Basic Information

Metformin hydrochloride

Metformin hydrochloride is an oral biguanide pharmaceutical ingredient whose glucose-lowering action involves reduced glucagon release, enhanced glycogen formation, improved peripheral glucose uptake, and suppression of hepatic glucose production. It is used in authorized formulations for type 2 diabetes and in pharmaceutical research focused on insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, and the LKB1-AMPK signaling pathway.

product description

Effective Oral Hypoglycemic Agent: Metformin hydrochloride is a well-established biguanide oral hypoglycemic drug widely used for blood glucose management.


Promotes Glycogen Formation: It helps promote the conversion of glucose into glycogen, supporting better glucose utilization and storage.


Reduces Glucagon Secretion: The product works by reducing glucagon secretion from pancreatic A cells, which contributes to improved blood sugar control.


Non-Insulin Secretagogue Mechanism: A key advantage is that it does not stimulate pancreatic β-cells to secrete insulin, making its mechanism distinct and suitable for specific therapeutic applications.


Product Description of Metformin hydrochloride CAS#1115-70-4

Metformin hydrochloride is an oral biguanide hypoglycemic agent. Though less potent than phenformin, it can effectively regulate blood sugar.

It lowers blood glucose by inhibiting glucagon release and accelerating glycogen synthesis. It does not stimulate insulin secretion, hence ideal for non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients.


Product Application of Metformin hydrochloride CAS#1115-70-4

Metformin hydrochloride is an oral hypoglycemic agent widely used to manage type 2 diabetes. It effectively reduces fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels, and can lower HbA1c by 1% to 2%.


The primary mechanisms of action include

It boosts peripheral insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, facilitates glucose consumption in insulin-independent tissues, suppresses hepatic gluconeogenesis and intestinal glucose absorption.
Indicated for mild type 2 diabetes. It exerts hypoglycemic effects and improves insulin sensitivity via the LKB1-AMPK signaling pathway.
