ILE I U2 PO Flashcards
glipizide, glyburide and glimepiride are what types of drugs? Which generations are these?
Sulfonylureas, 2nd and 3rd gen
Sulfonylurea MoA on pancreas
Inhibit efflux of K from beta cells through SUR receptor, which causes Ca channels to open, releasing Ca, which binds to calmodulin, and releases granules containing insulin
Name of the K-ATP channel in beta cells
Kir6.2
Glipizide in excretion
85% renal - patients MUST have renal function!
Glyburide in excretion
50:50 renal:fecal
When should you use a sulfonylurea?
Patients >40, duration of disease <5 years, no prior treatment with insulin
Combination sulfonylurea therapy
Okay with other anti diabetics, but cannot be used with meglitinides

Sulfonylurea ADRs
- Weight GAIN
2. Hypoglycemia
Sulfonylurea considerations
- Cannot use with meglitinides
- Cannot use with gestational diabetes
- Cannot use with renal failure patients
Glipizide brand
Glucotrol
Glyburide brand
Glycron, Diabeta
Sulfonylurea advantages over other drugs
Extensive experience, decreases microvascular risk
Beta blockers and sulfonylureas
these drugs block the counter-regulatory response that prevents a dangerous hypo or–if it cannot prevent the hypo–at least gives the victim some warning that one is coming by causing shakes and pounding pulse.
Repaglinide and nateglinide are what kinds of drugs?
Meglitinides
Repaglinide brand
Prandin
Nateglinide brand
Starlix
Meglitinide MoA
Similar to sulfonylurea MoA, but different site. Block ATP-K channels, Ca influx induces insulin secretion.
Stimulate pancreatic insulin secretion: decrease glucose rise after a meal, however insulin is glucose dependent and thus diminishes at low blood glucose concentrations.
Meglitinide MoA is dependent on
functional pancreatic islet cells
Meglitinide vs suflonylurea: which has a faster “on/off” effect, and is more tissue selective?
Meglitinides. Therefore, these are less effective at a lower state of hypoglycemia
Meglitinide ADRs
- hypoglycemia (less than 8% A1C), less than SU due to glucose sensitive release of insulin
- slight weight GAIN
- Headache.
- GI disturbances.
Meglitinide excretion
- Renal
2. Bile
When to use meglitinides
patients that have postpranadial hyperglycemia and are close to glycemic goals.
Meglitinide combination therapies:
- Effective with metformin
- Can be used with other drugs
- Can NOT be used with SUs
Replaglinide/Metformin brand
PrandiMet
Additional meglitinide considerations
- Must be taken 30 min before meal
- Causes hypoglycemia in patients less than 8% A1C
- More flexible dosing and less weight gain than SU
Repaglinide and erythromycin
Causes increased serum concentrations
Drugs that ____ decrease effect of repaglinide
induce the CYP 3A4 (i.e. rifampin, phenytoin, barbiturates, carbamazepine)
Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone are what type of drugs?
TZDs (Thiazolidinediones)
Rosiglitazone brand
Avandia
Pioglitazone brand
Actos
TZD onset
4-6 weeks
TZD target tissues
adipose, some skeletal/liver
TZD MoA
By acting on PPAR-gamma (which regulates insulin responsive genes), they increase glucose and fatty acid uptake into adipose tissue and act on liver to decrease hepatic glucose production.
IMPROVED INSULIN SENSITIVITY
TZDs lower A1C by
.5-1.5%
Rosiglitazone/Metformin brand
Avandamet
Pioglitazone/Metformin brand
Actoplus Met
Rosiglitazone/Glimepiride brand
Avandaryl
Pioglitazone/Glimepiride brand
DuetAct
TZD compatibility with other drugs
Can be used with all other antidiabetic drugs!
TZD ADRs
- Can cause MI in patients with preexisting cardiovascular conditions
Advantages of TZDs
- Less hypoglycemia
- durable
- Can be used with other anti diabetic meds
- decreases triglycerides
- Positive effect on lipid profiles!
Disadvantages of TZDs
- Expensive
- Weight gain
- Edema
- Bone fractures
- Increased LDL
- MI possibility (rosi)
- Bladder cancer (pio)
Which TZD was removed from the market? Why?
Rosiglitazone, because it causes MI in patients with a history of CVD.
What kind of drugs are metformin, phenformin and buformin?
biguanide
metformin brand
glucophage
Why was phenformin removed from the market?
it caused lactic acidosis
GIP synthesized from
K cells small intestines
GLP-1 synthesized from
L cells of bowel/colon
GLP-1 function
increased insulin secretion
increase uptake of glucose
decreased gastric emptying
increased satiety
GIP function
induces insulin secretion
limitation of GIP and GLP-1
quick degradation by DPP4
DPP4 function
degrades GIP and GLP4
GIP degradation time
7.3 min
GLP-4 degradation time
2 min
Exenatide found in
Gila monster saliva
Exenatide MoA
Exenatide enhances insulin secretion in aglucose-dependent manner, suppressing inappropriately high postprandial glucagon secretion resulting in decreased hepatic glucose production. It increases satiety, slows gastric emptying, and promotes weight loss.
GLP-1 agonists are dependent on
the presence of elevated circulating glucose levels.
GLP-1 vs exenatide; which is more potent?
exenatide
exenatide with metformin
Fine
exenatide with SU
reduce the SU dose to reduce risk of hypoglycemia
Liraglutide is a
GLP-1 A
Exenatide is
GLP-1 A
How does dosing a GLP-1 A differ from dosing a SU?
Give SU after, give GLP-1 A before meals
Why give GLP-1 A before a meal?
Dependent on increase of glucose to work
