PANCREATIC HORMONES
 The part of the pancreas with endocrine function is made
up of approximately a million cell clusters called islets of
Langerhans.
 Four main cell types exist in the islets.
 They classified by their secretion:
 α alpha cells secrete glucagon (increase glucose in
blood), β beta cells secrete insulin (decrease glucose in
blood),
 Δ delta cells secrete somatostatin (regulates/stops α and
β cells) and
 PP cells, or γ (gamma) cells, secrete pancreatic
polypeptide.
INSULIN & ITS PREPARATIONS
INSULIN
Discovered in 1921 by Banting & Best
Insulin contain 2 polypeptide chain
Insulin has 51 amino acids
A chain has 21 AA, B chain has 30AA
Both chains are connected by DISULFIDE
BONDS
Molecular weight is about 6000 Daltons
Pork insulin is much similar to human insulin
than beef insulin
Beeta CELLS OF PANCREAS
Synthesis
SINGLE CHAIN PEPTIDE PREPROINSULIN (110AA)
REMOVAL OF 24AA
To form
PRO INSULIN
Under goes
PROTEOLYSIS IN GOLGI APPARATOUS
SPLIT OFF OFCONNCETING (C) PEPTIDE (35AA)
INSULIN, C PEPTIDE STORED IN GRANULES WITH IN CELL
C PEPTIDE IS SECRETED IN BLOOD ALONG WITH INSULIN
INSULIN WITH C PEPTIDE INSULIN
REGULATION OF INSULIN SECRETION:
Normal condition – 1U insulin is secreted/
hour from our pancreas
Much larger quantity is secreted after every
meal
Secretion controlled by chemical, hormonal
& neural mechanisms
FUNCTIONS OF INSULIN:
“INSULIN FAVOURS THE STORAGE OF FUEL”
Facilitates glucose transport across cell membrane in to fat
and skeletal muscle
Glucose transporter glycoprotein (GLUT 4) present
intracellularly
This involved in the transport of glucose across the cell
membrane
Conversion of
GLUCOSE - GLUCOSE 6 PHOSPHATE is enhanced by the
production of enzyme GLUKOKINASE
Insulin facilitates GLYCOGEN SYNTHESIS from GLUCOSE in
liver, muscle, fat by the enzyme GLYCOGEN SYNTHASE
Insulin decrease GLYCOGENOLYSIS in liver
 Insulin INHIBITS GLUCONEOGENESIS from protein,
FFA, Glycerol in liver
 Insulin inhibits LIPOLYSIS in adipose tissue &
FAVOURS TRIGLYCERIDE SYNTHESIS
 Increase TRANSCRIPTION of vascular endothelial
lipoprotein lipase – increase the clearance of VLDL
& CHYLOMICRONS
 facilitate amino acid entry, protein synthesis &
inhibit the protein breakdown in muscle & other
cells
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Liver and fat contains more number of insulin receptors than others

PHARMACOKINETICS:
Distributed only extracellularly
It is a Peptide, It is digested in G.I.T, if given
orally
External /natural insulin metabolized in liver,
minor in kidney & muscle
During metabolism
Reduction in disulfide bonds
A & B chains separated & broke down in to
amino acids
INSULIN PREPARATIONS
CONVENTIONAL INSULIN
PREPARATIONS
HIGHLY PURIFIED INSULIN
HUMAN INSULIN
INSULIN ANALOUGES
CONVENTIONAL INSULIN PREPARATIONS
They are initially prepared from beef & pork
pancreas
But it contain 1% of other proteins like pro insulin,
polypeptides & pancreatic proteins etc.
