Imeglimin is an experimental drug being developed as an oral anti-diabetic. It is an oxidative phosphorylation blocker that acts to inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis, increase muscle glucose uptake, and restore normal insulin secretion. It will be the first of a new class of anti-diabetic if it is approved.
Imeglimin is in development (completed phase IIb clinical trials) for use both as monotherapy and in combination with other type-2 diabetes treatments.[1][2]
Various research protocols are being known through various scientists. Early studies showed that imeglimin is as effective as metformin in regulating glycaemic control.[3]
