Stimulation of glucose utilization in 3T3 adipocytes and rat diaphragm in vitro by the sulphonylureas, glimepiride and glibenclamide, is correlated with modulations of the cAMP regulatory cascade [PDF]
The long-term hypoglycemic activity of sulphonylurea drugs has been attributed, in part at least, to the stimulation of glucose utilization in extra-pancreatic tissues. The novel sulphonylurea, glimepiride, gives rise to a longer lasting reduction in the

Mechanism of pharmacochaperoning in a mammalian KATP channel revealed by cryo-EM
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels composed of a pore-forming Kir6.2 potassium channel and a regulatory ABC transporter sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) regulate insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells to maintain glucose homeostasis.

Mechanochemistry Meets Catalysis: Metal Complexes for Greener Organic Transformations
Mechanochemistry is redefining metal catalysis by controlling catalyst formulation, speciation, and deployment. This Review shows how milling, LAG, RAM, and TSE enable rapid metal‐complex assembly, distinctive catalytic manifolds, and scalable synthesis beyond solution chemistry.

The unusual stoichiometry of ADP activation of the KATP channel
KATP channels, oligomers of 4 pore-forming Kir6.2 proteins and 4 sulfonylurea receptors (SUR), sense metabolism by monitoring both cytosolic ATP, which closes the channel by interacting with Kir6.2, and ADP, which opens it via SUR.

Treatment of type 2 diabetes: the stability of the effectiveness of hypoglycemic medications
This article is dedicated to the problem of glycaemic durability of drugs used in treatment of type 2 diabetes. The results of studies comparing durability of glycemic control as monotherapy or in combination of metformin with different drugs: dipeptidyl

Sulfonylurea Receptor 1 Contributes to the Astrocyte Swelling and Brain Edema in Acute Liver Failure
Astrocyte swelling (cytotoxic brain edema) is the major neurological complication of acute liver failure (ALF), a condition in which ammonia has been strongly implicated in its etiology.

Differential interaction of glimepiride and glibenclamide with the β-cell sulfonylurea receptor II [PDF]
Glimepiride is a novel sulfonylurea for the treatment of type II-diabetic patients exhibiting different receptor binding kinetics to β-cell membranes with 8–9-fold higher koff rate and 2.5–3-fold higher kon rate compared to glibenclamide (see ...

Dynamic duo: Kir6 and SUR in KATP channel structure and function
KATP channels are ligand-gated potassium channels that couple cellular energetics with membrane potential to regulate cell activity. Each channel is an eight subunit complex comprising four central pore-forming Kir6 inward rectifier potassium channel ...
