Descroption
Glibenclamide belongs to the second generation oral sulfonylurea drugs with the mechanism of action being similar as tolbutamide and the hypoglycemic effect being strongest among sulfonylurea drugs. Its intensity of action is about 200 to 250 times of that of Tolbutamide. It can selectively act on the pancreatic β-cells, promote insulin secretion; can enhance the hypoglycemic effect of exogenous insulin and strengthen the post-receptor effect of insulin.
Glibenclamide has fast oral absorption with high protein binding rate. It begins to take effect after 30 minutes with the effect being strongest at 1.5 hours and the duration of 16 to 24 hours. It has a distribution volume of 0.1L / kg, plasma protein binding rate of 90% to 95% and half-life of 4 to 8 hours. It is mainly consumed by the liver metabolism with six metabolites. Two of them are known as hydroxylated compounds with no hypoglycemic effect and is mainly excreted from the urine and a small amount is excreted by the stool. It is clinically mainly used for the treatment of mild to moderate non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus .
Recently , an international study found that the commonly used diabetes drug glibenclamide can help the body's immune system to fight against certain bacterial infections, e.g. in the treatment of melioidosis, the mortality rate can be reduced by about half.
Melioidosis is a disease prevalent in tropical areas such as Southeast Asia and northern Australia. It is caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei with the symptoms including sepsis and pneumonia. The mortality rate is high. Diabetic patients tend to be more susceptible to melioidosis, but the mortality rate is lower compared with other patients .
