Background And Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Although current medications such as metformin can effectively control blood glucose levels, their ability to improve β-cell function and suppress chronic inflammation remains limited. Emodin, a natural compound with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and insulin-sensitizing properties, has shown therapeutic promise; however, its clinical application is constrained by poor water solubility and low bioavailability.

Aims: K-757 and K-833 are novel full agonists of GPR40 and GPR119, respectively, which are nutrient receptors co-expressed on both pancreatic beta cells and gut enteroendocrine cells that signal through complementary mechanisms. We sought to assess the effects on glucose control and body weight following co-administration of K-757 and K-833.

Materials And Methods: We conducted two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 studies in overweight-obese subjects with T2DM maintained on metformin to characterize the effects on secretion of gut incretin and appetite-regulating hormones, glucose control and body weight following combined therapy with K-757 and K-833.
