CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION
The primary mechanism of action of glimepiride appears to be dependent
on stimulating the release of insulin from functioning pancreatic beta
cells. In addition, extra-pancreatic effects (e.g. reduction of basal
hepatic
glucose production and increased peripheral tissue sensitivity to
insulin
and glucose uptake) may also play a role in the activity of
glimepiride.
However, as with other sulfonylureas, the mechanism by which
glimepiride
lowers blood glucose during long-term administration has not been
clearly established.
PHARMACOKINETICS
After oral administration glimepiride is completely absorbed from the
GI
tract. The oral bioavailability is approximately 100%. Peak plasma
concentrations occur in 2-3 hours. More than 99% of the drug is bound
to plasma proteins. Glimepiride is completely metabolized by oxidative
biotransformation into two main metabolites, a hydroxy derivative and
a carboxy derivative.
The elimination half-life (t
1
/
2
)
after multiple doses is about 5-8 hours.
Approximately 60% of dose is eliminated in the urine and 40% in the
feces.
SPECIAL POPULATIONS
_Renal Insufficiency_
A single-dose clinical study glimepiride showed that glimepiride serum
levels decreased as renal function decreased. However, metabolite
serum levels (mean AUC values) i
