Endo pharm Flashcards
Rapid acting insulins
Lispro, aspart, glulisine
Short acting insulin
Regular
Intermediate acting insulin
NPH
Long acting insulin
Detemir, glargine
Effects of insulin
Liver – increase glucose stored as glycogen
Muscle – increase glycogen, protein synth, K uptake
Fat – increase trig storage
Risks w/ insulin
Hypoglycemia, lipodystrophy
Biguanides example
Metformin
Clinical use of biguanides
T2DM (can cause some wt loss)
MOA of biguanides
Inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis and action of glucagon via mitochondrial glycerophosphate DHase –> less gluconeogenesis, increased glycolysis, increased peripheral glc uptake, increased insulin sensitivity
ADE w/ biguanides
GI upset, lactic acidosis (rare – but cautin in renal insufficiency)
Sulfonylureas 1st gen examples
Chlorpropamide, tolbutamide
Sulfonylureas 2nd gen examples
Glimepiride, glipizide, glyburide
Shortest half life of SU 2nd gen
Glipizide
Clinical use of SUs
Stimulate release of endogenous insulin in T2DM (req some islet fxn)
MOA of SUs
Close K channel in B cell membrane –> depolarization –> insulin release due to Ca influx
ADE in SUs
Hypoglycemia (worse in renal failure), wt gain
1st gen: disulfiram life rxn
2nd gen: hypoglycemia
Thiazolidinediones examples
Pioglitazone, rosiglitazone
Clinical use of TZDs
Monotherapy in T2DM or combined
Pro to TZDs
Safe in renal impairment
TZD MOA
Regulates PPAR-gamma –> Increased insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissue (upreg of Glut4)
ADE of TZDs
Wt gain (adipocyte maturation), edema, HF, increased risk of fractures
Meglitinides examples
Nateglinide, repaglinide
Clinical use of meglinitides
T2DM
MOA of meglinitides
Stimulate postprandial insulin release by binding K channels on B cell membranes (diff site from SUs)
ADEs of meglinities
Hypoglycemia (worse risk w/ renal failure), wt gain
GLP1 analog examples
Exanatide, liraglutide (SQ)
