Does glimepiride alter the pharmacokinetics of sildenafil citrate in diabetic nephropathy animals: investigating mechanism of interaction by molecular modeling studies

Abstract: The present study evaluates possible drug interactions between glimepiride (GLIM) and sildenafil citrate (SIL) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic nephropathic (DN) animals and also postulates the possible mechanism of interaction based on molecular modeling studies. Diabetic nephropathy was induced by single dose of STZ (60 mg kg(-1), i.p.) and was confirmed by assessing blood and urine biochemical parameters 28 days after induction. Selected DN animals were used to explore the drug interaction between G… Show more

“…As warfarin is a probe drug of CYP2C9 and its pharmacokinetics is affected by CYP2C9 inhibitors and its genetic polymorphisms, we believe that even though glimepiride is metabolized by CYP2C9, it might not act as an inhibitor of CYP2C9. On the other hand, other studies revealed that glimepiride increased the plasma concentration of sildenafil, which is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 . Therefore, it is possible to speculate that glimepiride is an inhibitor of CYP3A4.…”

“…20,21 Evogliptin is mainly metabolized by CYP3A, whereas glimepiride might be a potential CYP3A4 inhibitor as evinced from the increased plasma concentration of sildenafil that is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 in rats. 8,22 Additionally, evogliptin did not significantly change the PK properties of glimepiride that is mainly metabolized by CYP2C9, ie, evogliptin did not induce or inhibit CYP enzymes (unpublished in-house data). In addition, evogliptin and glimepiride did not affect the formation of each major metabolite.…”

“…As previously mentioned, evogliptin is mainly metabolized by CYP3A, whereas glimepiride may be a CYP3A4 inhibitor, given that it increased the plasma concentration of sildenafil, mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 in rats. [5,16] , Additionally, it is believed that there is no significant change in PK properties of glimepiride, mainly metabolized by CYP2C9, as evogliptin does not induce nor inhibit CYP enzymes (unpublished inhouse data). This study actually revealed that the PK properties of glimepiride are not altered by evogliptin.…”
