T2DM pt 1 Flashcards
cause of T2DM
insulin resistance and reduced insulin secretion
drugs that increase insulin secretion
sulfonylureas
meglitinides
incretins
sulfonylurea drugs
tolbutamide
tolazamide
chlorpropamide
glyburide
glipizide
glimeperide
meglitinide drugs
nateglinide
repaglinide
mechanism of glucose-dependent insulin secretion in B-cells (high glucose)
- small amounts of glucose are transported into the cell via GLUT 2 transporters
- glucose is phosphorylated by glucokinase (now it cannot leave the cell)
- Glucose undergoes glycolysis and produces ATP
- High concentration of ATP causes a swing in equilibrium in favor of ATP
- ATP bind K+ channel blocking inflow
- the cell depolarizes
- Voltage gated Ca channel is activated allowing influx of Ca
- High concentration of Ca activate exocytosis of insulin
mechanism of glucose dependent insulin secretion in B-cells (low glucose)
- small amounts of glucose are transported into the cell via GLUT 2 transporters
- glucose is phosphorylated by glucokinase (now it cannot leave the cell)
- Glucose undergoes glycolysis and produces ATP
- Low concentration of ATP causes a swing in equilibrium in favor of ADP
- ADP bind K+ channel opening the channel allowing influx of Ca
- the cell hyper polarizes and stabilizes
- Voltage gated Ca channel is closed
- No exocytosis of insulin occurs at low Ca concentration
Mechanism of Sulfonylureas
- Bind and close KATP channel to block inflow of K
- the cell depolarizes
- Voltage gated Ca channel is activated allowing influx of Ca
- High concentration of Ca activate exocytosis of insulin
First generation sulfonylurea drugs
Tolbutamide (Orinase)
Tolazamide (Tolinase)
Chlorpropamide (Diabinese)
Tolbutamide potency/duration
1 / 6 to 12 hours
tolazamide potency/duration
5 / 12 to 14 hours
chlorpropamide potency/duration
6 / 24 to 72 hours
2nd generation sulfonylurea drugs
Glipizide (Glucotrol)
Glyburide or Glibenclamide (Diabeta, Glynase)
Glimepiride (Amaryl)
Glipizide potency/duration
100 / 12 to 24 hrs
glyburide potency/duration
150 / 24 hours
glimerpiride potency/duration
around 150 / 24 hours
Metiglinides “glinides”
Repaglinide (Prandin)
Nateglinide (Starlix)
Repaglinide mechanism
same mechanism as sulfonylureas
Repaglinide onset/duration
quick onset/short duration of action (t1/2 = 1 hr)
Repaglinide dosing
tablet taken before each meal (preprandial)
Nateglinide mechanism
non-sulfonylurea KATP channel blocker
very specific for KATP channels in the pancreas vs CV tissue
Nateglinide onset/duration
quick onset/short duration of action
Nateglinide advantage over repaglinide
nateglinide has a shorter t1/2 so there is less risk of hypoglycemia
Sulfonylurea drug interactions
- drugs which may enhance the action of sulfonylureas and increase the risk of hypoglycemia (salicylates, phenylbutazone, sulfonamides, clofibrate_
- drugs that have their own hypoglycemic effects which may be additive to the sulfonylurea (Alcohol: excessive acute intake, high dose salicylates)
- drugs which cause hyperglycemia which in turn oppose the action of sulfonylureas and insulin therapy (Oral contraceptives, epinephrine, thiazide diuretics, corticosteroids, thyroid)
drugs that decrease glucagon secretion
Incretins
Amylin
Drugs that decrease glucose reabsorption
SGLT2 inhibitors
Drugs that control appetite
Incretins
Amylin
