• Description: 1-Methylbiguanide hydrochloride is a pharmaceutical drug that has been shown to be an antidiabetic agent. It is a white crystalline powder with a melting point of about 180°C and a solubility in water of about 1 g/L. 1-Methylbiguanide hydrochloride is used for treating diabetes mellitus type 2, which is caused by insulin resistance. The drug works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the rate at which glucose enters cells. Studies have shown that 1-methylbiguanide hydrochloride has low biodegradability, but it can be removed from wastewater using an activated carbon column or hydrophilic interaction chromatography. 1-Methylbiguanide hyrdochloride has been shown to be safe for humans and may not cause side effects in people with kidney disease who take it as prescribed. This drug also does not interact with other medications, such as warfarin
