Mitiglinide (INN,[1] trade name Glufast) is a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.[2]

Mitiglinide belongs to the meglitinide (glinide) class of blood glucose-lowering drugs and is currently co-marketed in Japan by Kissei and Takeda. The North America rights to mitiglinide are held by Elixir Pharmaceuticals. Mitiglinide has not yet gained FDA approval.

Pharmacology

[edit]

Mitiglinide is thought to stimulate insulin secretion by closing the ATP-sensitive potassium KATP channels in pancreatic β cells.

Dosage

[edit]

Mitiglinide is delivered in tablet form.
