Abstract

Synthesized succinyl and glutaryl glucosamines, p-(succinylamido)-phenyl-α-D-gluco- and mannopyranosides, p-(glutarylamido)-phenyl-α-D-gluco- and mannopyranosides and p-(isothiocyanotophenyl)-α-D-gluco- and mannopyranosides are reacted with insulin to form corresponding glycosylated insulins containing from 1 to 3 glycosyl groups per insulin molecule. The novel glycosylated insulins resist aggregation and show significant activity in depressing blood sugar levels.

Claims

1. A glycosylated insulin having the formula ##STR21## wherein Z and X are different and are selected from the group consisting of -H and -OH, and m is an integer of 1 to 3 and wherein each glycosyl group is attached to the insulin by a thioamide linkage through one or more of the α

-amino groups of the A-1 glycine, B-1 phenylalanine or ε

-amino group of the B-29 lysine moieties of the insulin molecule.

2. A glycosylated insulin according to claim 1 wherein Z is -H and X is -OH.

3. A glycosylated insulin according to claim 1 wherein Z is -OH and X is -H.
