Mechanism of action

Insulin Lispro-aabc is a biosynthetic insulin analog engineered with amino acid substitutions (aabc denotes the specific modifications) that allow faster absorption and onset of action compared to human insulin. It mimics endogenous insulin by binding to insulin receptors on muscle and adipose tissue, promoting glucose uptake and storage while suppressing hepatic glucose production. The rapid kinetics make it suitable for mealtime insulin therapy in diabetes management.
