The main
purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of enalapril on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of chlorpropamide in rats .
Alloxan-induced diabetic model in rats has been used in this study. Diabetes was induced in rats by administering a single dose
of intraperitoneal (i. p) injection of alloxan (150mg/kg.), then chlorpropamide and enalapril were administered orally for 7d ays.
The pharmacokinetic parameters like t1/2, AUC, clearance, MRT, Tmax and Cmax of chlorpropamide, with and without
combination of enalapril treatment were determined. The blood glucose levels were estimated on using Glucose Oxidase -
Peroxidase (GOD-POD) method, and serum creatinine levels (Alkaline picrate method) were estimated. Chlorpropamide
treatment has shown hypoglycemic and renal impairment activity after oral administration. The increase in chlorpropamide
concentration might be due to its interaction with enalapril. Chlorpropamide treatment in combination with enalapril has shown
significant decrease in blood glucose levels when compared to rats treated with chlorpropamide alone and chlorpropamide itself
shows renal insufficiency, without combination of enalapril. The results indicated that enalapril has influence on
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of chlorpropamide</Abstract><Email>jijiyaraj@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>5</volume><issue>3</issue><year>2014</year><keyword>Chlorpropamide,Enalapril,Blood glucose, Serum creatinine</keyword><AUTHORS>L.Raju,CH.
