Abstract

Many oral anti-hyperglycemic agents have been used for treatment of Type II diabetes (TY2D), yet Metformin ,the only compound remained of biguanide derivates, continued to be used in this treatment. Its mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics are unique and significant. It has low side effects and no adverse incidences with healthy heart and kidney T2D, compared with its family group members. The previous properties made metformin tops the oral anti hyperglycemic agents list recommended from FDA in TY2D therapy. In this review paper, we aimed to point at bi-guanide development through time as glucose lowering agents, and show the magnificent characteristics of dimethylbiguanide; metformin.
