“…Effective in rodent models (Grimsby et al, 2003(Grimsby et al, , 2008Efanov et al, 2005;Coope et al, 2006;McKerrecher et al, 2006;Fyfe et al, 2007) The second with progress to the clinic; well tolerated (Daniewski et al, 2007;Kester et al, 2009;Matschinsky, 2009;Bonadonna et al, 2010) 2007; Phase II; thereafter trials discontinued probably for priority reasons (Caulkett et al, 2005) Behaves similarly to LY2121260 (Wei et al, 2009); also prevents INS-1 cell apoptosis when induced by chronic high glucose conditions, probably via normalization of the apoptotic protein BCL2-associated agonist of cell death (BAD) and its phosphorylation (Johnson et al 2007; reviewed by Matschinsky, 2009;Wei et al, 2009;) (Futamura et al, 2006); Some of this class came down to an EC 50 of 0.076 M at 2.5 mM glucose concentration promising good in vivo results Bertram et al, 2008;Briner et al, 2007) …”
