Glucose-responsive insulin represents a promising approach to regulate blood glucose levels. We previously showed that attaching two fluorophenylboronic acid (FPBA) residues to the C-terminal B chain of insulin glargine led to glucose-dependent solubility. Herein, we demonstrated that relocating FPBA from B chain to A chain increased the baseline solubility without affecting its potency. Furthermore, increasing the number of FPBA groups led to increased glucose-dependent solubility.
葡萄糖响应性胰岛素是调节血糖水平的一种有前景的方法。我们之前表明,将两个氟代苯硼酸(FPBA)残基连接到甘精胰岛素的C末端B链上会导致葡萄糖依赖性溶解度。在此,我们证明将FPBA从B链重新定位到A链可提高基线溶解度而不影响其效力。此外,增加FPBA基团的数量会导致葡萄糖依赖性溶解度增加。
