NN414 is a potent Kir6.2/SUR1 selective K-ATP channel opener.
NN414 is a potent Kir6.2/SUR1 selective K-ATP channel opener. Activation of the pancreatic Kir6.2/SUR KATP channels inhibits insulin release to induce beta cell rest, reducing the workload of the beta cell which is thought may prove beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes. A recent study found that NN414 also triggered burst-like discharges in substantia nigra dopamine neurons. These K-ATP channel enabled burst-like discharges are associated with novelty-dependent exploratory behavior and may also have relevance to Parkinson′s disease.

Hypothalamic glucose-excited (GE) neurons contribute to whole-body glucose homeostasis and participate in the detection of hypoglycaemia. This system appears defective in type 1 diabetes, in which hypoglycaemia commonly occurs. Unfortunately, it is at present unclear which molecular components required for

Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a rare disease characterized by persistent hypoglycemia as a result of inappropriate insulin secretion, which can lead to irreversible neurological defects in infants. Poor efficacy and strong adverse effects of the current medications impede successful treatment.
Individuals with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) are often exposed to recurrent episodes of hypoglycaemia. This reduces hormonal and behavioural responses that normally counteract low glucose in order to maintain glucose homeostasis, with altered responsiveness of glucose sensing hypothalamic neurons implicated.
