Comparison of the rapidity of onset of the therapeutic effect between nateglinide and mitiglinide by PK/PD analysis in rats.
Summary of "Comparison of the rapidity of onset of the therapeutic effect between nateglinide and mitiglinide by PK/PD analysis in rats."
Nateglinide and mitiglinide are immediate short-acting insulinotropic agents. Both are administered preprandially to control postprandial hyperglycemia. Glinide drugs are characterized by immediate onset as well as rapid disappearance of effect as compared with sulfonylurea drugs. We examined the rapidity of onset of the therapeutic effect between nateglinide and mitiglinide by pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis using the receptor-binding-dissociation model in rats. Nateglinide or mitiglinide was administered orally or intravenously to rats and blood samples were collected at various time-points post administration. The plasma concentrations of the unbound drug forms and the blood glucose were measured. When the simultaneous fitting of oral administration and intravenous administration was performed using the receptor-binding-dissociation model, the measured values exhibited good correspondence with the fitting curve. Moreover, the time-courses of changes of the receptor-binding rate (sulfonylurea receptor) were examined using the parameters (k (on): second-order binding association constant to the receptor, Φ: receptor-binding occupancy ratio) obtained from the analysis. The results showed that the binding rate, which is important for glinide drugs in the early phase after administration, was obviously higher for nateglinide than that for mitiglinide from 10 min after oral administration and between 0 and 30 min after intravenous administration. These results suggest a more rapid onset of the therapeutic effect of nateglinide than that of mitiglinide after the drug is distributed into the blood.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Cross-cultural Comparison
Comparison of various psychological, sociological, or cultural factors in order to assess the similarities or diversities occurring in two or more different cultures or societies.
Placebo Effect
An effect usually, but not necessarily, beneficial that is attributable to an expectation that the regimen will have an effect, i.e., the effect is due to the power of suggestion.
Arthritis, Juvenile Rheumatoid
Rheumatoid arthritis of children occurring in three major subtypes defined by the symptoms present during the first six months following onset: systemic-onset (Still's Disease, Juvenile-Onset), polyarticular-onset, and pauciarticular-onset. Adult-onset cases of Still's disease (STILL'S DISEASE, ADULT-ONSET) are also known. Only one subtype of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (polyarticular-onset, rheumatoid factor-positive) clinically resembles adult rheumatoid arthritis and is considered its childhood equivalent.
Comparative Study
Comparison of outcomes, results, responses, etc for different techniques, therapeutic approaches or other inputs.
Enprostil
A synthetic PGE2 analog that has an inhibitory effect on gastric acid secretion, a mucoprotective effect, and a postprandial lowering effect on gastrin. It has been shown to be efficient and safe in the treatment of gastroduodenal ulcers.
