tolbutamide and Craniopharyngioma

tolbutamide has been researched along with Craniopharyngioma in 1 studies

Tolbutamide: A sulphonylurea hypoglycemic agent with actions and uses similar to those of CHLORPROPAMIDE. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p290)
tolbutamide : An N-sulfonylurea that consists of 1-butylurea having a tosyl group attached at the 3-position.

Craniopharyngioma: A benign pituitary-region neoplasm that originates from Rathke's pouch. The two major histologic and clinical subtypes are adamantinous (or classical) craniopharyngioma and papillary craniopharyngioma. The adamantinous form presents in children and adolescents as an expanding cystic lesion in the pituitary region. The cystic cavity is filled with a black viscous substance and histologically the tumor is composed of adamantinomatous epithelium and areas of calcification and necrosis. Papillary craniopharyngiomas occur in adults, and histologically feature a squamous epithelium with papillations. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1998, Ch14, p50)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To elucidate the mechanism for growth following surgery in children with craniopharyngioma, serum somatomedin and prolactin levels, and plasma insulin (IRI) levels in response to oral glucose and intravenous tolbutamide, were determined in 5 and 8 children, respectively, at variable intervals following removal of the tumor."3.65Craniopharyngioma: the role of insulin in promoting postoperative growth. ( Costin, G; Daughaday, WH; Kogut, MD; Phillips, LS, 1976)
