In various aspects, the present invention relates to novel compounds,
which modulate calcitonin and amylin receptor activity; to processes for
the preparation of such compounds; and to pharmaceutical compositions
including such compounds. Compounds of the invention are useful as
calcitonin and/or amylin agonists and in the treatment of bone disease
such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia, and in the
treatment of metabolic diseases, such as insulin-requiring states.
