Gliclazide (BILXONA®) is an oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agent which is used in type 2 diabetes to stimulate insulin production. It differs from other related compounds by an N-containing heterocyclic ring with an endocyclic bond. Gliclazide (BILXONA®) reduces blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin secretion from the beta-cells of the islets of Langerhans. Increase in postprandial insulin and C-peptide secretion persists after two years of treatment. In addition to these metabolic properties, Gliclazide (BILXONA®) has haemovascular properties. It is not available for sale in the United States.

The daily dose may vary from 1 to 4 tablets per day, i.e. from 30 to 120 mg taken orally in a single intake at breakfast time.
Route of Administration:
Oral
Gliclazide blocked whole-cell murine beta-cell Katp currents with an IC50 of 184 +/- 30 nmol/l (n = 6-10) but was much less effective in rat cardiac and smooth muscle (IC50s of 19.5 +/- 5.4 micromol/l (n = 6-12) and 37.9 +/- 1.0 micromol/l (n = 5-10), respectively). In all three tissues, the action of the drug on whole-cell Katp currents was rapidly reversible. In inside-out patches on beta-cells, gliclazide (1 micromol/l) produced a maximum of 66 +/- 13 % inhibition (n = 5), compared with more than 98 % block in the whole-cell configuration.
