Description

S-Methylisothiouronium sulfate (SMTS) is a drug that is used as an antidiabetic agent. It has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and lower plasma glucose levels, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the activity of creatine kinase. In addition, SMTS increases cytosolic calcium levels and has been shown to be effective in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. This drug binds selectively to guanidinoacetate receptors, which are involved in the regulation of blood sugar levels. SMTS inhibits the activity of other enzymes, such as amines and chloride, leading to increased insulin sensitivity.
