Abstract

Among the sulfonylurea 1., and class of anti-diabetic drugs, glimepiride 2., and 1 has many distinctive advantages and is by far the most superior blood glucose lowering agent. 3 Its biological activity initiates with binding to the 65 KD protein of the putative receptor. In addition, glimepiride shows a three-fold faster rate of association and a nine-fold faster rate of dissociation than glibenclamide, 1., and which permitted its use as a once daily administration drug. 4 ...
