Mitiglinide is the calcium salt form of Mitiglinide, which is a drug for the treatment of type II diabetes. It belongs to the meglitinide class blood glucose-lowering drug. Its mechanism of action is through stimulating the insulin secretion through closing the ATP-sensitive potassium channels in the pancreatic beta-cells. This process leads to depolarization, further stimulating the influx of calcium through the voltage-gated calcium channels. The high intracellular calcium level results in the exocytosis of insulin granules, alleviating the symptoms of type II diabetes.
