LY2608204 is an activator of glucokinase (GK; EC50 = 42 nM). It stimulates glucose metabolism in INS-1E rat insulinoma cells (mean EC50 = 579 nM). LY2608204 (30 mg/kg) decreases plasma glucose levels in a dose-dependent manner in fasted rats.
Globalagliatin (LY2608204) is an orally active glucokinase (GK) activator with an EC50 of 42 nM. Globalagliatin also stimulates glucose metabolism in rat insulinoma INS1-E cells with an EC50 of 579 nM. Globalagliatin targets both pancreatic β-cells and hepatocytes. Globalagliatin is promising for research of type 2 diabetes[1][2][3].