These contaminations may lead to severe adverse
activities
In developing countries they have been totally
replaced by highly purified pork insulin/
recombinant human insulin/ insulin analogues
But it India, still we are using conventional
preparations because of its low cost
Eg:
REGULAR INSULIN
LENTE INSULIN
ISOPHANE INSULIN
PROTAMINE ZINC SUSPENSION
REGULAR INSULIN:
Also known as – soluble insulin
It is a buffered solution of unmodified insulin,
stabilized by small amount of zinc
The insulin molecules are self aggregated to form
hexamers around zinc ions
After s.c injections, Insulin monomers are released
gradually by dilution
Absorption occurs slowly
Peak action produced after 2-4 hours, lasts up to 6-8
hours
High dose produce long action
INSULIN –ZINC COMPLEX
LENTE INSULIN:
It is also known as Insulin zinc suspension
2 types of suspensions are there
1st type – contain LARGER PARTICLES (CRYSTALLINE)
– produce LONG ACTION
2nd type – contain SMALLER PARTICLE
(AMORPHOUS) – produce SHORTER ACTION
7:3 ratio of above preparation is called as LENTE
INSULIN
This has intermediate duration of action
ISOPHANE INSULIN:
Also called as NEUTRAL
PROTAMINE HAGEDORN (NPH)
 NPH was created in 1936
Small quantity of positively charged polypeptide -
protamin is added to the insulin
Which forms the complex with insulin molecules
On s.c. injection this complex dissociate slowly and
give intermediate duration of action
Longer duration of action than regular and lente
insulin
PROTAMIN ZINC INSULIN (PZI) :
Contain excess amount of protamin
Insulin is released more slowly from the
complex on s.c. injection
Produce prolonged duration of action
HIGHLY PURIFIED INSULIN:
 Purification techniques were introduced in 1970s
 Applied to produce highly purified & non antigenic insulin
 Pork insulin is used for this purpose
Gel filtration:
 Gel filtration reduces the pro insulin content to 50-200 ppm
 But other pancreatic peptide insulin derivative remains
 In this stage it is called as – SINGLE PEAK INSULIN
Ion exchange chromatography:
 above single peak insulin is further purified by this ion exchange
chromatography of
 this method removes most contaminants & reduce the pro insulin
to < 10ppm
 this stage the insulin called as – HIGHLY PURIFIED INSULIN/ MONO
COMPONENT INSULIN
 They are more stable
HUMAN INSULIN:
In 1980s by recombinant DNA technology the
human insulin were prepared
They have same amino acid sequence as
natural human insulin
It is produced by recombinant DNA
technology in E.Coli
Use of human insulin has rapidly overtaken
the purified animal insulins
It is more water soluble
Hydrophobic than porcine/ pork insulin
Injected through s.c. route
INSULIN ANALOUGE:
 Using recombinant DNA technology analogues of insulin
have been produced
This analogues has
 Modified pharmacokinetics action on s.c. injection
 Similar pharmacodynamic effects
 Greater stability & consistency
Eg:
INSULIN LISPRO
INSULIN ASPART
INSULIN GLARGINE
INSULIN DETEMIR
INSULIN LISPRO
It is produced by reversing proline & lysine at the
B28 & B29 carboxy terminus
It forms weak hexamers, dissociate rapidly on s.c.
injection
Peak, short duration of action
Have to be injected immediately before or even
after the meal
Better control of meal time glycemia
It can be used 2-3 times daily meal time insulin
lispro injection
Hypoglycemia is less common
INSULIN LISPRO
INSULIN ASPART:
PROLIN is present at B28 carboxy terminus of
human insulin
This prolin at B28 is replaced by aspartic acid
Which reduce the tendency of self aggregation
Duration, action profile is similar to insulin
lispro
Mimics physiological insulin release pattern
after meal
INSULIN ASPART
INSULIN GLARGINE:
Long acting, bio synthetic insulin,
Has 2 additional arginine residues at the
carboxy terminus of B chain
Glycine replaces asparagines at A21
Insulin dissociates slowly & it maintained up
to 24 hours
Once daily injection can be provided
It does not control meal time glycemia
INSULIN GLARGINE
INSULIN DETEMIR
 it is a long-acting human insulin analogue for
maintaining the basal level of insulin
 Insulin detemir differs from human insulin in that the
amino acid threonine in position B30 has been omitted,
and a C14 fatty acid chain has been attached to the
amino acid B29.
 produced by a process that includes expression of
recombinant DNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae followed
by chemical modification
 insulin detemir reduces HbA1c to target levels of 7.0%
for 70% of patients, similar to human basal insulin, NPH,
but without the same risk of hypoglycemia and with
somewhat less weight gain.
INSULIN & ITS PREPARATIONS
USES:
Diabetes mellitus
Diabetic ketoacidosis
life-threatening complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. -
Due to shortage of insulin – cell does not receive energy – liver
starts breakdowns –fat – to keton as energy source - buildup of
excess ketones – makes blood acidic.
Nonketotic hyperglycemic coma
complication of diabetes mellitus (predominantly type 2)
high blood sugars cause severe dehydration, coma and death)
