Abstract

The effect of oral hypoglycaemic drugs (derived from sulphonylurea) on urease activity in the quantitative determination of urea has been studied. These compounds have been found to produce a competitive inhibition of enzyme activity with respect to substrate. Possible interference of these antidiabetic agents upon urea analysis is discussed.
