Pharmacology

Indication

For concomitant use with insulin for the treatment of noninsulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus.

Structured Indications

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Pharmacodynamics

Glimepiride, like glyburide and glipizide, is a "second-generation" sulfonylurea agents. Glimepiride is used with diet to lower blood glucose by increasing the secretion of insulin from pancreas and increasing the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin.

Mechanism of action

The mechanism of action of glimepiride in lowering blood glucose appears to be dependent on stimulating the release of insulin from functioning pancreatic beta cells, and increasing sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin. Glimepiride likely binds to ATP-sensitive potassium channel receptors on the pancreatic cell surface, reducing potassium conductance and causing depolarization of the membrane. Membrane depolarization stimulates calcium ion influx through voltage-sensitive calcium channels. This increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration induces the secretion of insulin.

Absorption

Completely (100%) absorbed following oral administration.

Volume of distribution

21.8 ± 13.9 L [Volunteers]
19.8 ± 12.7 L [Patients with Type 2 diabetes, Single Dose]
37.1 ± 18.2 L [Patients with Type 2 diabetes, Multiple Dose]

Protein binding

Over 99.5% bound to plasma protein.

Metabolism

Hepatic. Following either an intravenous or oral dose, glimepiride is completely metabolized by oxidative biotransformation to a major metabolite, cyclohexyl hydroxymethyl derivative (M1), via the hepatic cytochrome P450 II C9 subsystem. M1 is further metabolized to the carboxyl derivative (M2) by one or several cytosolic enzymes. M1, but not M2, possessed approximately one third of the pharmacologic activity of its parent in an animal model. However, whether the glucose-lowering effect of M1 is clinically significant is not clear.

Targets

Details

1. ATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 11

Kind: Protein
Organism: Human
Pharmacological action: yes
Actions: inhibitor

General Function:: Voltage-gated potassium channel activity
Specific Function:: This receptor is controlled by G proteins. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages. The inward rectific...

Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive vol...

1. Cytochrome P450 2C9

Kind: Protein
Organism: Human
Pharmacological action: unknown
Actions: substrate

General Function:: Steroid hydroxylase activity
Specific Function:: Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It oxidizes a variety of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. This enzyme contributes to the wide pharmacokinetics variability of the metabolism of drugs such as S-warfarin, diclofenac, phenyto...
