Tolbutamide sodium (also known as HLS 831; trade names: Artosin, Diabetol, Orinase) is a potent and selective inhibitor of potassium channel, which is originally used as an oral hypoglycemic medication. The drug may be used for the management of type II diabetes. Tolbutamide has been reported to inhibit both the basal and the cyclic AMP-stimulated protein kinase activities with an IC50 value of 4mM for cyclic AMP-dependent kinase activity. In addition, Tolbutamide has been revealed to inhibit both soluble and membrane-bound protein kinase from canine heart.

In vitro activity: Tolbutamide belongs to a class of medications called sulfonylureas. Tolbutamide lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin (a natural substance that is needed to break down sugar in the body) and helping the body use insulin efficiently. This medication will only help lower blood sugar in people whose bodies produce insulin naturally. Tolbutamide is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) or diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition that may occur if high blood sugar is not treated). Tolbutamide inhibits both the basal and the cyclic AMP-stimulated protein kinase activities and the IC50 of Tolbutamide is 4 mM. Similar Tolbutamide concentrations are required for half maximal inhibition of in vitro lipolysis induced by hormones (norepinephrine and ACTH) or by dibutyryl cyclic AMP plus theophylline. Tolbutamide also inhibits both soluble and membrane-bound protein kinase from canine heart. The Tolbutamide inhibition of adipose tissue cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is one possible explanation for the antilipolytic effects of this drug. Tolbutamide inhibits C6-glioma cell proliferation by increasing Cx43, which correlates with a reduction in pRb phosphorylation due to the up-regulation of the Cdk inhibitors p21 and p27. Cytosolic nucelotides enhance the Tolbutamide sensitivity of the ATP-dependent K+ channel in mouse pancreatic B cells by their combined actions at inhibitory and stimulatory receptors.

| ln Vivo |
450 mg Tolbutamide/kg/day given for 7 days significantly increases the binding of insulin to isolated adipocytes. The binding curves reflect an increase in the number of receptor sites rather than in the affinity. The effect is associated with an enhanced response to insulin of the adipose tissue, since the fat cells obtained from animals treated with Tolbutamide convert significantly more glucose to lipids in the presence of insulin than those obtained from the control group. However, the augmentation of insulin binding sites is observed only at a large tolbutamide dosage, which reduces the pancreatic insulin content, the secretory response of the isolated pancreas, and the serum insulin levels. Smaller doses, sufficient to produce metabolic effects via a stimulation of insulin secretion, do not provide additional insulin binding sites.

| Cell Assay |
In the present work, researchers show that tolbutamide and dbcAMP increase the synthesis of the tumor suppressor protein Cx43 and that they decrease the level of Ki-67, a protein expressed when cells are proliferating. These effects were accompanied by a reduction in the phosphorylation of pRb, mainly on Ser-795, a residue critical for the control of cell proliferation. The decrease in the phosphorylation of pRb is not likely to be mediated by a reduction in the levels of D-type cyclins, since instead of decreasing the expression of cyclins, D1 and D3 increased slightly after treatment with tolbutamide or dbcAMP. However, the Cdk inhibitors p21 and p27 were up-regulated after treatment with tolbutamide and dbcAMP, suggesting that they would be involved in the decrease in pRb phosphorylation. When Cx43 was silenced by siRNA, neither tolbutamide nor dbcAMP were able to up-regulate p21 and consequently to reduce glioma cell proliferation, as judged by Ki-67 expression. In conclusion, tolbutamide and dbcAMP inhibit C6-glioma cell proliferation by increasing Cx43, which correlates with a reduction in pRb phosphorylation due to the up-regulation of the Cdk inhibitors p21 and p27[2].

| Animal Protocol |
The functional state of beta cells may influence the rate of their destruction in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. We examined the effect of diazoxide, which inhibits insulin secretion, or tolbutamide, which stimulates insulin secretion, upon the incidence of diabetes in the non-obese-diabetic (NOD) mouse. Female mice were treated from 3-30 weeks of age with diet containing diazoxide 250 mg.kg-1 or tolbutamide 125 mg.kg-1. The cumulative incidence of diabetes at 35 weeks was similar in the diazoxide (16 of 24) and control (18 of 24) groups, but reduced in the tolbutamide group (10 of 23, p < 0.04 vs control group). In a second experiment, treatment was started from 9 weeks of age, by which time insulitis is already present. The cumulative incidence of diabetes at 35 weeks was 16 of 24 in controls, 15 of 24 on diazoxide and 11 of 24 on tolbutamide (p = NS vs control). A third experiment compared the effect of treatment from 3 weeks with control diet or diet containing tolbutamide 125 mg.kg-1 or 500 mg.kg-1. Diabetes was reduced by tolbutamide treatment, with a cumulative incidence of 25 of 31 in controls, 18 of 30 on tolbutamide 125 mg.kg-1 (p < 0.04) and 14 of 32 on 500 mg.kg-1 (p < 0.002), although the difference between the two treatment groups failed to reach statistical significance. A fourth experiment showed that treatment from 3-12 weeks with diazoxide 1000 mg.kg-1 increased the extent of insulitis compared with controls and animals treated with tolbutamide 500 mg.kg-1.[3]
Pretreatment of pregnant BALB/c mice with several low doses of tolbutamide protected against the fetolethal effects of a high dose. Pregnant mice were given single ip injections of 400 mg/kg in saline on day 13; 100 mg/kg/day on days 10, 11, 12, and 13; or 100 mg/kg/day on days 10, 11, and 12 and 400 mg/kg on day 13. On day 16 the single-treatment group had a significantly higher resorption rate than any other group. Fetolethality was not related to hypoglycemia. The protective effect of pretreatment may have been due to induction of maternal microsomal enzymes.[4] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption
Readily absorbed following oral administration. Tolbutamide is detectable in plasma 30-60 minutes following oral administration of a single dose with peak plasma concentrations occurring within 3-5 hours. Absorption is unaltered if taken with food but is increased with high pH. Route of Elimination Unchanged drug and metabolites are eliminated in the urine and feces. Approximately 75-85% of a single orally administered dose is excreted in the urine principally as the 1-butyl-3-p-carboxyphenylsulfonylurea within 24 hours.

Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation Tolbutamide is no longer marketed in the United States. It is excreted into breastmilk in small amounts that should cause no harm to the breastfed infant. Monitor breastfed infants for signs of hypoglycemia such as jitteriness, excessive sleepiness, poor feeding, seizures cyanosis, apnea, or hypothermia. If there is concern, monitoring of the breastfed infant's blood glucose is advisable during maternal therapy with hypoglycemic agents. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.

Tolbutamide Sodium is the sodium salt form of tolbutamide, a short-acting, first-generation sulfonylurea with hypoglycemic activity. Compared to second-generation sulfonylureas, tolbutamide is more likely to cause adverse effects, such as jaundice. This agent is rapidly metabolized by CYPC29.
