OBESITY RESEARCH SOLUTIONSGlimepiride-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of glimepiride (Item No. 12090) by GC- or LC-MS. Glimepiride is a long-acting sulfonylurea that inhibits ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in pancreatic β-cells (IC50 = 3 nM), which leads to the release of insulin.1 At 20 μM, glimepiride has been shown to increase the activity of intracellular insulin receptors and to prevent insulin receptor downregulation during chronic insulin stimulation through a mechanism involving protein kinase C activation.2 It has been reported to be less effective at inhibiting nonpancreatic KATP channels, and therefore contributes fewer cardiac actions, compared to earlier generations of sulfonylurea anti-type 2 diabetes treatments.3
