoelectric precipitation, purifi­cation by a variety of chromatographic procedures, e.g. ion exchange chromatography. hydro-phobic interaction chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, affinity chromatography, or the like, dependent on the type of pofypeptide in question. For intracellular or periplasmic prod­ucts the cells isolated from the culture medium are disintegrated or permeabilised and extracted to recover the product polypeptide or precursor thereof.The DNA sequence encoding the therapeutic polypeptide may suitably be of genomic or cDNA origin, for instance obtained by preparing a genomic or cDNA library and screening for DNA sequences coding for all or part of the peptide by hybridisation using synthetic oligonucleo-tide probes in accordance with standard techniques (see, for example, Sambrook, J, Fritsch, EFand Maniatis. T. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. New York, 1989). The DNA sequence encoding the polypeptide may also be prepared synthetically by established standard methods, e.g. the phosphoamidite method described by Beaucage and Caruthers. Tetrahedron Letters 22 (1981). 1859 -1869. or the method described by Matthes et al., EMBO Journal 3 (1984). 801 - 805. The DNA sequence may also be prepared by polymerase chain reaction using specific primers, for instance as described in US 4,683,202 or Saiki et al.. Science 239 (1988), 487 - 491. The DNA sequence may be inserted into any vector which may conveniently be sub­jected to recombinant DNA procedures, and the choice of vector will often depend on the host cell into which it is to be introduced. Thus, the vector may be an autonomously replicating vec­tor, i.e. a vector which exists as an extrachromosomal entity, the replication of which is inde­pendent of chromosomal replication, e.g. a plasmid. Alternatively, the vector may be one which, when introduced into a host cell, is integrated into the host cell genome and replicated together with the chromosome(s) into which it has been integrated. The vector is preferably an expression vector in which the DNA sequence encoding the polypeptide is operably linked to additional segments required for transcription of the DNA, such as a promoter. The promoter may be any DNA sequence which shows transcriptional ac­tivity in the host cell of choice and may be derived from genes encoding proteins either homolo­gous or heterologous to the host cell. Examples of suitable promoters for directing the transcrip­tion of the DNA encoding the peptide of the invention in a variety of host cells are well known in the art, cf. for instance Sambrook era/., supra.The DNA sequence encoding the polypeptide may also, if necessary, be operably connected to a suitable terminator, polyadenylation signals, transcriptional enhancer se­quences, and translational enhancer sequences. The recombinant vector of the invention may further comprise a DNA sequence enabling the vector to replicate in the host celLin question. The vector may also comprise a selectable marker, e.g. a gene the product of which complements a defect in the host cell or one which confers resistance to a drug, e.g. ampicillin, kanamycin, tetracyclin, chloramphenicol, neomycin. hygromycin or methotrexate. For large scale manufacture the selectable marker preferably is not antibiotic resistance, e.g. antibiotic resistance genes in the vector are preferably excised when the vector is used for large scale manufacture. Methods for eliminating antibiotic resistance genes from vectors are known in the art, see e.g. US 6,358.705 which is incorporated herein by reference.To direct a parent peptide of the present invention into the secretory pathway of the host cells, a secretory signal sequence (also known as a leader sequence, prepro sequence or pre sequence) may be provided in the recombinant vector. The secretory signal sequence isjoined to the DNA sequence encoding the peptide in the correct reading frame.

