Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

The prevalence and medical and economic impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing in Western societies. New agents have been developed that act primarily to reduce postprandial glucose excursions, which may be of particular significance now that postprandial glucose

To review the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, dosing guidelines, adverse effects, drug interactions, and clinical efficacy of nateglinide. Primary and review articles regarding nateglinide were identified by MEDLINE search (from 1966 to January 2001); abstracts were identified through the Institute for Scientific

Therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus should aim to control not only fasting, but also postprandial glucose levels. Nateglinide, a d-phenylalanine derivative, restores postprandial early phase insulin secretion in a transient and glucose-sensitive manner without affecting basal insulin levels. As

It has been hypothesized that reducing postprandial glucose spikes would result both in improved overall glycemic control and long-term (especially cardiovascular) outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. Nateglinide, a short-acting insulin secretagogue of the meglitinide class of antidiabetic agents
