Pharmacology of DM drugs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The major characteristics of exogenous insulin preparations | Degree of purity, concentration, species of origion, time course of action |
| Degree of purity of exogenous insulin | The amount of non-insulin proteins or proinsulin (with C-protein), not a problem anymore (pure<1ppm non-insulin) |
| Concentration of exogenous insulin preparations | Potency of insulin is measured in units. the US standard is 100Units per 1 mL. Highly concentrated insulin is 500Units/1mL |
| Species of origin of exogenous insulin | Is no longer of question since recomninant DNA technology- Proinsulin is inserted in E.coli which produces human proinsulin and C-peptide is cleaved- called human insulin those converted or altered is called analogues |
| Time course of action of exogenous insulin | Onset, peak, duration are the characteristics defining exogenous insulins |
| Rate limiting step of insulin activity is | absorption |
| Absorption of exogenous insulin is affected by (BS- PARC) | Blood flow, site of administration, additives, route of administration, concentration, pH |
| Physiochemical Properties of insulin | Insulin naturally self-associates into hexamers, then dimers , then monomers. Additives such as zinc and protamine stablize the hexamer state |
| Rapid acting insulin analogues are designed to | Mimic physiological post-prandial insulin secretion- Onset-15-30min, peak 1-3 hrs, duration 3-4 hours |
| Short acting insulin analogues PK | Neutral pH buffer w/zinc allows onset 30-60minutes, peak in 2-4hrs, and duration 3-7 hrs |
| Intermediate acting insulin analogues PK | They are neutral protamine hagedorn (phosphate buffer) with onset in 1-2 hrs, peak 6-10hrs, duration-16-20hrs |
| Long acting insulin analogues PK | Glargine contains ph-4 and forms solid depot effect, detemir contains a FA the is highly protein bound- Onset 1-2hrs, Peak-None, Duration 20-24hrs |
| Combination insulins | Humalog mix contains a crystalized lispro (intermediate) and lispro rapid acting others are NPH w/ short acting (regular) |
| Elimination of insulin is via | Kidney via glomular capillaries and degraded by glomerular capillary cells and post glomerular cells |
| Side effects of insulin analogues | Hypoglycemia, wt. gain, lipohypertrophy, lipoatrophy |
| Inhaled insulin PK | Onset is 10-20min, peak 2 hrs, duration 6 hrs...absorption like rapid & duration like short acting |
| Contraindications of inhaled insulin | Smokers (6months), Poorly controlled or unstable lung disease, |
| Side effects of inhaled insulin | Cough, Decline of lung function, Bitter taste |
| Dosing of inhaled insulins | 1mg blister=3units of insulin The 2mg=6units and 3mg=8units |
| Sulfonylurea MOA | Stimulates the B-cells to release insulin ( |
| Sulfonylurea ADME | Abs-90%, Highly protein bound, metabolized via 2C9, renal excretion (hepatic for glipizide) |
| Duration of action for sulfonylureas | Glipizide extended release has special capsule shell that will be found in patients stool |
| Sulfonylurea side effects | Disulfram reaction with 1st generation, tolbutamide and chlorpropamide & ETOH |
| DI of sulfonylureas | Protein binding-(warfarin, sulfa antibiotics, salycilates), Hepatic-(cimetidine, rifampin, MAOs), renal-(allopurinol, probenecid) |
| Short acting secretagologes MOA | Stimulate the B-cells to release insulin at alternative site than Sulfonylureas |
| Short acting secretagologes are | Repaglinide, Nateglinide |
| PK of Short acting secretagologes | Absorption 30-60min, half-life is 1-1.5hr, duration 4 hours |
| Regaglinide metabolism | Via 3A4 hepatic and excreted in the feces |
| Nateglinide metabolism | Via 2C9 and 3A4 hepatic and primary renal excretion |
| DI of Regaglinide | Inducers of 3A4(Grapefruit juice, gemfibrozil, azoles, macrolides, protease inhibtiors) |
| Biguanides MOA | 3- Stope conversion of glycogen to glucose, increase peripheral glucose uptake, decrease GI absor of glucose |
| Metformin ADME | GI absorption, duration of action 12 hr, renal elimination |
| DI of metformin | Cimetidine, trimterene, trimethoprim, digoxin |
| SIde effects of metformin | GI-nausea, diarrhea, metallic taste, weight loss, metabolic acidosis |
| Contraindications of metformin | Scr>1.5 men or >1.4 women, lactic acidosis, liver impairment, CHF +diuretic, Chronic lung disease |
| TZD MOA | Stimulates PPARy which regulates lipid and glucose metabolism or GLUT4 receptor uptake |
| TZD are active on | increasing insulin sensitivity in muscle, liver, and fat. They enhanse glucose utilization and suppress hepatic and lipolysis |
| TZD non-glucose effects | Increase HDL, vascular-decrease inflammation, decrease B-cell decline, move visceral to subcutaneous fat |
| Rosiglitazone is metabolized | by 2C8 and excreted in feces |
| Poiglitazone is metabolized | By 2C8 and 3A4 and excreted in the feces |
| Side effects of TZD | edema, HA, weight gain, anemia |
| DI with TZD's | Rosi=gemfibrizol and Pio-itraconazole |
| Alpha glucosidase inhibitors MOA | Competively inhibit glucosidase in the GI brush boarder to decease glucose absorption |
| PK of alphaglucosidase inhibitors | Acarbose metabolized in GI and excreted in feces, Migitol not metabolized and excreted in urine |
| DI of Alpha glucosidase inhibitors | May decrease digoxin Bioavilability, digestive enzymes, and intestinal adsorbants |
| Pramlintide=Symlin MOA | mimics endogenous amylin decreasing glucagon and delaying gastric emptying, and producing satiety- given SQ prior to meals |
| Side effects of pramlintide | Hypoglycemia (with insulin) , N/V, loss of appetitie, HA |
| Pramlintide DI | May decrease analgesic absorption |
| Byetta MOA | synthetic GLP-1 from Glia monster acts on GLP-1 beta cell to decrease glucagon, increase insulin , sloq gastric emptying, improve satiety |
| Byetta PK | Poor absorption (SQ), eliminated via renal |
| Side effects of byetta | Nausea, weight loss, hypoglycemia (when given with sulfonlyureas) |
| DI of byetta | May decrease absorption of analgesics, and antibiotics |
| Sitagliptin (Januva) MOA | It is a DPP-4 inhibitor thus decreases endogenous breakdown of GLP1 causes decrease in glucagon, increase insulin secretion |
| Sitagliptin ADME | Ok absorption, renal excretion must be dose adjusted CrCl>30 =50mg less than <30=25mg QD |
| SIde effects of sitagliptin | Nausea, diarrhea, slight hypoglycemia |
