Lipophilicity predicts the ability of nonsulphonylurea drugs to block pancreatic beta‐cell K(ATP) channels and stimulate insulin secretion; statins as a test case

AIMS: K(ATP) ion channels play a key role in glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion. However, many drugs block K(ATP) as “off targets” leading to hyperinsulinaemia and hypoglycaemia. As such drugs are often lipophilic, the aim was to examine the relationship between drug lipophilicity (P) and IC (50)...
