Abstract

Glyburide is under investigation for treatment of gestational diabetes. The previously identified metabolites of glyburide were 4-trans (M1) and 3-cis (M2) hydroxycyclohexyl glyburide. Recently, we identified four additional metabolites formed by human and baboon liver and placental microsomes. Baboon is a primate that can be used when investigations in human are impossible. The aim of this work was to determine the apparent Km of glyburide and the rates for formation of each metabolite (Vmax) by microsomal preparations from human and baboon placentas and livers.
