Abstract :

Background and Objectives:The risk of hypoglycemia was reported with ACE inhibitors in patients who are taking insulin or other hypoglycemic agents. But there are no reports available about the drug-drug interaction between perindopril and glimepiride. Hence, the present study was planned to study the influence of single and repeated dose treatment of perindopril on the hypoglycemic and antidiabetic effect of glimepiride in normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic albino rats.
Methods: 14 groups of normal albino rats (Group I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII and XIV) (n=6) were selected. At “0” hour blood samples were collected from tail vein then groups I, II, III, IV, V and VI were administered with vehicle, glimepiride 10 mg/kg, perindopril 2.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg p.o respectively. After drug treatment at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0 and 30.0 h blood samples were collected and analyzed for serum glucose by GOD/POD method. Similarly blood samples were collected from groups VII, VIII, IX and X and were administered with single doses of perindopril 2.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg, p.o respectively followed by single dose of glimepiride 10 mg/kg, p.o 30 min later. Groups XI, XII, XIII and XIV were administered with different doses of perindopril 2.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg p.o for 7 days and on 8th day 30 min after administration of last dose of perindopril a single dose of glimepiride 10 mg/kg was administered orally. After drug treatment at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0 and 30.0 h blood samples were collected and analyzed for serum glucose levels as mentioned above. Similarly the experiments were conducted in diabetic rats following the above procedure and serum glucose levels were analyzed as mentioned earlier.
Results: Perindopril significantly altered the peak effect and enhanced the duration of hypoglycemic activity but not altered onset of action of glimepiride in both normal and diabetic rats.
Interpretation and Conclusion: The study suggests that, the dose and frequency of glimepiride must be readjusted when it is to be administered concomitantly with antihypertensive drug perindopril in hypertension and diabetic conditions to avoid severe hypoglycemia due to perindopril.
Key words: Glimepiride, Perindopril, hypoglycemic, antidiabetic, drug- drug interaction.
