Glimepiride (CAS 93479-97-1) is a sulfonylurea compound widely used in research on type 2 diabetes It primarily acts by enhancing glucose uptake both in the presence and absence of insulin In cultured cells glimepiride (10 M) increases 2-deoxyglucose uptake to 186% of control and upregulates GLUT1 and GLUT4 expression to 164% and 148% of control respectively indicating insulin-independent mechanisms for stimulating cardiac glucose uptake In rodent models glimepiride administration reduced diabetes incidence by 23% in BB rats and decreased blood glucose HbA1c and plasma insulin levels in KK-Ay mice highlighting its utility for investigating glucose metabolism and diabetes pathophysiology