Each one of these specific chelating agents constitutes an alternative embodiment of the invention. The use of a chelating agent in pharmaceutical compositions is well-known to the skilled person. For convenience reference is made to Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 19th edition. 1995. In a further embodiment of the invention the formulation further comprises a stabi­liser. The use of a stabilizer in pharmaceutical compositions is well-known to the skilled per­son. For convenience reference is made to Remington: The Science and Practice of Phar­macy, 19th edition, 1995. More particularly, compositions of the invention are stabilized liquid pharmaceutical compositions whose therapeuticaliy active components include a polypeptide that possibly exhibits aggregate formation during storage in liquid pharmaceutical formulations. By "aggre­gate formation" is intended a physical interaction between the polypeptide molecules that re­sults in formation of oligomers, which may remain soluble, or large visible aggregates that precipitate from the solution. By "during storage" is intended a liquid pharmaceutical compo­sition or formulation once prepared, is not immediately administered to a subject. Rather, fol­lowing preparation, \\ is packaged for storage, either in a liquid form, in a frozen state, or in a dried form for later reconstitution into a liquid form or other form suitable for administration to a subject. By "dried form" is intended the liquid pharmaceutical composition or formulation is dried either by freeze drying (i.e., lyophilization; see, for example, Williams and Polli (1984) J. Parenteral Sci. Technol. 38:48-59), spray drying (see Masters (1991) in Spray-Drying Hand­book (5th ed; Longman Scientific and Technical, Essez, U.K.), pp. 491-676; Broadhead et al. (1992) Drug DeveJ. Ind. Pharm. 18:1169-1206; and Mumenthaler et al. (1994) Pharm. Res. 11:12-20), or air drying (Carpenter and Crowe (1988) Cryobiology 25:459-470;and Roser (1991) Biopharm. 4:47-53). Aggregate formation by a polypeptide during storage of a liquid pharmaceutical composition can adversely affect biological activity of that polypeptide, result­ing in loss of therapeutic efficacy of the pharmaceutical composition. Furthermore, aggregate formation may cause other problems such as blockage of tubing, membranes, or pumps when the polypeptide-containing pharmaceutical composition is administered using an infu­sion system.The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may further comprise an amount of an amino acid base sufficient to decrease aggregate formation by the polypeptide during storage of the composition. By "amino acid base" is intended an amino acid or a combination of amino acids, where any given amino acid is present either in its free base form or in its saltform. Where a combination of amino acids is used, all of the amino acids may be present in their free base forms, all may be present in their salt forms, or some may be present in their free base forms while others are present in their salt forms. In one embodiment, amino acids to use in preparing the compositions of the invention are those carrying a charged side chain, such as arginine, lysine. aspartic acid, and glutamic acid. Any stereoisomer (i.e., L, D. or DL isomer) of a particular amino acid (e.g. glycine, methionine. histidine, imidazole, arginine. ly­sine, isoleucine, aspartic acid, tryptophan, threonine and mixtures thereof) or combinations of these stereoisomers, may be present in the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention so long as the particular amino acid is present either in its free base form or its salt form. In one embodiment the L-stereoisomer is used. Compositions of the invention may also be formu­lated with analogues of these amino acids. By "amino acid analogue" is intended a derivative of the naturally occurring amino acid that brings about the desired effect of decreasing ag­gregate formation by the polypeptide during storage of the liquid pharmaceutical composi­tions of the invention. Suitable arginine analogues include, for example, aminoguanidine, or-nithine and N-monoethyl L-arginine, suitable methionine analogues include S-ethyl homocys-teine and S-butyl homocysteine and suitable cystein analogues include S-methyl-L cystein. As with the other amino acids, the amino acid analogues are incorporated into the composi­tions in either their free base form or their salt form. In a further embodiment of the invention the amino acids or amino acid analogues are used in a concentration, which is sufficient to prevent or delay aggregation of the protein.In a further embodiment of the invention methionine (or other sulphur containing amino acids or amino acid analogous) may be added to inhibit oxidation of methionine resi­dues to methionine sulfoxide when the polypeptide acting as the therapeutic agent is a poly­peptide comprising at least one methionine residue susceptible to such oxidation. By "inhibit" is intended minimal accumulation of methionine oxidized species over time. Inhibiting me­thionine oxidation results in greater retention of the polypeptide in its proper molecular form. Any stereoisomer of methionine (L, D, or DL isomer) or combinations thereof can be used. The amount to be added should be an amount sufficient to inhibit oxidation of the methionine residues such that the amount of methionine sulfoxide is acceptable to regulatory agencies. Typically, this means that the composition contains no more than about 10% to about 30% methionine sulfoxide. Generally, this can be achieved by adding methionine such that the ratio of methionine added to methionine residues ranges from about 1:1 to about 1000:1, such as 10:1 to about 100:1.In a further embodiment of the invention the formulation further comprises a stabiliser selected from the group of high molecular weight polymers or low molecularcompounds. In a further embodiment of the invention the stabilizer is selected from polyethylene glycol (e.g. PEG 3350). polyvinylalcohol (PVA). polyvinylpyrrolidone, carboxy-/hydroxycellulose or derivates thereof (e.g. HPC, HPC-SL. HPC-L and HPMC), cyclodextrins, sulphur-containing substances as monothioglycerol, thioglycolic acid and 2-methylthioethanol. and different salts (e.g. sodium chloride). Each one of these specific stabilizers constitutes an alternative embodiment of the invention. The pharmaceutical compositions may also comprise additional stabilizing agents, which further enhance stability of a therapeutically active polypeptide therein. Stabilizing agents of particular interest to the present invention include, but are not limited to, methionine and EDTA, which protect the polypeptide against methionine oxidation, and a nonionic surfactant, which protects the polypeptide against aggregation associated with freeze-thawing or mechanical shearing. In a further embodiment of the invention the formulation further comprises a surfactant.

