Gliclazide is an oral antidiabetic agent from the sulfonylurea class. It is primarily used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control, either as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic drugs. It acts by stimulating insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells and may reduce the risk of microvascular complications associated with diabetes.
Gliclazide works by binding to sulfonylurea receptors (SUR1) on pancreatic β-cells, which closes the ATP-sensitive potassium channels. This causes the cell membrane to depolarize, opening calcium channels and increasing the level of calcium inside the cells. The higher intracellular calcium then triggers the release of insulin, which helps lower blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
