Abstract

Imeglimin hydrochloride is an novel drug evolve for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is characterized by its unique mechanism of action, targeting both pancreatic beta cells and peripheral tissues to improve insulin secretion and sensitivity. Early clinical trials showed promise in reducing blood sugar levels, but further research was needed to determine its safety and effectiveness. Some reported side effects included gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea and diarrhea. The regulatory status of Imeglimin varied by region, and patients were advised to consult with healthcare professionals for the latest information on its availability and use. Validation of imeglimin hydrochloride and its enantiomers, drug release patterns of the nanofibers,  comparing its impact with other available drug like metformin, method of action by targeting mitrocondria, pharmacokinetics and therapeutic effect of imeglimin hydrochloride, Imeglimin treatment, both short- and long-term, counteracts the metabolic syndrome's cardiorenal dysfunction, its Potential Ketoacidosis, its solubility and UV-Spectrophotometry.
