Mechanism of Action A second-generation sulfonylurea that promotes release of insulin from beta cells of the pancreas and increases insulin sensitivity at peripheral sites. Therapeutic Effect Lowers blood glucose concentration. 

Recently, dendrimers, which are hyperbranched macromolecules, were found to be an appropriate support for polymer catalysts, because chiral sites can be designed at the peripheral region of the dendrimers (Scheme 5). Seebach synthesized chiral dendrimer 14, which has TADDOLs on its periphery and used an efficient chiral ligand in the Ti(IV)-promoted enantioselective alkylation [21]. We developed chiral hyperbranched hydrocarbon chain 15 which has six p-ami-no alcohols [22], It catalyzes the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. We also reported dendritic chiral catalysts with flexible carbosilane backbones [23]. 

Vascular smooth muscle tone is regulated by adrenoceptors consequently, catecholamines are important in controlling peripheral vascular resistance and venous capacitance. Alpha receptors increase arterial resistance, whereas 2 receptors promote smooth muscle relaxation. There are major differences in receptor types in the various vascular beds (Table 9-4). The skin vessels have predominantly receptors and constrict in the presence of epinephrine and norepinephrine, as do the splanchnic vessels. Vessels in skeletal muscle may constrict or dilate depending on whether ffor 13 receptors are activated. Consequently, the overall effects of a sympathomimetic drug on blood vessels depend on the relative activities of that drug at and 8receptors and the anatomic sites of the vessels affected. In addition, Di receptors promote vasodilation of renal, splanchnic, coronary, cerebral, and perhaps other resistance vessels. Activation of the Di receptors in the renal vasculature may play a major role in the natriuresis induced by pharmacologic administration of dopamine. 

For short-term feeding (less than 14 days) NICE (2006) recommends parenteral feeding via a peripheral venous catheter for those patients who do not need central access. A GTN patch can be applied above the peripheral venous catheter site to promote vasodilatation of the vein for those patients who have narrow veins. Some TPN is unsuitable for peripheral administration due to the nitrogen and glucose concentration these must go through a central venous catheter.
