More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to a composition for treating diabetes mellitus, containing insulin and a GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist, and to a method for treating diabetes mellitus. More specifically, the composition may remarkably improve medication compliance by inhibiting weight gain caused by the administration of insulin, reducing the risk of hypoglycemia, and reducing a dose of insulin through concomitant administration of a long-acting insulin conjugate and a long-acting GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist conjugate. In addition, the long-acting insulin conjugate and long-acting GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist according to the present invention may improve in-vivo sustainability and stability since the insulin and GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist thereof are linked to an immunoglobulin Fc region via a non-peptidyl linker. 본 발명은 인슐린 및 GLP-1/글루카곤 이중작용제를 포함하는 당뇨병 예방 또는 치료용 조성물, 및 당뇨병 치료 방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 구체적으로 상기 조성물은 지속형 인슐린 결합체 및 지속형 GLP-1/글루카곤 이중작용제 결합체의 병용 투여를 통하여 인슐린 투여에 따른 체중 증가 억제와 저혈당 위험 감소 및 인슐린 투여량을 낮추어 복약 순응도를 월등히 개선할 수 있다. 아울러, 본 발명의 지속형 인슐린 결합체 및 지속형 GLP-1/글루카곤 이중작용제 결합체는 각각 인슐린 및 GLP-1/글루카곤 이중작용제가 비펩타이드성 링커를 통해 면역글로불린 Fc 영역과 연결되어 생체 내 지속성 및 안정성이 향상된다.
