is an oral antihyperglycemic agent used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus type II. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class of insulin secretagogues, which stimulates β cells of the pancreas to release insulin. binds to the β cell sulfonyl urea receptor (SUR1), further blocking the ATP sensitive potassium channels. Therefore, the potassium efflux substantially decreases, causing depolarization of the β cells. Then the voltage-dependent calcium channels in the β cell are open, resulting in calmodulin activation, which in turn leads to exocytosis of insulin containing secretorty granules. Recent studies have also shown that can effectiveimprove anti-oxidant status and nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation in Type 2 diabetes and protect pancreatic beta-cells from damage by hydrogen peroxide.
is an oral hypoglycemic agent used to treat non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.Treatment of diabetes associated with obesity or vascular disease, for adults with type 2 diabetes.Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. reduces blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin secretion from the β-cells of the islets of Langerhans.
