METHOD FOR PREPARATION OF INSULIN COMPOUNDS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC C12P21/02 C07K14/62 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: in dissolvent, which contains from 55% to 70% of water (wt/wt), precursor of insulin or precursor of insulin derivative is exposed to fermentative splitting at alkaline values of pH. In process of fermentative splitting, they use tripsin or lysil-specific protease, preferably Achromobacter lyticus protease I. Then without separation of intermediate product from reaction mixture, mentioned intermediate product is fermentatively complemented with nucleophilic compound, which represents aminoacid ether, aminoacid amide, peptide, peptide ether or peptide amide in reaction mixture, having water content in the range from 10% to 50% of water (wt/wt), at acidic values of pH, close to neutral pH value. If required, protective group (s) is/are removed.

EFFECT: preparation of insulin compound from its precursor by efficient improved method.
