Antidiabetic Glimepiride Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient CAS 93479-97-1

Antidiabetic Glimepiride Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient CAS 93479-97-1

Introduction

• Glimepiride (original trade name Amaryl) is an orally available medium-to-long-acting sulfonylureaantidiabetic drug. It is sometimes classified as either the first third-generation sulfonylurea,or as second-generation.
• Glimepiride is indicated to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus; its mode of action is to increase insulin production by the pancreas. It is not used for type 1 diabetes  because in type 1 diabetes the pancreas is not able to produce insulin.

Side Effects

Side effects from taking glimepiride include gastrointestinal tract(GI), disturbances, occasional allergic reactions, and rarely blood production disorders including thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and hemolytic anemia. In the initial weeks of treatment, the risk of hypoglycemia may be increased. Alcohol consumption and exposure to sunlight should be restricted because they can worsen side effects.

Mechanism of action

Like all sulfonylureas, glimepiride acts as an insulin secretagogue It lowers blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin by pancreatic beta cells and by inducing increased activity of intracellular insulin receptors.

Not all secondary sufonylureas have the same risks of hypoglycemia. Glibenclamide (glyburide) is associated with an incidence of hypoglycemia of up to 20–30%, compared to as low as 2% to 4% with glimepiride. Glibenclamide also interferes with the normal homeostatic suppression of insulin secretion in reaction to hypoglycemia, whereas glimepiride does not. Also, glibenclamide diminishes glucagon secretion in reaction to hypoglycemia, whereas glimepiride does not.
