Summary

Pharmacodynamic studies were performed using tolbutamide, glibenclamide, glibornuride (Ro 6-4563) and glisoxepide (BS 4231). The four compounds were administered intravenously, and exact dose-response relations were established, calculating the ED 30 of the decrease in blood glucose in healthy volunteers. Accordingly, the dose corresponding to the ED 30 was given twice with a three hour interval to maturity-onset diabetics. Different dynamics of insulin response were observed after tolbutamide, glibornuride and glisoxepide on the one hand, and glibenclamide on the other. In contrast to other reports in the literature, an obvious uniformly weaker degree of insulin secretion was seen after each of the different sulphonylurea compounds when given repeatedly.

Résumé

Deux types d'expérimentations ont été réalisés: 1. Tolbutamide, glibenclamide, glibornuride (Ro 6-4563) et glisoxepide (BS 4231) ont été appliquées par voie intraveineuse aux sujets normaux pour déterminer les doses exactes, qui diminuent la concentration du glucose du sang de 30% (ED 30). 2. Ces doses (ED 30) ont été appliquées aux diabétiques âgés, deux fois dans un intervalle de trois heures. La deuxiéme injection de toutes les substances provoquait des concentrations d'insuline inférieures en comparaison avec les résultats initiaux. Ces effets sont contraires aux résultats des recherches précédentes d'autres auteurs. Les concentrations d'insuline provoquées par les substrances injectées sont indiquées et comparées.

Zusammenfassung

Vergleichende klinisch-experimentelle Untersuchungen wurden mit Tolbutamid, Glibenclamid, Glibornurid (Ro 6-4563) und Glisoxepid (BS 4231) durchgeführt. Zunächst wurden exakte Dosiswirkungsbeziehungen aufgestellt, die durch i.v. Gabe der vier Substanzen an Stoffwechselgesunden ermittelt wurden. Aufgrund d ieser Untersuchungen wurde die ED 30, bezogen auf den Blutzuckerabfall, errechnet. Daraufhin wurden die vier Sulfonylharnstoffe in der Dosierung der ED 30 Altersdiabetikern zweimal im Abstand von drei Stunden intravenös appliziert. Es zeigte sich ein deutlicher Unterschied in der Dynamik der Insulinsekretion nach Tolbutamid, Glibornurid und Glisoxepid einerseits und Glibenclamid andererseits. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Untersuchungsgruppen wurde bei allen vier Präparaten deutlich niedrigere Insulinspiegel nach der zweiten Stimulation festgestellt als nach der ersten Gabe.
