Abstract
One relatively unexplored drug target for type 2 diabetes is the glucose-sensing enzyme glucokinase (GK); mutations that reduce GK activity cause a rare inherited form of diabetes in humans. Grimsby et al. have identified a class of small molecules that allosterically activate GK. When orally administered to rodent models of type 2 diabetes, these compounds significantly improved glucose tolerance by enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion from the pancreas and by stimulating glucose utilization in the liver.

2型糖尿病的一个相对未开发的药物靶点是葡萄糖感应酶葡萄糖激酶(GK);降低GK活性的突变导致一种罕见的人类遗传性糖尿病。Grimsby等人发现了一类能变构激活GK的小分子。当给2型糖尿病啮齿动物模型口服时,这些化合物通过增强胰腺葡萄糖依赖型胰岛素分泌和刺激肝脏葡萄糖利用,显著改善了葡萄糖耐量。J.格里姆斯比,R.萨拉布,W. L.科比特,n.e。Haynes, F. T.
