Diabetes Therapy Flashcards
name the three sulfonyureas
glipizide
glyburide
glimepiride
name the two meglitinides
repagalinide
nateglinide
what is the MoA of sulfonyureas and meglitinides?
increase insulin secretion by binding the SUR channel and blocking K+ efflux and starting insuln secretion pathway
what can sulfonyureas and meglitinides cause?
hypoglycemia
what is drug class of glipizide, glyburide and glimepiride?
sulfonyureas
what is the main biguanide to know?
metformin
what is the MoA of metformin?
though to sensitize liver to glucose and deacrease gluconeogenesis
what are three SEs of metformin?
diarrhea, nausea and low B12
what is the main risk with metformin? what further increases this risk?
lactic acidosis…if patient has renal fialure
other thn glucose levels, what does metformin help with?
thought to decrease lipid levels and maybe even cause some weight loss
what molecule is it suspected that metformin activates in the liver?
AMPK
does metformin cause hypoglycemia?
NO
name the two thiazolidinediones
pioglitazone and rosiglitazone
what is the MoA of pioglitazone and rosiglitazone?
insulin sensitizer of muscle and adipose tissue
do pioglitazone and rosiglitazone cause hypoglycemi?
no
name the three SEs of pioglitazone and rosiglitazone?
edema and weight gain and fractures
what is main severe risks with pioglitazone and rosiglitazone?
CHF and liver toxicity
what cancer might there be increased risk with pioglitazone?
bladder cancer
what molecule on fat do pioglitazone and rosiglitazone activate? what does this do?
activate PPAR-gamma and this increases insulin sensitivity of the adipose cells and increases levels of adiponectin
name the two a glucosidase inhibitors
acarbose and miglitol
what is the MoA of miglitol and acarbose?
inhibit intestinal BB enzyme a glucosidases to delay absorption of glucose…lowering postprandial glucose
when do acarbose and miglitol have their main effects?
postprandial
what is the main SE with acarbose and miglitol?
bloating and Gi upset
what is the normal fxn of incretin GLP-1?
promotes satiety
stimulates glucose dependent insulin secretion
slows gastic emptying
inhibits glucagon release
name the two GLP-1 incretin analogues?
exenatide
liraglutide
