Abstract: Repaglinide is a novel non-sulfonylurea oral hypoglycemic agent by stimulating insulin secretion, with a structure of amino acid profile.Its action occurs rapidly and sustains shortly.By simulating the physiology secretion of insulin, it majors in controlling hyperglycemia and reduces the incident of hypoglycemia.In this paper,we will give a review about the pharmacokinetic features, genomics research progress, drug interaction of repaglinide,in order to lay down a solid theory foundation for the guidance in clinical usage of repaglinide, ensure the safety and effectiveness of clinical usage, achieving individualized therapy in its true sense.

Key words: Repaglinide, Pharmacokinetic feature, Genetic polymorphism, Individualized therapy
