Abstract: Glucagon receptor plays an important role in the glucose homeostasis and thus is drug target for the management of hyperglycemia in type-2 diabetes mellitus. The suppression of glucagon secretion from the alpha-cells is the key to control hyperglycemic condition. The identification of non-peptide antagonists of glucagon receptor is an effective therapeutic approach to inhibit the glucagon secretion to achieve normal glucose index.
