Description

Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68002747

Chlorpropamide (DIABINESE®), is a sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. It appears to lower the blood glucose acutely by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The mechanism by which chlorpropamide (DIABINESE®) lowers blood glucose during long-term administration has not been clearly established. Extra-pancreatic effects may play a part in the mechanism of action of oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs. While chlorpropamide is a sulfonamide derivative, it is devoid of antibacterial activity. Chlorpropamide (DIABINESE®) may also prove effective in controlling certain patients who have experienced primary or secondary failure to other sulfonylurea agent.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The mild to moderately severe, middle-aged, stable type 2 diabetes patient should be started on 250 mg daily. In elderly patients, debilitated or malnourished patients, and patients with impaired renal or hepatic function, the initial and maintenance dosing should be conservative to avoid hypoglycemic reactions. Older patients should be started on smaller amounts of DIABINESE®, in the range of 100 to 125 mg daily.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

The ATP-sensitive potassium channels containing the K23/A1369 risk haplotype were significantly less sensitive to inhibition by chlorpropamide (IC50 values for risk haplotype K23/A1369 vs. nonrisk haplotype E23/S1369 = 4.19 vs. 3.04 uM).
