Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugs.com/pro/tolbutamide.html

Tolbutamide is an oral antihyperglycemic agent used for the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). It is structurally similar to acetohexamide, chlorpropamide and tolazamide and belongs to the sulfonylurea class of insulin secretagogues, which act by stimulating β cells of the pancreas to release insulin. Sulfonylureas lower blood glucose in patients with NIDDM by directly stimulating the acute release of insulin from functioning beta cells of pancreatic islet tissue by an unknown process that involves a sulfonylurea receptor (receptor 1) on the beta cell. Sulfonylureas inhibit the ATP-potassium channels on the beta cell membrane and potassium efflux, which results in depolarization and calcium influx, calcium-calmodulin binding, kinase activation, and release of insulin-containing granules by exocytosis, an effect similar to that of glucose.

PRIMARY Description: A white or almost white, crystalline powder; odourless or almost odourless. Solubility: Practically insoluble in water; soluble in 10 parts of ethanol (~750 g/l) TS; soluble in acetone R. Category: Antidiabetic. Storage: Tolbutamide should be kept in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Additional information: Even in the absence of light, Tolbutamide is gradually degraded on exposure to a humid atmosphere, the decomposition being faster at higher temperatures. Definition: Tolbutamide contains not less than 99.0% and not more than 101.0% of C12H18N2O3S, calculated with reference to the dried substance.
