Glimepiride, an antidiabetic drug, lowers blood sugar levels by stimulating the pancreas to produce insulin and helping the body use insulin more efficiently Glimepiride binds to the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1) subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) in pancreatic beta cells. This binding blocks the channel, which depolarizes the plasma membrane.
