|
1st Generation Sulfonylureas
(Drugs) |
Tolbutamide (Orinase)
Chlorpropamide (Diabinese) Tolazamide (Tolinase) Acetohexamide (Dymelor) |
|
Define 1st Generation Sulfonylureas-mech?
|
• Potent hypoglycemic agents
• MOA:Close K+ channel (no need for ATP) = depolarization of β-cell = open Ca+ channel = insulin release • S.E. =hypoglycemia, weight gain, dermatological (sulfa) allergies |
|
2nd Generation Sulfonylureas(Drugs)
|
Glyburide (Micronase)
Glipizide (Glucotrol) Glucotrol XL* Glimepiride (Amaryl) |
|
Define 2nd Generation Sulfonylureas-Mech?
|
• Longer DOA than 1st generation
• 100x more potent hypoglycemic agents than 1st generation agents (Bad if OD) • Same side effects as 1st generation agents |
|
Meglinitides-Drugs?
|
Repaglinide (Prandin)
Nateglinide (Starlix) |
|
Define Meglinitides
|
• MOA: Close K+ channel (no need for ATP) = depolarization of β-cell = open Ca+ channel = insulin release
|
|
Meglinities specific info?
|
• Hypoglycemic agents
• Use: Reduce post-prandial glucose (take b/f meal) • Short t1/2’s • S.E. = Weight gain • No sulfa allergy |
|
Biguanides )Drug)
|
Metformin (Glucophage)
• Can be used in combinations with sulfonylureas, glitazones & insulin |
|
Biguanide-specific info?
|
• NOT hypoglycemic agent
• #1 agent forType-2 • Modest weight loss- • Increases HDL • “Anti-hyperglycemic” • Possible lactic acidosis (don’t use in kidney/liver diseased patients) • S.E. = GI disturbances (diarrhea) → releases 5-HT in gut |
|
Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors-Drugs?
|
Acarbose (Precose)
Miglitol (Glyset) |
|
Define Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors
|
• MOA: Compete with enzyme to prevent breakdown of complex carbohydrates (delay digestion of carbs = delay glucose absorption)
• Slow glucose peak in blood |
|
Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors Specific info
|
• Taken TID with 1st bite of each meal
• Modest therapeut. action • Prevent sucrose breakdn • S.E. = gas • Poorly tolerated ! (gas) |
|
Thiazolidinediones-TZD (Drugs)
|
Rosiglitazone (Avandia)
Pioglitazone (Actos |
|
Define TZD
|
• MOA: Sensitize tissue to insulin = enhance the uptake of fatty acids and glucose from plasma to fat/muscle
• Dependent on presence of insulin • Activate nuclear receptor PPAR-γ • Increase expression of LPL, fatty acid transport protein & GLUT-4 |
|
TZD-Specific info?
|
• Similar MAO as fibrates
• Activate PPAR-γ which increases transcription of LPL, GLUT-4, others • Monitor LFTs every 2 months for 1st year • Slow onset ~ 2 months • S.E. = weight gain / fluid retention (Bad if CHF pt) • ↑MI incidence with rosigl. |
|
Incretin Mimetic Agent (Drug)? Define?
|
Exenatide (Byetta)
• MOA: Glucagon-like peptide - GLP-1 (7-36 amide) agonist; potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, decreases appetite, may?? increase beta cell proliferation long-term |
|
Incretin Mimetic Agent (Specific info)
|
• Type-2 Diabetics ONLY
• NOT indicated for use with insulin • Peptide (inject sc) • NO weight gain • Weight loss possible • Nausea • Drug interactions because it slows gastric emptying |
|
Amylin agonist (Drug?, Define)
|
Pramlintide (Symlin)
• MOA: Slows gastric emptying, suppresses post-prandial glucagon, decreases appetite |
|
Amylin agonist-Specific info?
|
• Type-1/Type-2 Diabetics
who use insulin at mealtime • Peptide (SC before meals) • NO weight gain • Nausea (28-48%) → titrate dose to avoid • Caution in patients with diabetic gastroparesis • Drug interactions because it slows gastric emptying → don’t co-administer anti-cholinergics, acarbose or Miglitol |
