title: Study of the insulinotropic effect of the novel antihyperglycemic agent KAD-1229 using HIT T15 cells, a hamster's insulinoma cell line.
abstract: The insulinotropic effect of (+)-monocalcium bis [(2S)-2-benzyl-3-(cis-hexahydro-2-isoindolinyl-carbonyl)propionate] dihydrate (CAS 145375-43-5, KAD-1229) was assessed by comparing it with those of glibenclamide (CAS 10238-21-8), nateglinide (CAS 105816-04-4), and repaglinide (CAS 135062-02-1) using HIT T15 cells, a hamster insulinoma cell line. Although their potencies were different, KAD-1229, glibenclamide, nateglinide, and repaglinide all concentration-dependently and significantly induced insulin release from these cells. Further, each agent displaced the binding of 3H-glibenclamide to the cell membrane and inhibited 86Rb+ efflux from the cells. These results indicate that KAD-1229, glibenclamide, nateglinide, and repaglinide each exert their insulinotropic effect by binding to the glibenclamide binding sites (sulfonylurea receptors) on pancreatic beta-cells and closing K+ channels. Diazoxide, a K+ channel opener, and nitrendipine, a Ca2+ blocker, suppressed the insulin release induced by KAD-1229 or glibenclamide. These results demonstrate that the insulinotropic actions of KAD-1229 and glibenclamide involve similar underlying pathways.
