Product Description

Glimepiride (HOE-490; HOE490; Amaryl; Glimepiridum; Amarel; Glimepirida; Roname), a third generation and medium-to-long acting sulfonylurea compound, is a potent Kir6.2/SUR inhibitor with potential antidiabetic activity. It inhibits SUR1, SUR2A and SUR2B with IC50s of 3.0 nM, 5.4 nM, and 7.3 nM. It was approved for use in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mechanism of action of Glimepiride is to increase the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells. In addition, glimepiride increases the activity of intracellular insulin receptors. Glimepiride increases osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, which is thought to be related to its ability to activate the PI3K and Akt pathway.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)

ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Glimepiride inhibits Kir6.2/SUR currents by interaction with two sites: a low-affinity site on Kir6.2 (IC(50)= approximately 400 mM) and a high-affinity site on SUR (IC(50)=3.0 nM for SUR1, 5.4 nM for SUR2A and 7.3 nM for SUR2B). Glimepiride exhibits a higher potency compared to Glibenclamide with respect to stimulation of glucose transport, glucose transporter isoform 4 (GLUT4) translocation and lipid and glycogen synthesis in normal and insulin-resistant adipocytes and in muscle cells, as well as of the potential underlying signalling processes examined at the molecular level. Glimepiride associates in a time- and concentration dependent non-saturable manner with detergent-insoluble complexes of the plasma membrane which may correspond to caveolae. Glimepiride blocks pinacidil-activated whole-cell K(ATP) currents of cardiac myocytes with an IC(50) of 6.8 nM, comparable to the potency of Glibenclamide in these cells. Glimepiride blocks K(ATP) channels formed by co-expression of Kir6.2/SUR2A subunits in HEK 293 cells in outside-out excised patches with a similar IC(50) of 6.2 nM.

Cell Assay: When cultured cells in the presence of a physiological insulin dose and glimepiride (10 μM), 2-deoxyglucose uptake was increased to 186% of control. Glimepiride also increased 2-deoxyglucose uptake in the absence of insulin. At the same time, glimepiride increased the expression of both GLUT1 and GLUT4 to 164% and 148% of control, respectively. These results suggested glimepiride increased cardiac glucose uptake in an insulin-independent pathway.

ln Vivo

One brand-new sulfonylurea is glimepiride (Glimperide). Blood sugar levels in rabbits were lowered by 2.5 times following intravenous treatment of Hoe 490 and by 3.5 times after oral administration of glyburide (HB 419) [1]. Extracellular Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels are lowered by glimepiride (glimeperide). Glimepiride is anticipated to be a good medication for the treatment of AD associated with diabetes [2]. Compared to other sulfonylureas, glimepiride (glimeperide) is typically linked to a decreased risk of hypoglycemia and less weight gain. Since glimepiride (glimeperide) has no negative effects on ischemia preconditioning, it may be safer to use in patients with cardiovascular disease [3].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