Administration of pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may be through several routes of administration, for example, lingual, sublingual, buccal, in the mouth, oral, in the stomach and intestine, nasal, pulmonary, for example, through the bron­chioles and alveoli or a combination thereof, epidermal, dermal, transdermal, vaginal, rectal, ocular, for examples through the conjunctiva, uretal, and parenteral to patients in need of such a treatment. In one aspect the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition com­prising a compound according to Formula (I), and a pharmaceuticaliy acceptable excipient. In one embodiment the pharmaceutical composition is suited for pulmonary admini­stration. In another aspect the present invention relates to the use of a compound of formula (I) for the preparation of a pulmonary medicament. Compositions of the current invention may be administered in several dosage forms, for example, as solutions, suspensions, emulsions, microemulsions, multiple emulsion, foams, salves, pastes, plasters, ointments, tablets, coated tablets, rinses, capsules, for ex­ample, hard gelatine capsules and soft gelatine capsules, suppositories, rectal capsules, drops, gels, sprays, powder, aerosols, inhalants, eye drops, ophthalmic ointments, ophthal­mic rinses, vaginal pessaries, vaginal rings, vaginal ointments, injection solution, in situ transforming solutions, for example in situ gelling, in situ setting, in situ precipitating, in situ crystallization, infusion solution, and implants.

General reference is made to Handbook of Pharmaceutical Controlled Release (Wise, D.L., ed. Mar­cel Dekker, New York, 2000) and Drug and the Pharmaceutical Sciences vol. 99: Protein Formulation and Delivery (MacNally. E.J.. ed. Marcel Dekker, New York, 2000). Parenteral administration may be performed by subcutaneous, intramuscular, in-traperitoneal or intravenous injection by means of a syringe, optionally a pen-like syringe. Alternatively, parenteral administration can be performed by means of an infusion pump. A further option is a composition which may be a solution or suspension for the administration of the compound according to the present invention in the form of a nasal or pulmonai spray. As a still further option, the pharmaceutical compositions containing the compound of the in­vention can also be adapted to transdermal administration, e.g. by needle-free injection or from a patch, optionally an iontophoretic patch, or transmucosal, e.g. buccal, administration. The term "stabilized formulation" refers to a formulation with increased physical stability, increased chemical stability or increased physical and chemical stability. The term "physical stability" of the protein formulation as used herein refers to the tendency of the protein to form biologically inactive and/or insoluble aggregates of the protein as a result of exposure of the protein to thermo-mechanical stresses and/or interac­tion with interfaces and surfaces that are destabilizing, such as hydrophobia surfaces and interfaces. Physical stability of the aqueous protein formulations is evaluated by means of visual inspection and/or turbidity measurements after exposing the formulation filled in suit­able containers (e.g. cartridges or vials) to mechanical/physical stress (e.g. agitation) at dif­ferent temperatures for various time periods. Visual inspection of the formulations is per­formed in a sharp focused light with a dark background. The turbidity of the formulation is characterized by a visual score ranking the degree of turbidity for instance on a scale from 0 to 3 (a formulation showing no turbidity corresponds to a visual score 0, and a formulation showing visual turbidity in daylight corresponds to visual score 3). A formulation is classified physical unstable with respect to protein aggregation, when it shows visual turbidity in day­light. Alternatively, the turbidity of the formulation can be evaluated by simple turbidity meas­urements well-known to the skilled person. Physical stability of the aqueous protein formula­tions can also be evaluated by using a spectroscopic agent or probe of the conformational status of the protein. The probe is preferably a small molecule that preferentially binds to a non-native conforrqer of the protein. One example of a small molecular spectroscopic probe of protein structure is Thioflavin T. Thioflavin T is a fluorescent dye that has been widely used for the detection of amyloid fibrils. In the presence of fibrils, and perhaps other protein configurations as well, Thioflavin T gives rise to