- DB01119
- Background
Diazoxide is a non-diuretic benzothiadiazine derivative that activates ATP-sensitive potassium channels.5,7 It is chemically related to thiazide diuretics but does not inhibit carbonic anhydrase and does not have chloriuretic or natriuretic activity.1 Diazoxide is commonly used in the treatment of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycemia due to its ability to inhibit insulin release.5 Diazoxide also exhibits hypotensive activity and reduces arteriolar smooth muscle and vascular resistance.1 When administered intravenously, diazoxide can be used to treat hypertensive emergencies;9 however, this specific form of diazoxide is no longer available in the US. Diazoxide is usually well tolerated, and some of its more common side effects include fluid retention and electrolyte disturbances. In September 2015, the FDA issued a safety alert regarding post-marketing reports of pulmonary hypertension occurring in infants and neonates.5,7

Pharmacology
- Indication
Oral diazoxide is indicated to manage hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinism associated with conditions such as inoperable islet cell adenoma or carcinoma, and extrapancreatic malignancy in adults, or leucine sensitivity, islet cell hyperplasia, nesidioblastosis, extrapancreatic malignancy, islet cell adenoma, and adenomatosis in infants and children. In infants and children oral diazoxide may be used preoperatively as a temporary measure, and postoperatively, if hypoglycemia persists.7 Diazoxide may also be used parentally or intravenously to treat hypertensive emergencies.4,9

Diazoxide is a potassium channel activator that enhances cell membrane permeability to potassium ions. By promoting a vasodilatory effect on the smooth muscle in peripheral arterioles, diazoxide lowers blood pressure and peripheral vascular resistance. Diazoxide-induced decreases in blood pressure lead to reflex increases in heart rate and cardiac output.9 The oral administration of diazoxide increases blood glucose in a dose-dependent manner. In patients with normal renal function, this effect is observed within an hour and lasts no more than eight hours. The hypotensive effects of diazoxide are usually not detected when administered orally.7
Diazoxide administered intravenously may lead to sodium and water retention, severe hypotension, transient myocardial or cerebral ischaemia and gastrointestinal upsets such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal discomfort.9 Diazoxide administered orally may cause ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, especially in patients with other concurrent conditions.7 The use of intravenous or oral diazoxide may lead to the development of pulmonary hypertension in infants and neonates.7,9
- Mechanism of action
Diazoxide is a nondiuretic benzothiadiazine derivative used for the management of symptomatic hypoglycemia. By binding to the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) channel on the membrane of pancreatic beta‐cells, diazoxide promotes a potassium efflux from beta-cells. This hyperpolarizes the cell membrane and prevents the influx of calcium to the pancreatic beta‐cells. Without a sufficient amount of calcium in the cell, insulin release is inhibited.5 Therefore, the use of diazoxide produces an increase in glucose levels.7 Diazoxide is chemically related to thiazide diuretics but does not inhibit carbonic anhydrase and does not have chloriuretic or natriuretic activity.1 It also exhibits hypotensive activity by reducing arteriolar smooth muscle and vascular resistance.1 The mechanism of action of its hypotensive effect has not been fully elucidated; however, it is possible that it involves the antagonism of calcium.9
Target Actions Organism AATP-sensitive inward rectifier potassium channel 11 inducerHumans UMitochondrial ATP synthase F1 domain inhibitorHumans - Absorption
Diazoxide is readily absorbed following oral administration; however, its absorption depends on the dissolution rate of the dosage form.3 Diazoxide has a bioavailability of 91%.2
- Volume of distribution
The apparent volume of distribution of diazoxide in adults with normal renal function is 13 L (21% of body weight), while in children with normal renal function, it is 2 L (33% of body weight).3 Other sources show that the volume of distribution of diazoxide is 0.21 L/kg.2
- Protein binding
The protein binding of diazoxide in normal adults can range from 77% to 94%, depending on the administered dose. In patients with renal failure, protein binding ranges between 77% and 87%. This reduction can be related to the lower levels of albumin in patients with renal failure.3
- Metabolism
Diazoxide is metabolized in the liver through oxidation of the 3-methyl group, producing hydroxymethyl (MI) and carboxy (M2) derivatives.3,6 The MI derivatives undergo subsequent sulphate conjugation. It is estimated that, in subjects with normal renal function, 54-60% of diazoxide is metabolized. Diazoxide metabolites are inactive and do not contribute to its cardiovascular activity. Additionally, diazoxide metabolites do not displace diazoxide from protein binding sites.3
- Route of elimination
Diazoxide and its metabolites are mainly eliminated through urine. Since diazoxide is extensively protein-bond, it has a slow excretion and a prolonged half-life. In subjects with normal renal function, the urinary excretion rates of diazoxide peak on the first day after oral administration.3
- Half-life
Following oral administration, the plasma half-life of diazoxide varies from 9.5 to 24 hours in children with normal renal function and from 20 to 72 hours in adults with normal renal function.3
- Clearance
In subjects with normal renal function given 300 mg of diazoxide intravenously, renal clearance was 4 ml/min.3 Other sources show that the clearance of diazoxide is 0.06 ml/min/kg.2

The oral LD50 of diazoxide in rats and mice are 980 mg/kg and 444 mg/kg, respectively.8 In the mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, pig, and monkey, the oral administration of diazoxide leads to a rapid and transient rise in blood glucose levels. In rats given 400 mg/kg of diazoxide orally during subacute toxicity studies, growth retardation, edema, increases in liver and kidney weights, and adrenal hypertrophy were observed. Rats given doses up to 1080 mg/kg for three months developed hyperglycemia, an increase in liver weight and an increase in mortality.7 Toxicity is increased when diazoxide was administered at high dosages concomitantly with either chlorothiazide to rats or trichlormethiazide to dogs. Reproduction and teratology studies in different animal species suggest that diazoxide may interfere with normal fetal development, possibly due to the alteration of glucose metabolism.7
