Brief Summary: In this study, investigators hypothesized that the plasma concentration of metformin and its glucose-lowering action would be affected by omeprazole, probably by altering the expression or function of OCTs in the liver, its primary target organ, as well as in the kidney.
Detailed Description: Metformin is the most widely used drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This insulin-sensitizing agent has well known beneficial effects not only on glycemic control, but also on the cardiovascular system. The antihyperglycemic effect of metformin is mainly based on suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis by activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which suppresses glucagon-stimulated glucose production and causes an increase in glucose uptake in muscle and in hepatic cells. Metformin is actively transported across membranes. The organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1) is responsible for uptake of metformin in hepatocytes, which is an essential step in reducing hepatic glucose production. , which is closely associated with its pharmacological action/adverse reactions.

However, metformin alone is thought to be insufficient for achieving good metabolic control. Thus, treatment in addition to metformin is often required. Sitagliptin attenuates metformin-mediated AMPK phosphorylation through inhibition of organic cation transporters PPIs are frequently used in metformin-treated patients with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly seen in patients with type 2 diabetes and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the drugs of best choice in treatment of GERD. These data support the hypothesis that proton pump inhibitors can be used to treat type II diabetes. Moreover, PPIs itself appears to has significant glucose-lowering effects in an animal model of type 2 diabetes regardless of whether metformin is administered concurrently.

A recent in-vitro study found that PPI inhibit metformin uptake by organic cation transporters (OCTs). This drug-drug interaction the clinical has the potential relevance of consequences on metformin disposition and/or efficacy. Since there is a possibility for the combined use of metformin and omeprazole in chronic diabetics, the study is planned to investigate the effect of nicorandil on the activity of gliclazide in normal and diabetic rats to evaluate effectiveness of the combination.

The study is planned to find the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of metformin in the presence of omeprazole in healthy subjects and to evaluate the mechanisms of the interaction if occurs.