a new excitation maximum at about 450 nm and enhanced emission at about 482 nm when bound to a fibril protein form. Unbound Thioflavin T is essentially non-fluorescent at the wavelengths. Other small molecules can be used as probes of the changes in protein structure from native to non-native states. For instance the "hydrophobic patch" probes-that bind pref­erentially to exposed hydrophobic patches of a protein. The hydrophobic patches are gener­ally buried within the tertiary structure of a protein in its native state, but become exposed as a protein begins to unfold or denature. Examples of these small molecular, spectroscopic probes are aromatic, hydrophobic dyes, such as antrhacene, acridine, phenanthroline or the like. Other spectroscopic probes are metal-ammo acid complexes, such as cobalt metal complexes of hydrophobic amino acids, such as phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, methion-ine, and valine, or the like.The term "chemical stability" of the protein formulation as used herein refers to chemical covalent changes in the protein structure leading to formation of chemical degrada- \ lion products with potential less biological potency and/or potential increased immunogenic properties compared to the native protein structure. Various chemical degradation products can be formed depending on the type and nature of the native protein and the environment to which the protein is exposed. Elimination of chemical degradation can most probably not be completely avoided and increasing amounts of chemical degradation products is often seen during storage and use of the protein formulation as well-known by the person skilled in the art. Most proteins are prone to deamidatJon, a process in which the side chain amide group in glutaminyl or asparaginyl residues is hydrolysed to form a free carboxylic acid. Other de­gradations pathways involves formation of high molecular weight transformation products where two or more protein molecules are covalently bound to each other through transami-dation and/or disulfide interactions leading to formation of covalently bound dimer, oligomer and polymer degradation products (Stability of Protein Pharmaceuticals, Ahem. T.J. & Man­ning M.C., Plenum Press, New York 1992). Oxidation (of for instance methionine residues) can be mentioned as another variant of chemical degradation. The chemical stability of the protein formulation can be evaluated by measuring the amount of the chemical degradation products at various time-points after exposure to different environmental conditions (the for­mation of degradation products can often be accelerated by for instance increasing tempera­ture). The amount of each individual degradation product is often determined by separation of the degradation products depending on molecule size and/or charge using various chro-matography techniques (e.g. SEC-HPLC and/or RP-HPLC). Hence, as outlined above, a "stabilized formulation" refers to a formulation with in­creased physical stability, increased chemical stability or increased physical and chemical stability. In general, a formulation must be stable during use and storage (in compliance with recommended use and storage conditions) until the expiration date is reached. In one embodiment of the invention the pharmaceutical formulation comprising the compound according to the present invention is stable for more than 6 weeks of usage and for more than 3 years of storage. In another-embodiment of the invention the pharmaceutical formulation comprising the compound according to the present invention is stable for more than 4 weeks of usage and for more than 3 years of storage. In a further embodiment of the invention the pharmaceutical formulation comprising the compound according to the present invention is stable for more than 4 weeks of usage and for more than two years of storage.In an even further embodiment of the invention the pharmaceutical formulation com­prising the compound is stable for more than 2 weeks of usage and for more than two years of storage.In another aspect the present invention relates to the use of a compound according to the invention for the preparation of a medicament. In one embodiment a compound according to the invention is used for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, type 1 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, syndrome X, dysiipidemia, cognitive disorders, atheroschlerosis, myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease and other cardiovas­cular disorders, stroke, inflammatory bowel syndrome, dyspepsia and gastric ulcers.
