(5) a-glucosidase inhibitors
(6) mimetics
(7) GLP-1 mimetics
insulins
- Lispro (short)
- Aspart (short)
- Regular (short)
- NPH (intermed)
- Glargine (long)
- Detemir (long)
6 diff ones...but he said not to get too bogged down in knowing these
1st gen sulfonylureas
- tolbutamide
- chlorpropamide
diabetes drugs
there are 2
2nd gen sulfonylureas
- glyburide
- glimepiride
- glipizide
diabetes drugs
there are 3
biguanides
metformin
diabetes drug
only 1
glitazones/thiazolidinediones
- pioglitazone
- rosiglitazone
diabetes drug
there are 2
a-glycosidase inhibitors
- acarbose
- miglitol
diabetes drugs
there are 2
mimetics
pramlintide
diabetes drugs
there is only 1!
GLP-1 mimetics
exenatide
diabetes drugs
there is only 1!
sulfonylureas MOA
close K+ chans in β-cell memb, so cell depols → triggering of insulin release via ↑Ca2+ influx
(kick starts β-cells to pump out more insulin)
(tolbutamide, chlorpropamide, glyburide, glimepiride, glipizide)
first gen sulfonylurea toxicity
disulfiram-like effects
(tolbutamide, chlorpropamide)
2nd gen sulfonylurea toxicity
hypoglycemia
(glyburide, glimepiride, glipizide)
never give IV contrast dye to pts on:
metformin
(biguanides)
MOA of sulfonylureas
- close K+ chan in b-cell memb
- cell depols→ triggers insulin release (via ↑Ca2+ influx)

("kick starts" beta cells to pump out more insulin)
metformin adverse effects
- lactic acidosis (rare)
- CONTRAIND in renal failure, liver dz, & CHF
metformin MOA
unknown.
overall acts as insulin sensitizer
can metformin be used in pts w/o islet function?
yes
↑'s insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissue
glitazones
(thiazolidinediones)
S/E's of glitazones
- wt gain
- edema
- hepatotox
- CV tox
- exacerb. HF
MOA of acarbose & miglitol
- (-) intest brush-border a-glucosidases
- delayed sugar hydrolysis & glucose absorp l/t ↓ postprand hyperglycemia
(a-glucosidase inhibitors)
S/E's of acarbose & miglitol
GI disturbances
MOA of mimetics (pramlintide)
↓ glucagon
MOA of GLP-1 mimetics (exenatide)
↑ insulin, ↓ glucagon release
insulin drugs useful in type 1 DM
- insulin
- metformin (?)
orlistat MOA
alters fat metab by (-) panc lipases
("orlistat gets rid of fat")
clinical use of orlistat
long-term obesity management
(orlistat gets rid of fat)
orlistat toxicity
- steatorrhea
- GI discomfort
- ↓ absorp of fat-soluble vitamins
- HA
sibutramine MOA
(-) sympathomimetic 5HT & NE reuptake
sibutramine clinical use
short & long term obesity management
sibutramine toxicity
- HTN & tachycardia
- HA
sibutramine is contraindicated in:
- CAD
- stroke
- TIA
- HF
- arryth
- avoid SSRI's & MAOI's (risk of serotonin synd)
PTU/methimazole MOA
- (-) organification of iodide
- (-) coupling of thyroid synth
- PTU also ↓ periph conversion of T4→T3
PTU/methimazole clinical use
hyperthyroidism
(you CAN use in pregnancy)
PTU/methimazole toxicity
- skin rash
- agranulocytosis (rare)
- aplastic anemia (rare)
thyroxine replacement
- levothyroxine
- triiodothyronine

(use in hypothyroidism)
clinical use of GH
- GH deficiency
- Turner's syndrome
clinical use of somatostatin (octreotide)
- acromegaly
- carcinoid
- gastrinoma
- glucagonoma
- portal HTN (bleeding varices)
- bleeding peptic ulcers
- ACTH secr tumors
- ZES
- VIPoma
- insulinoma
drug you can give to stim labor / uterine contractions
oxytocin
drug you can give for milk let-down
oxytocin
drug that controls uterine hemorrhage
oxytocin
drug for pituitary (central) diabetes insipidus
ADH (desmopressin)
ADH antagonist used in SIADH
demeclocycline
demeclocycline toxicity
- nephrogenic DI
- photosensitivity
- abnormalities of teeth
(tetracycline family)
MOA of glucocorticoids
↓ production of LT's & PGE's by (-) phospholipase A2 & expression of COX-2
glucocorticoid clinical use
- addison's
- inflammation
- immune suppression
- asthma
- ↓ collagen synth (keloids)
glucocorticoid toxicity
IATROGENIC CUSHING'S SYND
(tertiary adrenocortical atrophy)
somatostatin actions
- ↓ endocrine/exocrine secr
- ↓ splanchnic BF
- ↓ GI motility
- ↓ GB cxn
- (-) secr of most GI horms
where is somatostatin made
- through-out GI (mostly in D cells of gut mucosa & islet cells)
- through-out nervous system
