Publication number: 20240424109Abstract: An insulin conjugate comprising or consisting of a tetra-valent sugar cluster is described. The tetra-valent sugar cluster is provided by tetra-dentate linker having four arms, wherein each arm of the tetra-dentate linker is independently covalently linked to a ligand comprising or consisting of a saccharide, such as a monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide, tetrasaccharide, or branched trisaccharide.

Publication number: 20210177981Abstract: The present disclosure provides conjugates which comprise an insulin molecule conjugated via a conjugate framework to one or more separate ligands that include a first saccharide, and wherein the conjugate framework also comprises a fatty chain (e.g., a C8-30 fatty chain). In certain embodiments, a conjugate is characterized in that, when the conjugate is administered to a mammal, at least one pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PD) property of the conjugate is sensitive to serum concentration of a second saccharide. In certain embodiments, a conjugate is also characterized by having a protracted PK profile. Exemplary conjugates and sustained release formulations are provided in addition to methods of use and preparation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2018Publication date: June 17, 2021Applicants: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., SmartCells, Inc.Inventors: Lin Yan, Pei Huo, Ahmet Kekec, Yuping Zhu, Dmitri Pissarnitski, Danqing D.
