Repaglinide, a new oral antidiabetic agent: a review of recent preclinical studies

Abstract: Repaglinide is a new carbamoylmethyl benzoic acid derivative that is structurally related to meglitinide. In common with all active oral hypoglycaemic agents, it displays a comparable U-shaped configuration. Repaglinide exerts its effects by binding to a site on the plasma membrane of beta-cells, thereby closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels. This causes depolarization of the beta-cell and the opening of voltage-sensitive calcium channels allowing the influx of extracellular calcium ions. This increase in i… Show more

“…It achieves this by closing ATP-dependent potassium channels in the membrane of the beta cells. [5,6] Repaglinide is well tolerated in general and also in elderly diabetic patients and people with diabetes and mild or moderate renal or hepatic impairment. [7] Fixed dose (0.5 mg) clinical trial are supportive of the efficacy and safety of Repaglinide to produce significant improvement in glycemic control.…”
