CAS 692-13-7
:Buformin
Description:
Buformin, with the CAS number 692-13-7, is an antidiabetic medication belonging to the biguanide class, which also includes metformin. It is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing hepatic glucose production. Buformin is characterized by its ability to lower blood glucose levels without causing significant hypoglycemia when used appropriately. The compound is typically administered orally and is known for its potential gastrointestinal side effects, which can include nausea and diarrhea. Unlike metformin, buformin has fallen out of favor in many regions due to safety concerns, particularly regarding lactic acidosis, a rare but serious complication. Chemically, buformin is a derivative of guanidine, and its structure includes a butyl group, which contributes to its pharmacological properties. While it has been studied for its efficacy in diabetes management, its use is less common today, with metformin being the preferred choice for treatment. Overall, buformin's characteristics highlight its role in glucose regulation and the importance of monitoring for adverse effects during its use.
