Glimepiride is a second-generation sulfonylurea that stimulates pancreatic β cells to release insulin. Glimepiride is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitu as monotherapy as well as in combination with metformin or insulin[1].
In vitro, Glimepiride (0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 2.5 and 5μM; 1h) stimulated the release of CD14 from RAW 264 cells[2]. Glimepiride (10μM; 1, 4 and 7 days) induced the proliferation and differentiation of rat osteoblasts in a high glucose microenvironment[3]. Glimepiride (10µM; 30min) induces NO production by HCAECs[4].
In vivo, Glimepiride (1, 2 or 4mg/kg; 4 days; p.o.) prevents 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine induced dopamine neurons degeneration through attenuation of glia activation and oxidative stress in mice[5]. Glimepiride (4mg/kg; 3 weeks; i.p.) ameliorates renal toxicity induced by cadmium in mice[6].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HCAECs |
Preparation Method | HCAECs were incubated with 10µM Glimepiride, HGF (positive control) or vehicle in Krebs’ buffer (118mM NaCl, 4.7mM KCl, 2.5mM CaCl₂, 1.2mM MgSO₄, 1.2mM KH₂PO₄, 11mM glucose, 25mM NaHCO₃, 20mM HEPES, pH 7.4) pre-warmed to 37°C; after 30min the supernatant was collected from the dishes and kept at 4°C. The released nitric oxide (NO) was quantified within 24h of each collection using a NOx-analyzing HPLC system. |
Reaction Conditions | 10µM; 30min |
Applications | Glimepiride induces NO production by HCAECs. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | 20 to 25g mice |
Preparation Method | During the experimental period, animals had ad libitum access to food and water; they were divided into four groups: Group 1 received saline as the normal control, Group 2 received intraperitoneal CdCl₂ (6.5mg/kg) for seven consecutive days as the CdCl₂ control, Group 3 received Glimepiride (4mg/kg; i.p.), and Group 4 was co-treated with CdCl₂ plus Glimepiride, with Glimepiride continued for 3 weeks. Twenty-four hours after the last dose, mice were anaesthetized with thiopental sodium (50mg/kg) and euthanized; blood collected via cardiac puncture into dry Eppendorf tubes was allowed to clot for 30min and then centrifuged at 2000g for 15min, and the serum was stored at -20°C for biochemical assays; both kidneys were excised—one fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde for histopathology and the other snap-frozen at -80°C for ELISA. |
Dosage form | 4mg/kg; 3 weeks; i.p. |
Applications | Glimepiride ameliorates renal toxicity induced by cadmium in mice. |
