title: Antidiabetic activity of MTP-3115 in normal and diabetic mice.
abstract: MTP-3115 is a newly-synthesized thiopyranopyrimidine compound with a structure similar to that of MTP-1403 and MTP-1307. However, the biological profile of MTP-3115 is different from that of MTP-1403 and MTP-1307 (previously reported). Similar to MTP-1403 and MTP-1307, MTP-3115 improves glucose tolerance in both normal and obese-diabetic viable yellow mice with equal potency. However, unlike MTP-1403 and MTP-1307, MTP-3115 also lowers blood glucose of fed and fasted normal and obese-diabetic viable yellow mice. Although the mechanisms of action of MTP-3115 are not elucidated, it is unlikely that its mode of action is similar to that of sulfonylureas because tolbutamide neither improves glucose tolerance nor lowers blood glucose in obese-diabetic viable yellow mice.
