TAK- 875 is better than glimepiride in management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Activation of free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1; also known as G-protein-coupled receptor 40) by fatty acids stimulated glucose-dependent β-cell insulin secretion in preclinical models. Study was carried out to assess whether selective pharmacological activation of this receptor by TAK-875 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus improved glycaemic control without hypoglycaemia risk.

Its result was TAK-875 significantly improved glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes with minimum risk of hypoglycaemia. The results show that activation of FFAR1 is a viable therapeutic target for treatment of type 2 diabetes.Based on the randomised double blind controlled trial conducted between Nov 17, 2009, and Sept 29, 2010, at 95 sites in the USA, Mexico, and Guatemala.
