Toxicology of Sulfonylureas

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 119))

Abstract

Since 1958, Hoechst AG, Frankfurt, and Boehringer Mannheim GmbH have synthesized and pharmacologically tested a large number of sulfonylurea analogues which elicit hypoglycemic activity in the milligram range and in some cases at less than 0.1mg/kg body weight. Glibenclamide (HB419) was chosen from a group of the most potent compounds for joint research in 1964 and introduced onto the market as Daonil by Hoechst and as Euglucon by Boehringer (Hebold et al. 1969a, b; Mitsukami et al. 1969).
