Bioactivity | Mitiglinide Calcium (KAD-1229 anhydrous), an insulinotropic agent, is an ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel antagonist. Mitiglinide Calcium is highly specific to the Kir6.2/SUR1 complex (the pancreatic beta-cell KATP channel). Mitiglinide Calcium can be used for the research of type 2 diabetes[1][2]. |
Target | KATP channel |
Invitro | Mitiglinide Calcium inhibits the Kir6.2/SUR1 channel currents in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 value, 100 nM) but does not significantly inhibit either Kir6.2/SUR2A or Kir6.2/SUR2B channel currents even at high doses (more than 10 μM) in COS-1 cells[1]. |
In Vivo | Mitiglinide Calcium (1-3 mg/kg; p.o.) suppresses the increase in plasma glucose levels seen after a meal load and the area under the curve for plasma glucose levels (AUCglucose) up to 5 h after the meal load[2]. Animal Model: |
