Bioactivity | Nateglinide, a D-phenylalanine derivative, is an orally active and short-acting insulinotropic agent and a DPP IV inhibitor. Nateglinide inhibits ATP-sensitive K+ channels in pancreatic β-cells. Nateglinide is used for the treatment of type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Nateglinide inhibits typical recordings of dinitrophenol-induced KATP currents in a concentration-dependent manner. Nateglinide exhibits IC50 values of 7.4 μM and 2.4 μM for 5 mM glucose (G5) and 16 mM (G16) glucose, respectively[2]. RT-PCR[2] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Nateglinide (50mg/kg, orally in mice) stimulates human C-peptide secretion in the humanized mice and improved postprandial glucose concentrations[3]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
