Oral hypoglycemics 3 - slides 48 to 66 Flashcards
What are DPP4 inhibitors?
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
What is Sitagliptin?
Competitive DPP4 inhibitor
What is Saxagliptin?
DPP4 inhibitor that binds covalently
What is Linagliptin?
DPP4 inhibitor that is combined with metformin
What is Alogliptin?
DPP4 inhibitor combined with metformin and pioglitazone
What is Vildagliptin?
DPP4 inhibitor that binds covalently; requires further studies on renal insufficiency
How well do DPP4 inhibitors inhibit DPP4?
They all inhibit DPP4 by > 95%
How are DPP4 inhibitors administered?
Oral
What can DPP4 inhibitors be combined with?
Can be combined with merformin, pioglitazone, sulfonylureas, and insulin
Metabolism of DPP4 inhibitors?
Excreted unchanged in the urine
Adverse effects of DPP4 inhibitors?
Few consistent adverse effects
Can see diarrhea, headaches
Angioedema, anaphylaxis, skin rash
Pancreatitis (related to GLP-1)
