Oral Hypoglycaemic Agents
Classification
• Sulfonyl ureas: Tolbutamide, Chlorpropamide, Glipizide, Glimepiride.
• Biguanides: Metformin.
• Thiazolidinediones: Pioglitazone, Rosiglitazone.
• Meglitinides: Repaglinide, Nateglinide.
• Glucosidase inhibitors: Acrabose, Voglibos
Sulfonyl ureas
• These oral hypoglycemic medications are the first class used to treat
diabetes.
• Mechanism of action?
These drugs bind to the sulfonyl urea receptors present in pancreatic β-
cells. It leads to closure of ATP-sensitive K+ channels. Then it opens
voltage gated Ca+2 channels and stimulates β-cells to secrete more
insulin.
• 1 st generation- Chlorpropamide, Tolbutamide
• 2 nd generation- Glipizide
• 3 rd generation- Glimepiride

Synthesis of Tolbutamide
SAR
• A substitutent, ideally in the para position, must be present in the
benzene ring. The antihyperglycaemic efficacy was found to be
enhanced by substituents such as methyl, acetyl, amino, chloro,
bromo, trifluoromethyl.
• It was discovered that the activity is further increased when the para
position of benzene is substituted with an aryl carboxamidoalkyl group
(second-generation sulphonylureas, such as glibenclamide).
•
• For activity, the size of the group linked to the terminal nitrogen is
essential. The N-propyl and higher homologues were found to be
active, and the activity is lost when the N-substituent comprises 12 or
more carbons. The group should also confer lipophilicity to the
compound's N-methyl and ethyl substituents, which show no activity.
