-Boronophenylmethoxycarbonyl (BPmoc) is a protecting group for amines that is removable by treatment with hydrogen peroxide (HO). We prepared BPmoc-modified insulin (BPmoc-Ins) and subcutaneously injected the formulation into diabetic rats. The results demonstrated that BPmoc effectively sealed the blood glucose (Glc)-lowering effects of Ins. Conversely, coinjection of BPmoc-Ins and Glc oxidase (GOx) resulted in reduced blood Glc levels, indicating that Ins was generated from BPmoc-Ins through the following reactions: oxidation of endogenous Glc by GOx; production of HO accompanied by Glc oxidation; removal of BPmoc residues by HO. These results show the potential of BPmoc-Ins for a Glc-responsive Ins release system.
-硼苯基甲氧基羰基(BPmoc)是一种胺类保护基团,可通过用过氧化氢(HO)处理将其除去。我们制备了BPmoc修饰的胰岛素(BPmoc-Ins),并将该制剂皮下注射到糖尿病大鼠体内。结果表明,BPmoc有效地封闭了胰岛素降低血糖(Glc)的作用。相反,同时注射BPmoc-Ins和葡萄糖氧化酶(GOx)会导致血糖水平降低,这表明通过以下反应从BPmoc-Ins生成了胰岛素:GOx将内源性葡萄糖氧化;葡萄糖氧化伴随产生HO;HO去除BPmoc残基。这些结果表明BPmoc-Ins在葡萄糖响应性胰岛素释放系统方面具有潜力。
