Oral Hypoglycemics Flashcards
What are the 3 possible modes of actions for oral hypoglycemics?
5 oral hypoglycemic agents
Sulfonyl
Overview
The name is derived from what 2 structural features?
Why are sulfonylureas weak acids?
Features of sulfonlyl
Like other weak acids they are?
How many generations of them?
- Weak acids protein bound
- 1,2,3
- 1 and 2 are similar 3 is very different
Sulf MOA
4 first gen Sulfonylureas
Tolbutamide (gen?)
What metabolite is formed?
What does this mean for its activity?
Tolazamide (Gen?)
Metabolism?
Metablized Tolazamide vs. Tolbutamide
Which one has the longer DOA and why?
Chlopropamide (gen?)
What block metabolism of the carboxylic acid?
What does this do?
What does the n-propyl chain of chlorpropamide do?
So what does this mean for the drug?
Acetohexamide (gen)
What group is rapidly reduced?
Acetohexamide metabolite and DOA
What first generation sulf provides the core for second gen?
Acetohexamide
2nd gen
What features do they all share?
Are second generations more potent than first?
These 2nd gen agents undergo similar biotranformations but its important to note that the metabolites?
Second gen sulfs 2
Glipizide and Glyburide
Glipizide
Structural featurs and DOA
3 things we need to know
Glyburide Structural features and DOA
SAR of 1st and second gen
What must be on the urea nitrogen?
SAR 1st and 2nd
Where must substitution be present?
