Glimepiride
A sulfonylurea oral antidiabetic used to improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas and enhancing insulin's action in peripheral tissues. It is often used alone or in combination with insulin or other diabetes medications when lifestyle modifications are insufficient. Regular monitoring of blood glucose is important to avoid hypoglycemia.

作用机制
Binds to the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1) on pancreatic beta cells, closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels and triggering membrane depolarization. This opens voltage-gated calcium channels, leading to insulin exocytosis.
