项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Optimal control of Type I diabetes mellitus (DM) often requires a combination of rapid- acting and long-acting insulin analogs to achieve tight glycemic control. Current rapid- acting analogs, a pioneering triumph of biotechnology 15 years ago, are nonetheless too delayed in absorption for either ideal meal-time glycemic control or the safe and effective use of automated insulin pumps. We therefore seek to develop a second-generation rapid-acting insulin analog with substantially improved properties in order to provide additional benefits to patients. To this end, we first propose to optimize and apply a novel total chemical synthesis of insulin that provides for highly efficient folding/formation of disulfides. Facile chemical synthesis of insulin will enable the incorporation of a wide range of non-coded amino acids in order to systematically tune the properties of the insulin molecule. We will prepare a series of designed chemical analogs of insulin for biophysical characterization, receptor binding assays, and biological testing in animal models of DM. Our design goals for a second-generation insulin analog include: (i) faster onset of action; (ii) briefer duration of action; (iii) enhanced physical stability; (iv) enhanced chemical stability; and (v) enhanced receptor selectivity. Our proposed research promises to expand the chemical space of insulin therapeutics to exploit for the first time the armamentarium of modern medicinal chemistry.

描述（由申请人提供）：对I型糖尿病（DM）的最佳控制通常需要快速作用和长效胰岛素类似物的结合，以实现紧密的血糖控制。目前的快速作用类似物是15年前生物技术的开创性胜利，尽管如此，对于理想的餐食血糖控制或安全有效地使用自动化胰岛素泵，但仍太延迟了吸收。因此，我们试图开发第二代快速作用胰岛素类似物，具有大大改善的特性，以便为患者提供额外的好处。为此，我们首先建议优化和应用新型的胰岛素总化学合成，从而提供高效的二硫化物折叠/形成。胰岛素的便捷化学合成将使融合多种非编码氨基酸，以系统地调整胰岛素分子的特性。我们将在DM动物模型中准备一系列设计的胰岛素化学类似物，以进行生物物理表征，受体结合测定和生物学测试。我们的第二代胰岛素类似物的设计目标包括：（i）动作速度更快；（ii）英国的行动时间；（iii）增强的身体稳定性；（iv）增强的化学稳定性；（v）增强的受体选择性。我们提出的研究有望扩大胰岛素治疗剂的化学空间，以首次利用现代药物化学的武术。公共卫生相关性：“我们的目标是开发第二代快速作用胰岛素类似物具有大大改善的特性，以便为患者提供其他好处。我们将准备一系列设计的胰岛素化学类似物，以进行生物物理特征，受体结合测定法，以及在糖尿病模型中的生物学测试，以扩展我们的糖尿病。现代药物的武术。”
