Drug Action Pathway
Nateglinide is an antihyperglycemic agent, a meglitinide one. It is used in the treatment of non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). This drug had the function to increase the insulin release by the pancreas to the blood. It does this by inhibiting the ATP-sensitive potassium channels in a glucose-dependent manner. This drug does not act on the insulin level without the presence of glucose, which differentiates it from sulfonylurea drugs. The mechanism of action starts with the need for functioning beta cells in the pancreas and glucose in the blood. Since the release of insulin is controlled by the beta cells membrane potential, the binding of the drug to the ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 8 causes its closing. This results in the depolarization of the cell and the opening of the L-type calcium channels. In consequence, the increased concentration of calcium results in the stimulation of the calcium-dependent exocytosis of insulin granules. An overdose of this drug may result in the development of hypoglycemic symptoms. Nateglinide is administered as an oral tablet.
