摘要: A two-chain insulin analogue contains a modified A-chain polypeptide and a modified B-chain polypeptide. The A-chain polypeptide comprises one or more of: a His or Glu substitution at position A8, a Glu substitution at position A14; and a Gln or Arg substitution at position A17. The B-chain polypeptide comprises one or more of: a deletion of the amino acids at position B1, B1-B2, B1-B3, B30 or a combination thereof; an Ala or Glu substitution at position B2; a Glu substitution at position B3. The analogue exhibits thermodynamic stability in a zinc-free solution, decreased self-association, maintains biological potency, and no increased mitogenicity. The analogue exhibits resistance to chemical degradation and physical degradation. A method of treating a patient with diabetes mellitus or obesity comprises administering a physiologically effective amount of the insulin analogue or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof to a patient.

摘要: A single-chain insulin analogues may comprise an insulin B-chain polypeptide sequence connected by a connecting polypeptide (or C-domain) sequence to an insulin A-chain polypeptide sequence. The connecting polypeptide sequence may be Glu-Xaa-Gly-Pro-Arg-Arg where Xaa is Glu or Ala. The insulin analogues may additionally comprise Glu or His substitutions at the position corresponding to A8 of human insulin and/or a Glu substitution at the position corresponding to A14 of human insulin. In some embodiments, the insulin analogues may additionally comprise either a Pro or Glu at the positions corresponding to B28 and B29 of wild-type insulin. Additional substitutions may comprise Phe or Trp at the position corresponding to A13 of wild type insulin and/or Gln, Arg, Phe, or Glu at the position corresponding to A17 of wild type insulin. In some embodiments, a Glu substitution at the position corresponding to B16 of wild type insulin may be present. In other embodiments, a Cys substitution may be present at the positions corresponding to A10 and/or B4 of wild-type insulin. In addition or in the alternative, the analogue may comprise a His or Ala substitution at the position corresponding to B22 of wild-type insulin and/or the connecting polypeptide sequence may be Glu-Glu-Gly-Pro-Ala-His. A method of treating a patient with diabetes mellitus comprises administering a physiologically effective amount of the insulin analogue or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof to a patient by means of intravenous, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous injection.

摘要: An insulin analogue comprises an insulin B-chain polypeptide containing a Trp substitution at position B26 relative to the sequence of wild-type insulin. The insulin analogue may additionally comprise an OrnB29 substitution, a C-terminal extension of one or two basic amino acids such as Arg-Arg, a GlnB13 substitution, a GlyA21 substitution, a HisA8 or ArgA8 substitution, or a combination thereof. The insulin analogue may be formulated in the presence of zinc ions at a molar ratio of 2.2-10 zinc ions per six insulin analogue monomers. The molecular design is believed to stabilize the dimer interface of insulin (and its stable formulation as a zinc insulin hexamer) by means of aromatic amino-acid substitutions at position B26 of the B chain. The insulin analogs of the present invention may have two chains (A and B) as in mammalian insulins or may be engineered with a C domain (4-12 amino acids in length) to provide a single-chain. The TrpB26-stabilized zinc insulin hexamers complement and extend other molecular strategies to achieve protracted action on subcutaneous injection.

The analogue may be an analogue of a mammalian insulin, such as human insulin. A nucleic acid encoding such an insulin analogue is also provided. A method of lowering the blood sugar of a patient comprises administering a physiologically effective amount of the insulin analogue or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof to a patient. A method of semi-synthesis using an unprotected octapeptide by means of modification of an endogenous tryptic site by non-standard amino-acid substitutions.

摘要: A single-chain insulin analogue containing (i) diverse amino-acid substitutions at position A14; (ii) wild-type or variant residues at positions A8 and A14; and (ii) an engineered C-domain segment of lengths 4-6 containing a specific set of Alanine substitutions and/or deletions derived from the prototype C-domain sequence Glu-Glu-Gly-Pro-Arg-Arg. The analogue may otherwise be an analogue of a mammalian insulin, such as human insulin, may optionally include standard or non-standard modifications that (i) augment the stability of insulin, (ii) cause a shift in the isoelectric point to enhance or impair the solubility of the protein at neutral pH or (iii) reduce cross-binding of the protein to the Type I IGF receptor. Formulations of the above analogues at successive strengths U-100 to U-1000 in soluble solutions under acidic or neutral pH values (e.g., pH 3.0-4.2 and 6.5-7.8, respectively) and optionally in the presence of zinc ions at a molar ratio of 2.2-10 zinc ions per six insulin analogue monomers. A method of treating a patient with diabetes mellitus comprising the administration of a physiologically effective amount of the protein or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof to a patient. Use of a single-chain insulin analogue of the present invention in an insulin delivery device (such as a pump or pen) is envisioned.

摘要: A single-chain insulin analogue comprises the insulin B-chain polypeptide sequence, the insulin A-chain polypeptide sequence, and a connecting polypeptide sequence of 5-11 amino acids linking the C-terminal amino acid of the B-chain polypeptide to the N-terminal amino acid of the A-chain polypeptide. The analogue comprises an acetylated Lys at a location selected from the group consisting of any of the amino acids in the connecting polypeptide, B0-B3, B28-B29 or A14, relative to wild type insulin, or comprises an acetylated amino acid at the N-terminal amino acid of the single-chain insulin analogue. The single-chain insulin analogue may be acylated with a C6-C21 fatty acid, which may be attached to the e-amino group of a unique Lysine residue or the a-amino group of the N-terminal amino acid of the single-chain insulin analogue. The insulin analogue may be used to lower the blood sugar of a patient in need thereof.

摘要: A premixed acidic solution contains two single-chain insulin analogues. One has isoelectric point between 6.5 and 8.0 (SCI-A) and the other has isoelectric point between 4.5 and 6.0 (SCI-B), such that biphasic basal and prandial insulin activity is provided on subcutaneous injection. Each protein is an analogue of a mammalian insulin, such as human insulin, with insertion of engineered C domain of length 5-11 residues; the respective C domains of SCI-A and SCI-B may be different. SCI-A contains a Glycine, Alanine, Serine or Glutamine substitution at position A21 and may contain a basic residue at position A8 and Glutamine at position B13. SCI-B may contain a non-beta-branched substitution at position A8, either Alanine or Glutamic Acid at position A14, and substitutions at positions B28 and/or B29 to confer rapid action. A method of treating a patient comprises administering the insulin analogue or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof to a patient.
