Interaction of nateglinide with K(ATP) channel in beta-cells underlies its unique insulinotropic action

Nateglinide is a novel insulinotropic agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is a D-phenylalanine derivative, chemically distinct from repaglinide and sulphonylureas (glyburide or glimepiride). Although each agent is known to stimulate insulin release via the signaling cascade initiated by closure of ATP-dependent K+ (K(ATP)) channels in pancreatic beta-cells, the pharmacological effect of nateglinide is reportedly fast-acting, short-lasting, sensitive to ambient glucose and more resistant to metabolic inhibition. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the molecular mechanism(s) underlying the distinct properties of the insulinotropic action of nateglinide. By using the patch-clamp methods, we comparatively characterized the potency and kinetics of the effect of these agents on K(ATP) channels in rat beta-cells at normal vs. elevated glucose and under physiological condition vs. experimentally induced metabolic inhibition. Our results demonstrated that the mode of the action of nateglinide on K(ATP) current was unique in (a) glucose dependency; (b) increased potency and efficacy under ATP depletion and uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation than physiological condition; (c) substantially more rapid onset and offset kinetics. The data provide mechanistic rationale for the unique in vivo and ex vivo activity profile of nateglinide and may contribute to reduced hypoglycemic potential associated with excessive insulin secretion.
