Bioactive Alkaloids With Anti-Neuroinflammatory Activity From Mangrove Sediment-Derived Fungus Pseudallescheria sp. SYSU-M4. (PubMed, Chem Biodivers) - "SYSU-M4, isolated from mangrove sediments and grown on rice medium, yielded sixteen alkaloids (1-16), including two new compounds dihydroversimide B (1) and glulisine B (3), two new natural products 6S-dihydroversimide (2) and 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-3-isobutylpyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione (5), along with twelve known alkaloids...Notably, these compounds moderately attenuated LPS-stimulated BV-2 cell activation by downregulating interleukin-1β (IL-1β), indicating their potential anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, Compound 11 exhibited slight to moderate AChE inhibitory activity, with an IC50 of 82.2 µM."

Aging with type 1 diabetes: a perspective on "octagenarians" living with type 1 diabetes in Italy (EASD 2025) - "Among patients treated with the conventional basal-bolus insulin regimen, most (76.5%) were treated with second-generation basal insulin (glargine U300 or degludec). The most used rapid insulin analogues were lispro (44%), aspart (32.4%), glulisine (10%), and faster aspart (11.9%)... Many people with type 1 diabetes have aged, becoming 'octogenarians' by being regularly followed up in Italian diabetes centers. The overall quality of care for patients regularly followed up has resulted in a lower-than-expected burden of end-stage renal disease, visual loss, and diabetic foot. Management of CV risk factors could be improved."

Comparison of Efficacy of Short-Acting Human Insulin and Fast-Acting Insulin Analog after High- and Low-Carbohydrate Meal—Do the Pharmacokinetic Differences Matter? (ADA 2025) - "Therefore, their pharmacokinetic profile would rather reflect glycemic profile after high-carbohydrate meal (HCM), whereas delayed and longer action of SHI would rather reflect glycemia after low-carbohydrate meal (LCM). In a cross-over, open label study we administered SHI (Gensulin R, Bioton) or FIA (Apidra, Sanofi), both in the same dose 15 minutes before high- and low-carbohydrate standard morning meal, in a random sequence during four days, in 30 insulin-treated persons with type 2 diabetes. The results suggest that in persons with type 2 diabetes the composition of meal may be more important to achieve better postprandial glucose values and better glucose control than use of fast-acting insulin analog instead of short-acting human insulin."

Effects of regular, glulisine, and aspart insulin on vascular endothelial growth factor and angiotensinogen expression in hyperglycemic retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) and human retinal endothelial cells (HRECs). (PubMed, Front Ophthalmol (Lausanne)) - "These findings highlight the differential biological effects of insulin analogues and suggest that aspart insulin, in particular, may offer therapeutic benefits beyond glycemic control by modulating both VEGF-A and RAS-related pathways. Tailored insulin therapies could represent innovative strategies for managing or slowing the progression of diabetic retinopathy."

IMPROVEMENT OF GLYCEMIA IN A PATIENT WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES ON PERITONEAL DIALYSIS ON AN INSULIN PUMP WITH AN ADVANCED HYBRID CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM (ATTD 2025) - "Background and Aims A 43-year-old refugee woman with poorly controlled T1D (since 1988; June 2022 - HbA1c 11%) on a basal-bolus insulin regiment (glargine 22 IU + glulisine 16-12-16 IU) was admitted to a diabetes outpatients clinic in Slovenia...However, she irregularly administers 2-3 IU around 3:00 am.Results Average time in range (TIR) ​​on CGMS was 75.2% (71 – 83%). TIR on IP increased from an initial 52% to an average of 88.3% over the last 3 months, with a best period TIR of 92%, with no hypoglycemia.Conclusions IP with AHCLS and empirical modification of insulin boluses helps to improve glycemia in peritoneal dialysis with glucose solution."

First Dimension Trap-and-Elute Combined with Second Dimension Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography Separation Using a Two-Dimensional-Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry System for Sensitive Quantification of Human Insulin and Six Insulin Analogs in Plasma: Improved Chromatographic Resolution and Stability Testing. (PubMed, J Sep Sci) - "Multidimensional chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), including simple sample preparation with protein precipitation, anion conversion with ammonium hydroxide, and solid-phase extraction using mixed-mode anion exchange in a 96-well plate format, has been validated for rapid simultaneous analysis of human insulin and its six analogs (lispro, glulisine, glargine, degludec, detemir, and aspart) in human plasma. Intra-run precision ranged from 1.1% to 5.7%, inter-run precision from 0.7% to 5.9%, and overall recovery from 96.9% to 114.3%. The validated method has been implemented successfully by the Department of Forensic Medicine at our hospital for the investigation of unexplained deaths."

Optimization of a mass spectrometric analytical method for the quality assessment of insulin and its analogs. (PubMed, Pharmazie) - "In this study ESI-MS was used to assess the quality of human insulin, short acting insulin analogs, insulin lispro, insulin aspart and insulin glulisine and long acting analogs including insulin glargine, insulin degludec, and insulin detemir, in respective pharmaceutical formulations. The study results demonstrated that MS is a suitable technique for the analysis of biotechnological compounds like insulin and its analogs. Although the obtained results provide an important information regarding this methodology, further studies are needed to validate this analytical approach and check for its suitability to be used in the regulatory environment."

Prandial Insulins: A Person-Centered Choice. (PubMed, Curr Diab Rep) - "In contrast, rapid-acting analogs, such as lispro, aspart, and glulisine, are new insulin types with amino acid modifications that enhance their subcutaneous absorption, resulting in a faster onset and shorter action duration. Ultra-rapid analogs, like faster aspart and ultra-rapid lispro, offer even shorter onset of action, providing better meal-time flexibility. The Technosphere insulin offers an inhaled route for prandial insulin delivery...Ongoing research is focused on refining prandial insulin replacement and exploring newer delivery methods. The article provides a comprehensive overview of various prandial insulin options and their clinical applications in the management of diabetes."

Biorelevant subcutaneous in vitro test predicts the release of human and fast acting insulin formulations.
