Application

Glybenclamide has been used:
  • as a positive control oral hypoglycemic drug to study the hypoglycemic effects of Chlorella in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice
  • as a K+ATP channel antagonist in canine with induced acute hypoxia
  • as an inhibitor of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel in fetal distal lung epithelial (FDLE) cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glybenclamide is a sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic drug used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has benzamide moiety and stimulates pancreatic β cells to produce insulin resulting in a hypoglycemic effect. It selectively blocks ATP-sensitive K+ channels in the brain with high-affinity binding sites and elicits cardiovascular effects. It may be a potential therapeutic for thromboembolic disorders due to its in vivo antiplatelet functionality. Glybenclamide traverses to the ischemic brain and provides neuroprotection especially during the early stages of stroke.
Selectively blocks ATP-sensitive K+ channels; high affinity binding sites found in brain, pancreatic β cells, and cardiovascular system.
