Q

What are DPP4 inhibitors?

A

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors
Peptidase is involved in the breakdown of GLP-1 and GIP as well as several peptides including peptide YY, neuropeptide Y, and growth hormone releasing hormone
Also involved in T-cell activation (CD26)
Serine protrease cleaves two N-terminal amino acids from peptides with proline or alanine in second position

Antibody formation

A

GLP-1 Yes

DPP4 No

23
Q

Differences between GLP-1 and DPP-4 inhibition:

Safety

A

GLP-1 Worry about pancreatitis

DPP4 Inhib worry about pancreatitis and allergic rxns (SJS)

24
Q

What are alpha-glucosidase inhibitors? What are some examples?

A

Competitive inhibitors of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase enzymes in intestinal brush border
They decrease postprandial glucose absorption

Examples: Acarbose, Miglitol

25
Q

Comparing Acarbose and Miglitol: Metabolism/excretion?

A

Acarbose is not absorbed, metabolized by intestinal bacteria

Miglitol has saturable absorption, excreted unhanged in kidney

26
Q

Comparing Acarbose and Miglitol: Dosing

A

Both take with first bite of each meal

27
Q

Comparing Acarbose and Miglitol: Monitoring?

A

Monitor liver function with Acarbose (can cause elevated liver enzymes)

28
Q

Adverse effects of Acarbose, Miglitol?

A

Abdominal pain (21%)
Diarrhea (33%) - glucose is food for bacteria, bacteria grow
Flatulance (77%) - undigested carbohydrates in colon

29
Q

Contraindications for Acarbose, Miglitol?

A

Inflammatory bowel disease
GI obstruction or ulceration
Chronic intestinal disease

30
Q

What is Pramlintide?

A

Islet amyloid polypeptide, secreted by Islet B cells
It binds to the amylin receptor in the CNS to decrease stomach emptying, decrease glucagon release, and increase satiety
Also lowers insulin requirement (can lower dose of insulin given), can lead to weight loss

31
Q

Pramlintide dosing

A

SubQ before meals, can be given with insulin but not mixed with insulin (?????)

32
Q

Indications for Pramlintide?

A

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes

33
Q

Adverse effects of pramlintide?

A

Nausea and hypoglycemia

34
Q

Pramlintide excretion?

A

Kidney

35
Q

What are SGLT2 inhibitors? Example?

A

Sodium-glucose transporter in the proximal tubule responsible for glucose reabsorption
SGLT1 is responsible for glucose uptake in the GI
Decreasing serum glucose, increasing weight loss

Canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin

36
Q

Cautions with Canagliflozin?

A

Approval requires post marketing CV outcomes trial, monitoring for pancreatitis, malignancy, hypersensitivity reactions, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and a bone safety study and 2 pediatric studies

37
Q

Adverse effects with Canagliflozin?

A
UTI's
Vaginal yeast infections
Headache, diarrhea
Diuresis
Hypoglycemia
Decreased intravascular volume leading to orthostatic hypotension
38
Q

Cautions with Dapagliflozin?

A

FDA denied approval in 2012 citing problems with increased bladder and breast cancer risks, UTI and liver damage. Then approved in 2014.

39
Q

Adverse effects of Dapagliflozin?

A

Contraction of vascular volume
Use caution in renal impairment, if you’re on loop diuretics, and in elderly
Urinary tract infections

40
Q

Adverse effects of Empagliflozin?

A

Contraction of vascular volume
Use caution in renal impairment, if you’re on loop diuretics, and in elderly
Hypoglycemia can occur with insulin and sulfonylureas
UTI’s
Vaginal yeast infections
Increased LDL

41
Q

What is Degludec?

A

Extended form of insulin
B29 I-glutamyl spacer to hexadecanedioic acid, B30 Thr missing

42 hour duration of action

Indicated for type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Limits nocturnal hypoglycemia

Available as injector pen
