Meglitinide is an ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel inhibitor. Meglitinide exhibits IC50 values of 0.26 μM, 0.53 μM and 1.6 μM against KATP channels containing SUR1, SUR2A and SUR2B, respectively, with a Kd value of 7 μM for both SUR1 and SUR2A, and a Kd value of 8 μM for SUR2B. Meglitinide binds to the SUR1, SUR2A and SUR2B subunits with high affinity to close KATP channels, acting on a binding site shared by all SUR subtypes, and its interaction with SUR1 carrying the S1237Y mutation remains unchanged. Meglitinide is applicable to research related to type 2 diabetes.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
