Endo Pharm mechanisms/toxicity Flashcards
Lispro
rapid acting insulin
Insulin mechanism
M:Bind insulin receptor (tyrosine kinase act)
Liver - increase glucose stored as glycogen
mm - inc glycogen & protein synth; K+ uptake
Fat - aids TG storage
Insulin Toxicity
Hypoglycemia; hypersensitivity (rare)
Insulin Clinical use
DM I, DM II, gestational diabetes, life-threatening hyperkalemia, stress-induced hyperglycemia
Always injected
Aspart
Rapid acting insulin
Glulisine
rapid acting insuling
Regular Insulin
short acting; only one used IV
NPH
intermediate insulin
Glargine
long acting insulin
Detemir
long-acting insulin
Biguanide mechanism
(Metformin)
decrease GNG, increase Glycolysis, increase peripheral glucose uptake (insulin sensitivity)
Biguanide clinical use
(Metformin)
oral 1st line for type 2. Can be used if no islet fx
Biguanide tox
(Metformin)
GI upset, lactic acidosis (serious), Contraindicated in renal failure so CHECK creatinine!
Sulfonylurea mechanism
closes K+ channel in beta cell membrane –> depolarization –> insulin release via Ca2+ influx. Also increases protein C
Sulfonylurea Use
stimulate endogenous insulin in type 2 diabetes. Requires some islet fx
Sulfonylurea tox
1st gen: disulfiram-like
2nd gen: hypoglycemia
Tolbutamide, Chlorpropramide
1st gen sulfonylurea
