Actos
pioglitizone
DM- selectively stimulates the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) and to a lesser extent PPAR-α.[2][3] It modulates the transcription of the insulin-sensitive genes involved in the control of glucose and lipid metabolism in the muscle, adipose tissue, and the liver. As a result, pioglitazone reduces insulin resistance in the liver and peripheral tissues; increases the expense of insulin-dependent glucose; decreases withdrawal of glucose from the liver; reduces quantity of glucose, insulin and glycated hemoglobin in the bloodstream.
15 or 30 mg daily
peripheral edema, Liver, CHF
Remicade
infliximab
Given IV: Crohn's 5mg/kg; RA 3mg/kg week 0,2,6
Infliximab neutralizes the biological activity of TNFα by binding with high affinity to the soluble (free floating in the blood) and transmembrane (located on the outer membranes of T cells and similar immune cells) forms of TNFα and inhibits or prevents the effective binding of TNFα with its receptors. Biological activities that are attributed to TNFα include: induction of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL) 1 and IL 6, enhancement of leukocyte movement or migration from the blood vessels into the tissues by increasing the permeability of endothelial layer of blood vessels; and increasing the release of adhesion molecules.

Januvia
sitagliptin
inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzyme, slowing the inactivation of incretin hormones.When blood glucose concentrations are normal or elevated, GLP-1 and GIP increase insulin synthesis and release from pancreatic beta cells by intracellular signaling pathways involving cyclic AMP. GLP-1 also lowers glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells, leading to reduced hepatic glucose production. By increasing and prolonging active incretin levels, JANUVIA increases insulin release and decreases glucagon levels in the circulation in a glucose-dependent manner.

ike gabapentin, pregabalin binds to the alpha2delta subunit of the voltage-dependent calcium channel in the CNS, decreases the release of glutamate, norepi, and substance P, increases neuronal GABA levels by producing a dose-dependent increase in glutamic acid decarboxylase activity.[2] Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is the enzyme that converts the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate into GABA in a single step. potentiates benzodiazepines, barbiturates & other depressants.
