METFORMIN
|
biguanide - lowers blood glucose by
1. acting on liver to decrease glucose production 2. increasing glucose uptake (insulin sensitivity!!!) better than sulfonylureas and meglitinides b/c it is insulin-sparing drug (does not have their side effects of hypoglycemia or weight gain either) S/E 1. *lactic acidosis* - board question alert. the liver doesnt do its job of taking up lactate as well ** 2. diarrhea 3. abdominal discomfort |
|

s/E: flatulance and bloating (do bacteria eat the carbs?) |
|
|
REGULAR INSULIN
|
hexameric with zinc
(hexamer favored over monomer) must take 45 minutes before eating works for 4-8 hours. too long to optimally control postprandial hyperglycemia but too short for once/ day |
|
|
LYSPRO INSULIN
|
rapid acting insulin
AA rearrangement favors monomer over hexamer |
|
|
insulin detemir
|
long acting insulin (1/day)
effects for 24 hours has a fatty acyl group attached to it, so it associates with albumin. it also self associates well. bound to albumin, it is not filtered by kidney or broken down by proteases as fast few S/E from binding to albumin b/c there are 100 million albumin binding sites and much less detemir so the acyl group makes it long lasting |
|
|
glulisine
|
rapid acting insulin
AA rearrangement favors monomer over hexamer |
|
|
ULTRALENTE INSULIN
|
long acting. similar to NPH (int) but lasts even longer?

|
|
GLARGINE
|
long acting insulin (1/day)
has 2 Arg residues kept in an acid buffer 98% precipitates in physiologic pH of 7.4 b/c it has an isolectric point (pKa) of around 7.4. normal insulin has a pKa of 5.5. the arginines raise this to 7.4 it releases slowly because of this pH effect probs: stings when injected (acid buffer) CANNOT be MIXED with regular insulin b/c it will precipitate |
|
|
exubera
|
inhaled insulin
rapid acting low bioavailability and $$, but increases compliance type 1 - should be used in conjunction with a longer acting insulin type 2 - can be monotherapy or with oral drugs contraindications: 1. smokers (last 6 mo) 2. lung dz. (asthma, COPD) 3. pregnant women - risk not yet ruled out |

|
|
TUBOCURARINE
|
the prototypical non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocker (NDNMB)
effect on prejunctional recepors: causes fade (mobilization) MOA: binds the alpha subunit of the acetylcholine receptor yet has no agonist activity. it blocks the pore. S/E: 1. hypotension from autonomic ganglionic block |
|
|
SUCCINYLCHOLINE
|
the only depolarizing neuromuscular blocker
can act classically (Accom) or nonclassically (Phase II) 1. classical action - causes an accomodation block (phase 1 block), binds the alpha subunit of the acetylcholine receptor. is an agonist, however it stays bound for 5-7 minutes (5-10?) the time dependent gate closes, and the pore is now blocked used when rapid onset and rapid recovery are desired 2. non classical. prolonged SC (SC drip) can cause a phase II block (desensitization) effect on prejunctional receptors: causes fasciculation (curare causes fade) S/E MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA 1. potassium release** 2. intraocular pressure increase 3. gastric pressure increase 4. muscle pain All about second does effects SECOND dose effects, esp in infants-> bradycardia SC blocks nicotinic and muscarinic. muscarinics recover faster, and in infants, muscarinic system is more mature than their nicotinic system the second dose will stimulate only muscarinics on the heart, causing bradycardia infants, denervation patients, spinal chord injury, severe trauma, burns 1. receptors in immature form 2. receptors may be extrajunctinoal due to lack of MEP they open longer and let more K out. they are not in the junction, and it gets into blood HYPERKALEMIA!!!--> V tach! in newborns, burn patients, trauma, and denervation causes immature receptors (gamma rather than epsilon subunits) to stay open longer and release K+, which can cause cardiac arrhythmias). this is especially important in newborns (lots of imm) or denervation, burns, and severe trauma pts (receptors regress back to imm) contraindicated: BURNS NEWBORNS DENERVATION SEVERE TRAUMA CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE (high K already) |
|
|
atracurium
|
non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocker (NDNMB)
atra cur - curarine!!! effect on prejunctional recepors: causes fade (mobilization) MOA: binds the alpha subunit of the acetylcholine receptor yet has no agonist activity. it blocks the pore. S/E: 1. hypotension from autonomic ganglionic block S/E: atracurium is metabolized by the hoffman reaction. its metabolite, laudanosine crosses the BBB and causes seizures. hoffman means that it will eventually be eliminated even w/o enzymes |
