4.4 Drug Indication

For treatment of NIDDM (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus) in conjunction with diet and exercise.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Tolbutamide, a first-generation sulfonylurea antidiabetic agent, is used with diet to lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus type II. Tolbutamide is twice as potent as the related second-generation agent glipizide. Tolbutamide lowers blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to secrete insulin and helping the body use insulin efficiently. The pancreas must be able to produce insulin for this drug to work.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Substances which lower blood glucose levels. (See all compounds classified as Hypoglycemic Agents.)

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Readily absorbed following oral administration. Tolbutamide is detectable in plasma 30-60 minutes following oral administration of a single dose with peak plasma concentrations occurring within 3-5 hours. Absorption is unaltered if taken with food but is increased with high pH.


Route of Elimination

Unchanged drug and metabolites are eliminated in the urine and feces. Approximately 75-85% of a single orally administered dose is excreted in the urine principally as the 1-butyl-3-p-carboxyphenylsulfonylurea within 24 hours.


AFTER ORAL ADMIN, SULFONYLUREAS ARE RAPIDLY ABSORBED. /SULFONYLUREAS/

5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Metabolized in the liver principally via oxidation of the p-methyl group producing the carboxyl metabolite, 1-butyl-3-p-carboxyphenylsulfonylurea. May also be metabolized to hydroxytolbutamide. Tolbutamide does not undergo acetylation like antibacterial sulfonamides as it does not have a p-amino group.


...MAJOR TOLBUTAMIDE METAB IN MAN HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS 1-BUTYL-3-P-CARBOXYPHENYLSULFONYLUREA... 1-BUTYL-3-P-HYDROXYMETHYLPHENYLSULFONYLUREA IS ALSO FORMED IN SMALL AMT.

IN RAT, MAJOR URINARY METAB, 1-BUTYL-3-P-HYDROXYMETHYLPHENYLSULFONYLUREA COMPRISED 75% OF DOSE, BUT SMALL AMT OF 1-BUTYL-3-P-CARBOXYPHENYLSULFONYLUREA & P-TOLYLSULFONYLUREA, COMPRISING 5% OF DOSE, WERE ALSO PRESENT.

ALTHOUGH 1-BUTYL-3-P-HYDROXYMETHYLPHENYLSULFONYLUREA HAS BEEN REPORTED AS PRINCIPAL METAB IN CAT.../IT IS CLAIMED/ THAT CAT METABOLIZES TOLBUTAMIDE IN SAME WAY AS DOG. .../IT HAS BEEN SHOWN/ THAT TOLBUTAMIDE IS TRANSFORMED INTO 1-BUTYL-3-P-CARBOXYPHENYLSULFONYLUREA IN GUINEA PIGS & RABBITS.

IN CONTRAST TO RATS, RABBITS & MAN, DOGS METABOLIZE TOLBUTAMIDE...INTO P-TOLYLSULFONYLUREA & P-TOLYLSULFONAMIDE BY MECHANISM INVOLVING HYDROLYSIS.

5.7 Biological Half-Life

Approximately 7 hours with interindividual variations ranging from 4-25 hours. Tolbutamide has the shortest duration of action, 6-12 hours, of the antidiabetic sulfonylureas.

5.8 Mechanism of Action

Sulfonylureas lower blood glucose in patients with NIDDM by directly stimulating the acute release of insulin from functioning beta cells of pancreatic islet tissue by an unknown process that involves a sulfonylurea receptor (receptor 1) on the beta cell. Sulfonylureas inhibit the ATP-potassium channels on the beta cell membrane and potassium efflux, which results in depolarization and calcium influx, calcium-calmodulin binding, kinase activation, and release of insulin-containing granules by exocytosis, an effect similar to that of glucose.


SULFONYLUREAS STIMULATE ISLET TISSUE TO SECRETE INSULIN. ... SULFONYLUREAS CAUSE DEGRANULATION OF BETA CELLS, A PHENOMENON ASSOC WITH INCR RATE OF SECRETION OF INSULIN. /SULFONYLUREAS/

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 1520


ALTHOUGH MOLECULAR MECHANISM...NOT UNDERSTOOD, SEVERAL PERTINENT OBSERVATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE. ...TOLBUTAMIDE IS RESTRICTED IN ITS ACTION TO EXTRACELLULAR SPACE & DOES NOT NEED TO ENTER BETA CELL. INVOKED RELEASE OF INSULIN IS IMMEDIATE & INTIMATELY RELATED TO ACTION OF GLUCOSE...MAY SENSITIZE CELL TO NORMAL SECRETAGOGUE.

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 1520


Sulfonylureas are now...thought to act by a number of different mechanisms. 1. ...produce a depolarization of the pancreatic islet beta cell membrane potassium ion permeability. This results in a release of preformed insulin into the circulation and occurs mostly in non-insulin dependent diabetics. 2. ...reduce basal glucose output from the liver... 3. increase insulin receptor binding... 4. ...increasing intracellular levels of AMP... 5. increase insulin secretion by suppressing the release of glucagon and somatostatin from alpha and delta pancreatic cells. /Sulfonylureas/
