Previous studies have shown that prolonged exposure to drugs, which act via blocking KATP channels, can desensitize the insulinotropic effects of drugs and nutrients acting via KATP channels. In this study, effects of prolonged exposure to diazoxide, a KATP channel opener, on beta cell function were examined using clonal BRIN-BD11 cells. The findings were compared to the long-term effects of KATP channel blockers nateglinide and tolbutamide. Following 18 h exposure to 200 microM diazoxide, the amounts of insulin secreted in response to glucose, amino acids and insulinotropic drugs were increased. Secretory responsiveness to a variety of agents acting via KATP channels was retained following prolonged diazoxide exposure. In contrast, 18 h exposure to 100 microM nateglinide significantly attenuated the insulin secretory responses to tolbutamide, nateglinide and BTS 67 582. Glucose- and L-alanine-stimulated insulin release were unaffected by prolonged nateglinide exposure, however responsiveness to L-leucine and L-arginine was diminished. Prolonged exposure to nateglinide had no effect on forskolin- and PMA-stimulated insulin release, and the overall pattern of desensitization was similar to that induced by 100 microM tolbutamide. We conclude that in contrast to chronic long-term KATP channel blockade, long-term diazoxide treatment is not harmful to KATP channel mediated insulin secretion and may have beneficial protective effects on beta cell function.

Rapid Acting Insulinotropic Agents: Restoration of Early Insulin Secretion as a Physiologic Approach to Improve Glucose Control

Q4 · MEDICINE

Review

Author: Pratley, Richard E. ; Foley, James E. ; Dunning, Beth E.

The loss of early insulin secretion appears to be a critical event in the deterioration in glucose tolerance during the development of type 2 diabetes. There is therefore a strong rationale for developing new antidiabetic agents aimed at restoring or replacing early prandial insulin secretion and thereby curbing mealtime glucose excursions in patients with type 2 diabetes. Four such new agents are either now available (repaglinide and nateglinide) or in clinical development (KAD-1229 and BTS 67 582). Preclinical studies suggest that each of these new insulinotropic agents share a common receptor/effector mechanism with the sulfonylureas (SUs) but that each may have distinct characteristics that differentiate them from the SUs and from each other. Nateglinide and KAD-1229 clearly stimulate biphasic insulin secretion in vitro and in vivo and their effects are rapidly reversible, whereas the effects of repaglinide and BTS 67 582 are prolonged well beyond their removal from perfusion media in vitro or their clearance in vivo. Available data from human studies indicate that the pharmacokinetics of repaglinide and nateglinide are similar, i.e., they are both rapidly absorbed and eliminated, but consistent with findings from animal studies, the insulinotropic and glucose-lowering effects of repaglinide are slower in onset and more prolonged than those of nateglinide. Repaglinide and nateglinide have been shown to be safe and well-tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes and to produce clinically-meaningful reductions of HbA1c, both alone and in combination with agents with complementary modes of action (e.g., metformin and thiazolidinediones). Because these new agents can potentially bring patients to near normoglycemia without an undue risk of hypoglycemia, they are important additions to the therapeutic armamentarium.

Stimulation of insulin secretion in clonal BRIN-BD11 cells by the imidazoline derivatives KU14r and RX801080

The imidazoline derivatives KU14R and RX801080 have each been reported to antagonize imidazoline-stimulated insulin secretion. This study investigated the effects of a range of concentrations of both KU14R and RX801080 on insulin secretion from the clonal pancreatic beta cell line, BRIN-BD11. In the presence of a stimulatory (8.4 m m) glucose concentration, both KU14R (50-200 microm;P< 0.01 to P< 0.001) and RX801080 (50-200 microm;P< 0.01 to P< 0.001) were found to dose-dependently stimulate insulin secretion. The imidazoline efaroxan (200 microm) stimulated insulin secretion (P< 0.001) from BRIN-BD11 cells. This insulinotropic effect was significantly augmented by KU14R (100-200 microm;P< 0.01 to P< 0.001) and RX801080 (200 microm;P< 0.05). Insulin secretion from BRIN-BD11 cells was also stimulated by the novel guanidine derivative BTS 67 582 (200 microm;P< 0.001). This secretagogue action was augmented both by KU14R (25-200 microm;P< 0.001) and by RX801080 (25-200 microm;P< 0.05 to P< 0.001). It is concluded that, rather than acting as antagonists of imidazoline-induced insulin secretion, the imidazoline derivatives KU14R and RX801080 are themselves potent insulinotropic agents.
