ABSTRACT
Oral administration of SaRI 59-801 (DL-alpha-[dimethylaminomethyl]-2-[3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazolyl]-1H- indole-3-methanol) has been reported to decrease blood glucose in several species and to elevate plasma insulin in rats and mice. In studies with isolated rat pancreatic islets incubated 1 h with 3 mM glucose, 0.05 mM 59-801 produced a significant increase in insulin secretion, and 0.3 mM produced maximum release. 59-801 (0.3 mM) stimulated insulin release 4-5-fold from islets incubated with 0, 3, or 5 mM glucose but had little effect on the high rates of release obtained at 10 or 20 mM glucose. Ten millimolar mannoheptulose, which inhibits phosphorylation of glucose and blocks glucose-stimulated insulin release, had little effect on the stimulation of insulin release by 0.3 mM 59-801 from islets incubated with 3 mM glucose. Stimulation of insulin release in the absence of glucose or in the presence of 3 mM glucose plus 10 mM mannoheptulose suggests that glucose metabolism is not required for the action of 59-801. The rate of conversion of 5 mM [5(-3)H]-glucose to 3H2O by islets, a measure of the rate of glycolysis, was not affected by 59-801. The potency, dependency on glucose concentration, lack of inhibition by mannoheptulose, and lack of effect on glycolysis of 59-801 were similar to that of tolbutamide. However, proinsulin synthesis by islets incubated with 5.55 mM glucose was not affected by 0.5 mM 59-801, but was inhibited 72% and 67% by 0.5 mM tolbutamide and 0.1 mM glibenclamide, respectively.
