The molecular weight is 493.99. The aqueous solubility of Glyburide
increases with pH as
a result of salt formation.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Glyburide appears to lower the blood glucose acutely by stimulating
the release of insulin
from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in
the pancreatic
islets. The mechanism by which Glyburide lowers blood glucose during
long-term
administration has not been clearly established.
With chronic administration in Type II diabetic patients, the blood
glucose lowering effect
persists despite a gradual decline in the insulin secretory response
to the drug.
Extrapancreatic effects may play a part in the mechanism of action of
oral sulfonylurea
hypoglycemic drugs.
In addition to its blood glucose lowering actions, Glyburide produces
a mild diuresis by
enhancement of renal free water clearance. Clinical experience to date
indicates an
extremely low incidence of disulfiram-like reactions in patients while
taking Glyburide.
