GKA50 (0.01-100 μM; 24 hours) enhances INS-1 cell proliferation with EC
50
values ranging from 1 to 2 μM.
GKA50 (1.2 μM+40 μM glucose; 2-4 days) treatment reduces apoptosis induced by chronic high glucose in INS-1 cells.
GKA50 activates human glucokinase enzymatic activity with an EC
50
of 0.022 μM. GKA50 stimulates insulin secretion in the pancreatic insulinoma cell line, INS-1, with an EC
50
of 0.065 μM. GKA50 reduces chronic-high-glucose-induced apoptosis via modulation of glucokinase and apoptotic protein BAD.
Cell Proliferation Assay
| Cell Line: | INS-1 cells (starved overnight with 3 μM glucose) |
| Concentration: | 0.01-100 μM |
| Incubation Time: | 24 hours |
| Result: | Stimulated cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, with EC 50 values ranging from 1 to 2 μM. |
GKA50 (1-30 mg/kg; p.o.) gives significant glucose lowering in an oral glucose tolerance test.
| Animal Model: | High-fat-fed obese female Zucker (fa/fa) rats |
| Dosage: | 1, 3, 10, 30 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Oral administration |
| Result: | Significant percentage glucose lowering. |
