GLUCOSE-RESPONSIVE INSULIN CONJUGATES

摘要

Insulin conjugates comprising an insulin molecule covalently attached to at least one bi-dentate linker having two arms, each arm independently attached to a ligand comprising a saccharide and wherein the saccharide for at least one ligand of the linker is fucose are disclosed. The insulin conjugates display a pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PD) profile that is responsive to the systemic concentrations of a saccharide such as glucose or alpha-methylmannose even when administered to a subject in need thereof in the absence of an exogenous multivalent saccharide-binding molecule such as Con A.

主权项

1: A conjugate comprising:
an insulin or insulin analog molecule covalently attached to at least one branched linker having a first arm and second arm, wherein the first arm is linked to a first ligand that includes a first saccharide and the second arm is linked to a second ligand that includes a second saccharide and wherein the first saccharide is fucose.
