Insulin lispro, sold under the brand name Humalog among others, is a modified type of medical insulin used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes. [3] It is delivered subcutaneously either by injection or from an insulin pump. [3] [4] Onset of effects typically occurs within 30 minutes and lasts about 5 hours. [3] Often a longer-acting insulin like insulin NPH is also needed. [3]

Contents

Common side effects include low blood sugar. [3] Other serious side effects may include low blood potassium. [3] Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is generally safe. [5] It works the same as human insulin by increasing the amount of glucose that tissues take in and decreasing the amount of glucose made by the liver. [3]

Insulin lispro was first approved for use in the United States in 1996. [3] [6] [7] It is a manufactured analogue of human insulin where two amino acids have swapped positions. [8] In 2021, it was the 55th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 12 million prescriptions. [9] [10]

Medical uses

Insulin lispro is used to treat people with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. [3] People doing well on short-acting insulin should not routinely be changed to insulin lispro, but may benefit from some advantages like flexibility and responsiveness. [3]

Side effects

Common side effects include skin irritation at the site of injection, hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, and lipodystrophy. [6] Other serious side effects include anaphylaxis, and hypersensitivity reactions. [6]

Mechanism of action

Through recombinant DNA technology, the final lysine and proline residues on the C-terminal end of the B-chain are reversed. This modification does not alter receptor binding, but blocks the formation of insulin dimers and hexamers. This allows larger amounts of active monomeric insulin to be immediately available for postprandial injections. [11]

Chemistry

It is a manufactured form of human insulin where the amino acids lysine and proline have been switched at the end of the B chain of the insulin molecule. [8] This switch of amino acids mimics Insulin-like growth factor 1 which also has lysine (K) and proline (P) in that order at positions 28 and 29. [12]

History

Insulin lispro (brand name Humalog) was granted marketing authorization in the European Union in April 1996, [13] and it was approved for use in the United States in June 1996. [7] [14]

Insulin lispro (brand name Liprolog) was granted marketing authorization in the European Union in May 1997, [15] and again in August 2001. [16]

Combination drugs combining insulin lispro and other forms of insulin were approved for use in the United States in December 1999. [17] [18] [19]

Insulin lispro Sanofi was granted marketing authorization as a biosimilar in the European Union in July 2017. [20]

Insulin lispro injection (brand name Admelog) was approved for use in the United States in December 2017. [21] [22] [23]

In January 2020, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) in the European Union recommended granting of a marketing authorization for insulin lispro acid (brand name Lyumjev) for the treatment of diabetes mellitus in adults. [24] [25] Insulin lispro (Lyumjev) was approved for use in the European Union in March 2020, and in the United States on 18 June 2020 as reported by Medscape. [26]

Society and culture

Economics

In the United States, the price of for a vial of Humalog increased from US$35 in 2001 to $234 in 2015, [27] or $10.06 and $29.36 per 100 units. [28] In April 2019, Eli Lilly and Company announced they would produce a version selling for $137.35 per vial. [27] The chief executive said that this was a contribution "to fix the problem of high out-of-pocket costs for Americans living with chronic conditions", but Patients for Affordable Drugs Now said it was just a public relations move, as "other countries pay $20 for a vial of insulin." [27] In March 2023, Lilly announced a program capping their insulin prices at $35 per month. [29]

Teriparatide, sold under the brand name Forteo, is a form of parathyroid hormone (PTH) consisting of the first (N-terminus) 34 amino acids, which is the bioactive portion of the hormone. It is an effective anabolic agent used in the treatment of some forms of osteoporosis. Teriparatide is a recombinant human parathyroid hormone analog. It has an identical sequence to the 34 N-terminal amino acids of the 84-amino acid human parathyroid hormone.

An insulin analog is any of several types of medical insulin that are altered forms of the hormone insulin, different from any occurring in nature, but still available to the human body for performing the same action as human insulin in terms of controlling blood glucose levels in diabetes. Through genetic engineering of the underlying DNA, the amino acid sequence of insulin can be changed to alter its ADME characteristics. Officially, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) refers to these agents as insulin receptor ligands, although they are usually just referred to as insulin analogs or even just insulin.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Insulin glulisine</span> Rapid-acting insulin analogue

Insulin glulisine is a rapid-acting modified form of medical insulin that differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position B3 is replaced by lysine and the lysine in position B29 is replaced by glutamic acid. It was developed by Sanofi-Aventis and approved for marketing by the FDA and the EMA in 2004; it is sold under the trade name Apidra. When injected subcutaneously, it appears in the blood earlier than regular human insulin (RHI). When used as a meal time insulin, the dose is to be administered within 15 minutes before or 20 minutes after starting a meal. Intravenous injections may also be used for extreme hyperglycemia, but must be performed under the supervision of a medical professional.
