o-Tolylbiguanide

Description:

o-Tolylbiguanide, also known as phenformin, is a chemical compound characterized by its biguanide structure, which consists of two guanidine groups linked by a phenyl ring. It is primarily recognized for its use in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, although its use has been restricted in some regions due to safety concerns, particularly regarding lactic acidosis. The compound is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits a moderate melting point. Its molecular formula is C10H14N4, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 194.25 g/mol. o-Tolylbiguanide functions by enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing hepatic glucose production, making it effective in managing blood sugar levels. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential anti-cancer properties due to its ability to inhibit mitochondrial respiration. However, due to its side effects and the availability of safer alternatives, its clinical use has diminished over time. Proper handling and storage are essential to ensure safety and efficacy when working with this compound.
