A small but growing body of research also links IAPP-mediated proteotoxic stress to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and to the functional decline of transplanted islets. Among the most promising therapeutic approaches under investigation are small organic molecules that may act as direct chemical chaperones to prevent IAPP aggregation, promote the activity of endogenous chaperones, or alter gene networks of the unfolded protein response (UPR) to promote pro-survival rather than pro-apoptotic pathways in response to IAPP-mediated proteotoxic stress. Compounds warranting special attention include 4-phenylbutyrate (PBA), tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), as each has a growing body of evidence supporting their ability to ameliorate this process, and given that each of these are already known to have good safety profiles in humans, potentially accelerating the timeline to interventional studies. This review explores the evidence for IAPP-mediated proteotoxicity in multiple forms of diabetes, the mechanisms of cytotoxicity at different levels of the cell\u2019s protein quality control systems, how these small organic compounds may act on these processes including new insights on the role of thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), and the current evidence supporting each of these compounds in mitigating diabetogenesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27073004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,26]],"date-time":"2026-03-26T13:36:40Z","timestamp":1774532200000},"page":"3004","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Use of Small Organic Molecules to Improve Pancreatic Beta Cell Resilience to IAPP-Induced Proteotoxic Stress"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Kai","family":"Valshon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Endocrinology, Rady Children\u2019s Health Orange County, Orange, CA 92868, USA"},{"name":"Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship Program, University of California Irvine, Orange, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-6059-8662","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaili","family":"Kondrot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of California Irvine, Orange, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hana","family":"Uehara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of California Irvine, Orange, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7793-394X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Alexander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of California Irvine, Orange, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hirohito","family":"Ichii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of California Irvine, Orange, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"International Diabetes Federation (2026, February 17).
