glyburide
Glyburide is an oral medication used to control blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It is in a class of drugs known as sulfonylureas which work by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. Glyburide is used when diet and exercise alone does not adequately control blood sugar levels. It is not used in the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
Wikidata
Glyburide
A member of the second generation of the sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agents. Glyburide inhibits the ATP-sensitive potassium channels on the beta-cell membrane, thereby preventing potassium efflux leading to membrane depolarization and subsequent calcium influx. The increased intracellular levels of calcium induce insulin secretion from functioning beta-cells of the pancreatic islet tissue and leads to a lowering in blood glucose levels.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
