| 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. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Selectively blocks ATP-sensitive K+ channels; high affinity binding sites found in brain, pancreatic β cells, and cardiovascular system. |
