Insulin lispro

Insulin Lispro is a recombinant therapeutic agent that is chemically identical to or similar to endogenous human insulin. In lispro insulin, the amino acid proline at B-28 and the amino acid lysine at B-29 are reversed, resulting in the rapid dissolution of this insulin to a monomer that is absorbed rapidly after subcutaneous administration. Lispro insulin is equipotent to human insulin on a molar basis but its effects are faster and of shorter duration. Endogenous insulin, a pancreatic hormone composed of two polypeptide chains, is important in the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, promoting glucose utilization and protein synthesis; it has anabolic effects on many types of tissues. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Biologics, Hormones, Hypoglycemics, Insulin analogues and Peptides. Its therapeutic use is listed as antidiabetic agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a peptide source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Lyumjev and Insulin lispro-aabc. Its PubChem CID is 16132438.
