Structural nucleotide analogs are potent activators/inhibitors of pancreatic β cell KATP channels: an emerging mechanism supporting their use as antidiabetic drugs.
The 2H-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives are novel drugs structurally similar to nucleotides; however, their actions on the pancreatic β cell ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel and on glucose disposal are unknown. Therefore, the effects of the linear/branched alkyl substituents and the aliphatic/aromatic rings at position 2 of the 2H-1,4-benzoxazine nucleus on the activity of these molecules against the...
متن کاملStructure of a Pancreatic ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) couple intracellular ATP levels with membrane excitability. These channels play crucial roles in many essential physiological processes and have been implicated extensively in a spectrum of metabolic diseases and disorders. To gain insight into the mechanism of KATP, we elucidated the structure of a hetero-octameric pancreatic KATP channel in complex with...

The ATP-sensitive K+-channel (KATP channel) plays a key role in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. It is closed both by glucose metabolism and the sulfonylurea drugs that are used in the treatment of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, thereby initiating a membrane depolarization that activates voltage-dependent Ca2+ entry and insulin release. The beta cell KATP channel is a comp...
متن کاملMolecular action of sulphonylureas on KATP channels: a real partnership between drugs and nucleotides
Sulphonylureas stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells primarily by closing ATP-sensitive K(+) channels in the β-cell plasma membrane. The mechanism of channel inhibition by these drugs is unusually complex. As direct inhibitors of channel activity, sulphonylureas act only as partial antagonists at therapeutic concentrations. However, they also exert an additional indirect inhibitor...

Background & Aim: Renal dysfunction due to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common problem following renovascular surgery or kidney transplantation. There is a lot of emerging evidence that statins, which are HMG-COA reductase inhibitors, have renal protective effects against ischemia-reperfusion injury,but the exact mechanism of their protective effect has not been detected properly....
