  • Patent number: 12325732
    Abstract: Provided are a novel pro-insulin aspart structure design and a method for preparing the pro-insulin aspart. The method comprises designing the pro-insulin aspart sequence, constructing a recombinant insulin aspart engineered bacteria, inducing expression of an insulin fusion protein as an inclusion body in the engineered bacteria, and extracting the insulin fusion protein from the engineered bacteria by means of denaturing, renaturing enzymatic digestion, and separation purification operations. By modifying the recombinant leading peptide and C-peptide sequences, the method avoids the need to include a cyanogen bromide cleavage step. In some embodiments, the C-peptide is replaced by a single amino acid which tends to reduce quality loss associated with enzymatic digestion.

  • Patent number: 11446360
    Abstract: A high-purity inhalable insulin material, used for preparing a pulmonary pharmaceutical product, includes insulin particles having a particle size at the micrometer level and having the following characteristics: (i) the purity of insulin is not less than 96% on the dried basis; (ii) the total amount of insulin-related impurities is not more than 2%; (iii) the total amount of solvent impurities, which is not a co-solvent formulation component for a pulmonary product, is not more than 0.03%; and (iv) the total amount of non-solvent impurities is not more than 0.3%. Up to 99% by volume of the insulin particles in the inhalable insulin have a particle size of less than 5 ?m, based on the total volume of the insulin particles. A high-efficiency method prepares high-purity inhalable insulin material. The yield rate for the high-efficiency method is 75 to 85% or more.

  • Publication number: 20210332100
    Abstract: Provided in the present invention are a novel pro-insulin aspart structure design and a method for preparing insulin aspart. The main steps comprise designing the pro-insulin aspart sequence, constructing recombinant insulin aspart engineered bacteria, inducing an insulin fusion protein expressed in the form of an inclusion body by means of the engineered bacteria, and obtaining a mature insulin aspart material drug by means of denaturing, renaturing enzymatic digestion, and separation purification, By means of changing the recombinant leading peptide and C-peptice sequences, the invention avoids the dangerous and tedious step of cleavage using cyanogen bromide. The C-peptide is shortened to one amino acid, reducing the quality loss of enzymatic digestion conversion.
