Mandi, May 2: A medicinal molecule that can be used to treat diabetes has been found by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi. IIT Mandi said in a press statement on Monday that the molecule, known as PK2, can activate the release of insulin by the pancreas and could be utilised as an orally delivered diabetes treatment.

Details of the study were published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, according to the news release.

“Current drugs such as exenatide and liraglutide used for diabetes, are administered as injections, and they are costly and unstable after administration. We seek to find simpler drugs that are stable, cheap, and effective against both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes,” Dr. Prosenjit Mondal, Associate Professor, School of Basic Sciences, IIT Mandi has authored the paper. Dr Prosenjit Mondal, said.

“Beyond increasing insulin release, PK2 was also able to prevent and even reverse beta cell loss, a cell essential for insulin production, making it effective for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes,” he added.
