Metformin

mechanism of action

*effective only in the presence of insulin *major effect is to decrease hepatic glucose output, increases insulin-mediated glucose utilization in peripheral tissues (such as muscle and liver) *an anti-lipolytic effect that lowers serum free fatty acid concentrations, reducing substrate availability for gluconeogenesis

Metformin

advantages

• Promotes weight loss or stabilization of weight • Lipid lowering activity, decreased triglycerides and free fatty acids • Less likely to cause hypoglycemia • Works well in combination

Metformin

adverse effects

• Gastrointestinal: metallic taste in the mouth, mild anorexia, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and soft bowel movements or diarrhea • Reduces intestinal absorption of vitamin B12 in up to 30% of patients, and lowers serum vitamin B12 concentrations in 5 to 10% • Lactic acidosis: most important in renal failure, but

heart failure

and shock are always cited.

– GFR < 60mL/min – Iodinated contrast

Sulfonylureas

mechanism of action

• increased responsiveness of beta cells to both glucose and non-glucose secretagogues (such as amino acids), resulting in more insulin being released at all blood glucose concentrations.

• useful only in patients with some beta cell function. • Drugs in this class: Glipizide, glyburide (glibenclamide), gliclazide, and glimepiride

Sulfonylureas

adverse effects: hypoglycemia

■ After exercise or a missed meal ■When the drug dose is too high ■With the use of longer-acting drugs (glyburide, chlorpropamide) ■In patients who are undernourished or abuse alcohol ■In patients with impaired renal or cardiac function or gastrointestinal disease ■With concurrent therapy with salicylates, sulfonamides, fibric acid derivatives (such as gemfibrozil), and warfarin ■After being in the hospital Increased risk after MI????

Thiazolidinediones

mechanism of action

• bind to and activate peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs), which regulate gene expression in response to ligand binding • increase insulin sensitivity by acting on adipose, muscle, and liver to increase glucose utilization and decrease glucose production • drugs in this class: troglitazone, pioglitazone, and rosiglitazone.

Thiazolidinediones

effects and adverse events

• Beneficial effects on :dyslipidemia, markers of inflammation, vascular smooth muscle proliferation, vascular reactivity, endothelial function, carotid intima media thickness, and progression of atherosclerosis on coronary intravascular ultrasound.

• But…weight gain,

fluid retention

heart failure

, myocardial infarction, and fractures occur • RECORD trial (3.75 years follow-up) increased risk of HF (HR 2.24)in rosiglitazone combinations compared with metformin plus sulfonylurea.

DPP-4 inhibitors

mechanism of action

• Drugs in this class: sitagliptin, saxagliptin, linagliptin, alogliptin, vildagliptin • Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) is a ubiquitous enzyme expressed on the surface of most cell types that

deactivates

a variety of other bioactive peptides, including GIP and GLP-1;

therefore

, its inhibition could potentially affect glucose regulation through multiple effects

DPP-4 inhibitors

adverse events

• well tolerated in short-term studies. • no effects on body weight or risk of hypoglycemia (in the absence of concomitant treatment with insulin or sulfonylureas • common side effects include: headache, nasopharyngitis, and upper respiratory tract infection • long-term safety with DPP-4 inhibitors has not been established.

GLP-1 receptor agonists

mechanism of actions

• GLP-1-based therapies affect glucose control through several mechanisms: enhancement of glucose-dependent insulin secretion, slowed gastric emptying, regulation of postprandial glucagon, and reduction of food intake • Drugs in this class: xenatide, liraglutide, albiglutide, taspoglutide, lixisenatide

GLP-1 receptor agonists

effects and adverse events

• potential benefit: weight loss • most common adverse events: – nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea – pancreatitis is serious
