Biochem/physiol Actions

Nateglinide is a short-acting insulin secretagogue useful in treating type 2 diabetes. It is an insulinotropic agent effective for postprandial hyperglycemia. Nateglinide restores prandial insulin levels in a glucose-dependent manner.

Nateglinide is a Kir6.2/SUR1 channel inhibitor and antidiabetic. It is selective for the SUR1 subtype, which is found on pancreatic islet cells. Nateglinide evokes KATP channel-dependent insulin secretion (50-200 µM) in the absence and presence of insulin.
