Molecular Formula C24H34N4O5S
Molecular Weight 490.6
Structure
State solid
Clearance A single-dose, crossover, dose-proportionality (1, 2, 4, and 8 mg) study in normal subjects and from a single- and multiple-dose, parallel, dose proportionality (4 and 8 mg) study in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) were performed. In these studies, the total body clearance was 52.1 +/- 16.0 mL/min, 48.5 +/- 29.3 mL/min in patients with T2D given a single oral dose, and 52.7 +/- 40.3 mL/min in patients with T2D given multiple oral doses [F4540]. Following intravenous dosing in healthy subjects, the total body clearance was 47.8 mL/min [FDA Label].
Volume of distribution Following intravenous dosing in healthy subjects, the volume of distribution was 8.8 L (113 mL/kg) [FDA Label].
Route of elimination Following oral administration of glimepiride in healthy male subjects, approximately 60% of the total radioactivity was recovered in the urine in 7 days, with M1 and M2 accounting for 80-90% of the total radioactivity recovered in the urine. The ratio of M1 to M2 was approximately 3:2 in two subjects and 4:1 in one subject [FDA Label]. Approximately 40% of the total radioactivity was recovered in feces where M1 and M2 accounted for about 70% of the radioactivity and a ratio of M1 to M2 being 1:3. No parent drug was recovered from urine or feces [FDA Label].
Protein binding Plasma protein binding of glimepiride is greater than 99.5% [FDA Label].
Half life The elimination half-life of glimepiride is approximately 5 to 8 hours [A177715], which can increase up to 9 hours following multiple doses [A177709].
Absorption Glimepiride is completely absorbed after oral administration within 1 hour of administration with a linear pharmacokinetics profile [A177703]. Following administration of a single oral dose of glimepiride in healthy subjects and with multiple oral doses with type 2 diabetes, the peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) were reached after 2 to 3 hours post-dose [FDA Label]. Accumulation does not occur after multiple doses [A177703]. When glimepiride was given with meals, the time to reach Cmax was increased by 12% while the mean and AUC (area under the curve) were decreased by 8 to 9%, respectively [F4540]. In a pharmacokinetic study of Japanese patients with T2DM, Cmax value in once-daily dose was higher than those in twice-daily doses [A177724]. The absolute bioavailability of glimepiride is reported to be complete following oral administration [A177721].
