Insulin: evolution of insulin formulations and their application in clinical practice over 100 years

Abstract: The first preparation of insulin extracted from a pancreas and made suitable for use in humans after purification was achieved 100 years ago in Toronto, an epoch-making achievement, which has ultimately provided a life-giving treatment for millions of people worldwide. The earliest animal-derived formulations were short-acting and contained many impurities that caused adverse reactions, thereby limiting their therapeutic potential. However, since then, insulin production and purification improved with enhanced… Show more

“…Infusion pumps and insulin pens have allowed more efficient drug administration. Blood glucose monitoring with capillary glucose tests, continuous glucose monitoring and widespread availability of HbA1C test have allowed more precise glycemic control and attenuated the risks of diabetic complications [9].…”

“…Insulin therapy has been a cornerstone in the medical management of type 1 DM. It is also used in the treatment of type 2 DM being necessitated by beta cell exhaustion [9]. This review will attempt to feebly summarize the advances we have made over the years in understanding insulin pertaining to its structure, effects on the various tissues and the development of analogues.…”

“…Indeed, copper and zinc ions have an important role in diabetic retinopathy and the interplay between these metal ions and insulin deserves attention (Dascalu et al, 2022; Miao et al, 2013). Although it is well known that zinc ions stabilize the formation of insulin hexamers, the search for optimal stable insulin formulations that can provide the most biologically active form of the hormone upon injection is still ongoing (Bolli et al, 2022).…”
