Mechanism of Glimepiride and Metformin

Metformin works by reducing glucose produced by the liver. It inhibits mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I which affects the cell’s energy balance. It also improves insulin sensitivity particularly in muscle and adipose tissues by increasing glucose utilization. Glimepride stimulates the release of pre-formed insulin from the functional beta cells in the pancreas. It binds to certain sulfonylurea receptors(SUR1) and blocks the ATP-sensitive potassium channels which leads to depolarization of cell membranes. Then an increase in calcium influx occurs when depolarization of the membrane opens voltage-sensitive calcium channels.
