The present invention relates to insoluble compositions containing acylated proteins selected from the group consisting of acylated insulin, acylated insulin analog, and acylated proinsulin, and formulations thereof. The formulations are suitable for parenteral delivery or other means of delivery, to a patient for extended control of blood glucose levels. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions comprised of an acylated protein complexed with zinc, protamine, and a phenolic compound such that the resulting microcrystal is analogous to the neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin crystal form. Surprisingly, it has been discovered that compositions of such acylated proteins have therapeutically superior subcutaneous release pharmacokinetics, and more extended and flatter glucodynamics, than presently available commercial preparations of NPH insulin. Yet, the present crystals retain certain advantageous properties of NPH crystals, being readily able to be resuspended and also mixable with soluble insulins.
本发明涉及含有选自由酰化胰岛素、酰化胰岛素类似物和酰化原胰岛素组成的组中的酰化蛋白质的不溶性组合物及其制剂。这些制剂适用于肠道外给药或以其他方式给药,以延长对患者血糖水平的控制。更具体地说,本发明涉及一种由酰化蛋白质与锌、原胺和酚类化合物络合而成的组合物,由此产生的微晶类似于中性原胺哈格多恩(NPH)胰岛素晶型。令人惊奇的是,人们发现这种酰化蛋白质的组合物与目前市售的 NPH 胰岛素商业制剂相比,具有更优越的皮下释放药代动力学和更持久、更平稳的血糖动力学。然而,目前的晶体仍保留了 NPH 晶体的某些有利特性,易于重新悬浮,也可与可溶性胰岛素混合。
