Historically, the production of insulin release was carried out at the beginning of his counterparts from the cells of animals. These compounds are different from human insulin structure, so in the future, scientists have started to make their chemical modification. However, the method proved too expensive for industrial production.
A little later, for the same purpose was used bacteria that are being genetically modified, are beginning to synthesize insulin analogue. This method is caught by the fact that required a less serious changes in the structure derived molecules.
In SemBioSys Genetics went another way. Researchers have built a safflower gene that causes a plant to produce a compound called scientists proinsulin. Then the material was treated with special enzymes and received a special type of insulin - SBS-1000.
The tests showed that the structure, physical properties and functionality of SBS-1000 corresponds to human insulin, as well as safe for health. Scientists compare the effect of SBS-1000 with two other commercial preparations used to treat diabetes, and study its biological effect on humans. On the results Canadian company promises to report in the first half of this year.
New method for insulin will significantly reduce production costs. In particular, it will not have to make complex and expensive process of bacteria. That safflower in North America is almost grown. This means that he has almost no related species and, consequently, the likelihood is minimal loss of genes that are so necessary for the production of proinsulin from these plants.
