aspart (Novolog)
rapid acting insulin; self association less because of proline change to Aspartate
detemir (Levemir)
long acting insulin; increased self aggregation and binding to albumin
glargine (Lantus)
long acting insulin; soluble at acidic pH (solution), precipitates at neutral pH (ECF)
glulisine (Apidra)
rapid acting insulin; self association less because of changes to Lys and Glu
lispro (Humalog)
rapid acting insulin; self association less because of lys/pro swap
NPH (Humalin-N)
intermediate acting; wild-type a.acid sequence in suspension with protamine, making it be absorbed more slowly because insulin has to dissociate from protamine first
regular crystalline insulin
Novolin, Humulin. Wild type amino acid sequence
exenatide (Byetta)
incretin agonist. SQ (hormone made in gut, stim pancreatic cells to increase insulin, decrease glucagon, ultimately causing decrease in glucose postprandially)
sitagliptin (Januvia)
inhibitor of incretin degradation. Oral. (hormone made in gut, stim pancreatic cells to increase insulin, decrease glucagon, ultimately causing decrease in glucose postprandially)
pramlintide (Symlin)
amylin analog - inhibit glucagon secretion and suppress appetite centrally (hormone made in alpha cells) SQ
chlorpropamide (Diabinese)
sulfonylurea: increases insulin secretion by decreasing K+ efflux, reduce glucagon levels. 1st generation.
glipizide (Glucotrol)
sulfonylurea: increases insulin secretion by decreasing K+ efflux, reduce glucagon levels. 2nd generation (more potent)
glyburide (Micronase)
sulfonylurea: increases insulin secretion by decreasing K+ efflux, reduce glucagon levels. 2nd generation (more potent)
tolbutamide (Orinase)
sulfonylurea: increases insulin secretion by decreasing K+ efflux, reduce glucagon levels. 1st generation
repaglinide (Prandin)
meglitinide: stimulate closing of K+ channels, increase insulin secretion. Higher binding affinity for K+ channels than sulfonylureas. Not as good w/ renal/liver problems
nateglinide (Starlix)
phenylalanine analog: also acts on K+ channels, still differently than meglitinides and sulfonylureas. Faster than meglitinide, but less sustained.
metformin (Fortamet)
biguanide: activate AMP-activated protein kinase, reducing liver glucose output. S.effects: GI discomfort, lactic acidosis
rosiglitazone (Avandia)
thiazolidinedione: PPARγ agonist - increase insulin sensitivity in liver, fat, mm. need to monitor liver enzymes. CV side effects
pioglitazone (Actos)
thiazolidinedione: PPARγ agonist - increase insulin sensitivity in liver, fat, mm. need to monitor liver enzymes.
acarbose (Precose)
α-glucosidase inhibitor: reduce intestinal absorption of carbs. S.effects: farts, diarrhea, ab pain
miglitol (Glyset)
α-glucosidase inhibitor: reduce intestinal absorption of carbs. S.effects: farts, diarrhea, ab pain
propylthiouracil
thioureylene, blocks oxidation, iodination, and coupling in thyroid. Blocks peripheral conversion of T4 to T3. Oral. Faster than MMI, less potent, shorter duration
methimazole (Tapazole)
thioamide, blocks oxidation, iodination, and coupling in thyroid. Oral. Not as good if pregnant. Slower than PTU, more potent, longer duration
cortisol (hydrocortisone)
glucocorticoid: replacement Tx and emergencies
dexamethasone (Decadron)
glucocorticoid: no MC activity, used when water retention is bad, but want anti-inflam/immunosupp. Also given to mom's for fetal lung maturation.
prednisolone (Prelone)
glucocorticoid: systemic anti-inflam/immunosupp.
fludrocortisone (Florinef)
mineralocorticoid
spironolactone (Aldactone)
mineralocorticoid antagonist: also androgen antagonist (good for CAH type II)
eplerenone (Inspra)
mineralocorticoid antagonist: no antiandrogen activity.
aminoglutethimide (Cytadren)
inhibits synthesis of cortisol by blocking desmolase (cholesterol to pregnenolone). Affects testis and ovaries too
metyrapone (Metopirone)
inhibits synthesis of cortisol by blocking 11 beta-hydroxylase (like induced CAH type II)
ketoconazole (Nizoral)
inhibits synthesis of cortisol by blocking many steps in steroid synthesis. Also anitfungal. Not specific to adrenal.
glucocorticoid action
increase in blood glucose. Increase protein breakdown. Increase lipolysis - fat redistribution. Increase gluconeogenesis and glycogen synthesis. Decrease glucose utilization
estradiol (Estraderm)
estrogen
ethinyl estradiol
estrogen. Comined with drospirenone for YAZ.
estrone sulfate
estrogen from stallion urine
diethylstilbestrol (DES)
estrogen - non steroid
tamoxifen (Nolvadex)
SERM
raloxifene (Evista)
SERM
clomiphene (Clomid)
estrogen receptor antagonist. Induce ovulation. Give in early follicular phase and antagonize inhibitor effects of estrogen on pituitary and hypothalamus (LH surge)
fulvestrant (Faslodex)
estrogen receptor antagonist. Induce ovulation. Give in early follicular phase and antagonize inhibitor effects of estrogen on pituitary and hypothalamus (LH surge)
anastrozole (Arimidex)
