Resumen

En 1922 se inyectó por primera vez insulina a un paciente con diabetes. Desde entonces hasta el momento actual la industria farmacéutica desarrolló insulinas iguales a la humana y con perfiles de acción y metabolización que intentan reproducir la forma en que el páncreas segrega insulina al torrente circulatorio en respuesta a las comidas y al ayuno, o sea intentando reproducir la secreción fisiológica de insulina. Mediante técnicas de bioingeniería, la molécula de insulina ha sido alterada, cambiando la secuencia de algunos aminoácidos de sus cadenas (análogos) con lo que se han obtenido algunas fórmulas que brindan un perfil de acción muy rápido -útiles para imitar las excursiones posprandiales- y otras de acción prolongada con las que se puede imitar la secreción basal de insulina.
El propósito de este trabajo fue realizar una revisión de la secreción fisiológica de insulina; los fundamentos para la creación de los análogos de insulina y su farmacocinética; las dificultades en el uso de las insulinas convencionales; las evidencias existentes de los beneficios del uso de análogos y la forma de usarlos.
