Insulin secretion by pancreatic beta-cells in response to glucose or other secretagogues is tightly coupled to membrane potential. Various studies have highlighted the prospect of enhancing insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner by blocking voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv) and calcium-activated potassium channels (KCa). Such strategy is expected to present a lower risk for hypoglycemic events compared to KATP channel blockers. Our group recently reported the discovery of a new insulinotropic agent, cardiotoxin-I (CTX-I), from the Naja kaouthia snake venom. In the present study, we report the design and synthesis of [Lys(52)]CTX-I41-60 via structure-guided modification, a truncated, equipotent analogue of CTX-I, and demonstrate, using various pharmacological inhibitors, that this derivative probably exerts its action through Kv channels. This new analogue could represent a useful pharmacological tool to study beta-cell physiology or even open a new therapeutic avenue for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
