Q

Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitor

MoA

A
  • Hydrolyses Oligosaccharides -> smaller Monosacharides
    • which are absorbed in the GI TRACT
  • Delay Digestion of Ingested Carbs
    • Reducing POSTPRANDIAL Blood Glucose conc.
  • ​Glucose levels then rise more SLOWLY
    • LESS insulin response is required
  • Do not stimulate Insulin release
    • ​so they do not result in hypoglycemia

Q

Insulin Analog Creation

What do we make ADJUSTMENTS TO?

A
  • We make adjustments to the C-Terminus of the B-Chain
    • ​do not change Biological activity or immunogenicity
    • Influence the rate of dimer formation & or Seperation
      • ​​​All produced by RECOMBINANT DNA methods
17
Q

wut dis is

A

SGLT2 INHIBITOR
Sodium-Glucose Cotransport Inhibitors

C-D-E-E - GLIFLOZIN

CANA / DAPA / EMPA / ERTU

Invokana / Farxiga / Jardiance / Steglatro

looks like the Alpha Glucosidase inhibitor but with MORE

18
Q

TZDs

Side Effects + DI’s

Pioglitazone + Rosiglitazone

A
  • *HEPATIC TOXICITY**
  • similar to APAP*

Extensive P450 metabolism –>
metabolites excreted in URINE

PIOGLITAZONE decreases the
level of ESTROGEN oral contraceptives

19
Q

Long-Acting Insulin Products

Detemir

Glargine

Degludec

(DDG)

20
Q

wut dis is

A

TZDs

Rosiglitazone

Pioglitazone

TZD = THI-AZOLE

azole = Nitrogen 5 group + thi = sulfur too

21
Q

Meglitinides

Side Effects / DI’s

Repaglinide + Nateglinide

A

LESS hypoGlycemia than sulfonylureas

Short acting / immediately taken before meals

metabolized by CYP3A4

Nateglinide is CYP3A4 + CYP2C9, less drug interactions

22
Q

General changes on

Rapid Acting Insulin Analogs

A

(Basal insulin)

A

GG-DD, c-terminus of B chain

Increased Self-Aggregation in SC tissue

Reversible Albumin Binding

delayed onset + prolonged duration of action

24
Q

Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors

MoA + SAR

Acarbose + Miglitol + Voglibase

A

Alpha glucosidase normally hydrolyses oligosaccharides –> monosaccharides​ which get absorbed from the GI tract

  • DELAY* Digestion of CARBOHYDRATES
  • REDUCING* PostPandial Blood Glucose (PPG)

SPREADS OUT the release of Glucose –> less insulin response required

DO NOT stimulate insulin release, no hypoglycemia
