    A novel insulin-heparin complex demonstrated a twofold increase in hypoglycemic effect in diabetic animals. This complex also enhanced blood anticoagulation and exhibited non-enzymatic fibrinolytic activity, unlike free insulin.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Pharmacology
    • Hematology

    Context:

    • Developing novel drug delivery systems for diabetes management.
    • Investigating the dual therapeutic potential of insulin-heparin complexes.
    • Understanding the interaction between insulin, heparin, and blood coagulation/fibrinolysis.

    Purpose:

    • To synthesize and characterize an insulin-heparin complex in vitro.
    • To evaluate the in vivo hypoglycemic efficacy of the complex compared to free insulin in alloxan-induced diabetic animals.
    • To assess the effects of the insulin-heparin complex on blood anticoagulation and fibrinolysis.

    Summary:

    • An insulin-heparin complex was successfully prepared in vitro.
    • In alloxan-induced diabetic animals, the complex showed a >2-fold enhanced hypoglycemic effect compared to free insulin.

  • The insulin-heparin complex increased blood anticoagulation and displayed non-enzymatic fibrinolytic activity, independent of plasmin.
  • Impact:

    • Highlights the potential of complexation to improve insulin's therapeutic index in diabetes.
    • Suggests a novel therapeutic strategy combining glycemic control with anticoagulant and fibrinolytic properties.
    • Opens avenues for developing multifunctional agents for managing diabetes with associated cardiovascular risks.
