The mechanistic details of its specific activity are unknown. Here, we describe a series of synthetic substituted cereulide potassium ionophores that cause impressive selective activation of glucose-induced insulin secretion in a constitutive manner in rat insulinoma INS1E cells. Our study demonstrates that the different electroneutral K+ transport mechanism exhibited by the anionic mutant depsipeptides when compared with classical electrogenic cereulides can have an important impact of pharmacological value on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
