4.4 Drug Indication

For treatment of NIDDM in conjunction with diet and exercise.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Chlorpropamide, a second-generation sulfonylurea antidiabetic agent, is used with diet to lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus type II. Chlorpropamide is twice as potent as the related second-generation agent glipizide.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Hypoglycemic Agents

Substances which lower blood glucose levels. (See all compounds classified as Hypoglycemic Agents.)

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Readily absorbed from the GI tract. Peak plasma concentrations occur within 2-4 hours and the onset of action occurs within one hour. The maximal effect of chlorpropamide is seen 3-6 hours following oral administration.


Route of Elimination

80-90% of a single oral dose is excreted in the urine as unchaged drug and metabolites within 96 hours.

Chlorpropamide is readily absorbed from the GI tract following oral administration. Following oral administration of a single dose, the drug is detectable in plasma within 1 hour and peak plasma chlorpropamide concentrations occur within 2-4 hours.

5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Up to 80% of dose is metabolized likely through the liver to to 2-hydroxylchlorpropamide (2-OH CPA), p-chlorobenzenesulfonylurea (CBSU), 3-hydroxylchlorpropamide (3-OH CPA), and p-chlorobenzenesulfonamide (CBSA); CBSA may be produced by decomposition in urine. It is unknown whether chlorpropamide metabolites exert hypoglycemic effects.

5.8 Mechanism of Action

Sulfonylureas such as chlorpropamide bind to ATP-sensitive potassium channels on the pancreatic cell surface, reducing potassium conductance and causing depolarization of the membrane. Depolarization stimulates calcium ion influx through voltage-sensitive calcium channels, raising intracellular concentrations of calcium ions, which induces the secretion, or exocytosis, of insulin.


...ACTION OF SULFONYLUREAS APPEARS TO BE STIMULATION OF RELEASE OF INSULIN FROM BETA CELLS. ...TO BE EFFECTIVE, PT MUST HAVE SOME FUNCTIONAL ISLET CELLS... /HYPOGLYCEMIC SULFONYLUREAS/

Sulfonylureas cause hypoglycemia by stimulating insulin release from pancreatic beta cells. Their effects in the treatment of diabetes ... are more complex. /Sulfonylureas/

Sulfonylureas are now...thought to act by a number of different mechanisms. 1. ...produce a depolarization of the pancreatic islet beta cell membrane potassium ion permeability. This results in a release of preformed insulin into the circulation and occurs mostly in non-insulin dependent diabetics. 2. ...reduce basal glucose output from the liver... 3. increase insulin receptor binding... 4. ...increasing intracellular levels of AMP... 5. increase insulin secretion by suppressing the release of glucagon and somatostatin from alpha and delta pancreatic cells. /Sulfonylureas/

Sulfonylureas lower blood glucose in 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 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. Insulin is a hormone that lowers blood glucose and controls the storage and metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Therefore, sulfonylureas are effective only in patients whose pancreata are capable of producing insulin. /Sulfonylurea antidiabetic agents/
