摘要
The targets for biguanide action are biological membranes in a rather unspecific manner. From their molecular mechanism of interaction with membranes a large multiplicity of possible consequences is self-evident, which does not necessarily imply that biguanides or related compounds have to possess blood sugar lowering activity. The hypoglycemic effect appears as an accident rather than as a principle of drug action. This agrees with the fact that only a few compounds among biguanides are useful blood sugar lowering agents; pronounced species differences exist, and many biguanides are without effects on blood sugar. The side-effects of higher concentrations of biguanide and toxicity may equally well be explained on the basis of their membrane-modifying capability. Rat liver mitochondria were studied.
