ENDOCRINE DRUGS - Anti-Diabetic Agents Flashcards
Gold standard to be taken for diabetes
insulin
Drugs taken when insulin is not yet required; helps in the utilization of insulin innately produced by the body
anti-glycemic agents
Complex disease characterized by uncontrolled glucose homeostasis associated with several minor and major complications
diabetes
3 cardinal signs of diabetes
polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia
Cardinal sign of diabetes associated with excessive thirst
polydipsia
Cardinal sign of diabetes associated with excessive urination
polyuria
Cardinal sign of diabetes associated with excessive hunger
polyphagia
Type of diabetes which has a juvenile onset and is caused by absence or insufficiency of insulin produced
diabetes mellitus type 1
Type of diabetes which commonly has an adult-onset and is mainly caused by the body being desensitized to insulin despite the body’s normal production
diabetes mellitus type 2
Glucose intolerance from pregnancy
gestational diabetes
Type of diabetes which results from non-usual causes or from other disease present in the patient
secondary diabetes mellitus
Diabetes therapy is directed at maintaining _____
euglycemic states (normal blood sugar)
An endocrine peptide drug which is composed of 51 amino acids with 2 chains linked by a disulfide bond
insulin
Cells that produce insulin
beta cell of the pancreas
MOA: transports glucose to the muscles and adipose tissue with the release of glucose transporters (GLUT 4)
insulin
SAR: N and C terminals of Chain A and B are essential for insulin receptor binding
insulin
Insulin is produced via proteolytic modification of _______ which is formed by the removal of 24-amino acid from _______.
proinsulin, preproinsulin
T/F
The inactive form of insulin is prone to degradation.
F - only its active form is prone to degradation

Agents that stimulate the release of insulin from pancreas
insulin secretagogues
Drug agents under insulin secretagogues
sulfonylureases and meglitinides
Secondary line of treatment for diabetes
sulfonylureases
MOA: Binds to sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) at ATP-sensitive K-channels and opens voltage-gated calcium leading to increased intracellular Ca and exocytotic release of insulin
sulfonylureases
SAR: small lipophilic R1, alkyl or aryl substituent R2, high dosing (low potency), short DOA, long plasma T1/2, high chance for ADR (hypoglycemia)
*include which generation
sulfonylureases - 1st generation
SAR: large p-(β-arylcarboxyamidoethyl) group at R1, high potency (low dosing), long DOA, rapid onset, short plasma T1/2, minimal ADR
*include which generation
sulfonylureases - 2nd generation
MOA: similar to sulfonylureases; Repaglinide binds to SUR1, SUR2A and SUR2B leading to extrapancreatic effects
meglitinides
Extrapancreatic effect of Repaglinide
cardiac smooth muscle relaxation
SAR: benzoic acid derivative of non-sulfonylurea moiety of glyburide/glibenclamide
meglitinides
Does repaglinide produce hyperinsulinemia
no
