REVIEW An antidiabetic drug in a class of medications known as sulfonylureas. The drug works by inhibiting the sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1), the regulatory subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP)[2] in pancreatic beta cells. This inhibition causes cell membrane depolarization opening voltage-dependent calcium channel. This results in an increase in intracellular calcium in the beta cell and subsequent stimulation of insulin release.
