Pharmacotherapy Comparison of antihyperglycemics
Pharmacotherapy Drug Classes Sensitizers Secretagogues Other
Drug Classes Sensitizers Secretagogues • Metformin • Glitazones (TZD) • Sulfonylureas – Eg. Glyburide, Gliclazide • Meglitinides – Rosiglitazone (Avandia®) – Pioglitazone (Actos®) – Eg Repaglinide (Gluconorm®) Other • Alpha glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose) SGLT 2 inhibitors (Cana- Dapa- Empagliflozin) • DPP 4 inhibitors (Gliptins) Incretin (GLP 1) Analogues (all sc inj) • Sitagliptin, Linagliptin • Saxagliptin, Alogliptin * Liraglutide , Dulaglutide, Lixisenatide, * Exenatide, Semaglutide (po/sc)
Pharmacology Sensitizers • Metformin • Glitazones (TZD) – Rosiglitazone (Avandia®) – Pioglitazone (Actos®) Lexicomp® 2018 • Reduce insulin resistance • Increase glucose uptake & utilization in muscle and adipose tissue • Reduce hepatic glucose output
Drug Classes Sensitizers Secretagogues • Metformin • Glitazones (TZD) • Sulfonylureas – Eg. Glyburide, Gliclazide • Meglitinides – Rosiglitazone (Avandia®) – Pioglitazone (Actos®) – Eg Repaglinide (GLUCONORM) Other • Alpha glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose) gliflozin) SGLT 2 inhibitors (Cana-, Dapa, Empa- • DPP 4 inhibitors (Gliptins) Incretin (GLP 1)Analogues • Sitagliptin, Linagliptin • Saxagliptin, Alogliptin * Liraglutide , Dulaglutide, Lixisenatide, * Exenatide, Semaglutide (all sc inj)
Pharmacology • ↑Basal and prandial insulin secretion Secretagogues – ↓hepatic gluconeogenesis Secretagogues • Sulfonylureas • Doesn’t correct impaired – Eg. Glyburide, Gliclazide 1 st phase insulin secretion; primarily affects 2 nd phase • Meglitinides • Beta-cell sensitizer – – Eg Repaglinide (Gluconorm®) primes glucose mediated insulin secretion (1 st phase) Lexicomp® 2018
Drug Classes Sensitizers Secretagogues • Metformin • Glitazones (TZD) • Sulfonylureas – Eg. Glyburide, Gliclazide • Meglitinides – Rosiglitazone (Avandia®) – Pioglitazone (Actos®) – Eg Repaglinide (GLUCONORM) Other • Alpha glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose) gliflozin) SGLT 2 inhibitors (Cana-, Dapa, Empa- • DPP 4 inhibitors (Gliptins) Incretin (GLP 1)Analogues • Sitagliptin, Linagliptin • Saxagliptin, Alogliptin * Liraglutide , Dulaglutide, Lixisenatide, * Exenatide, Semaglutide (all sc inj)
Pharmacology: Other • Alpha glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose) • Competitive inhibitor of pancreatic α-amylase and intestinal brush border α-glucosidases, resulting in delayed hydrolysis of ingested complex carbohydrates and disaccharides and absorption of glucose; Dose-dependent reduction in postprandial serum insulin and glucose peaks; inhibits the metabolism of sucrose to glucose and fructose • SGLT 2 inhibitors (Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin, Empagliflozin) – Inhibits sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT 2) in the proximal renal tubules, reducing reabsorption of filtered glucose from the tubular lumen and lowering the renal threshold for glucose (RTG). SGLT 2 is the main site of filtered glucose reabsorption; reduction of filtered glucose reabsorption and lowering of RTG result in increased urinary excretion of glucose, thereby reducing plasma glucose concentrations. • DPP 4 inhibitors (Gliptins) – (Sitagliptin, Lingliptin, Saxagliptin, Alogliptin) • Prolongs the action of endogenous incretin hormones by blocking their breakdown by the enzyme, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). This leads to more insulin release after eating. • Incretin (GLP 1) Analogues – (Liraglutide, Exenatide, Semaglutide, Dulaglutide) – sc injection – mimic endogenous incretin hormones Lexicomp® 2018
So Many Options! How to Choose? • FOUR steps to Rational Prescribing: 1. Benefit 2. Harm 3. Cost 4. Convenience
Rational Prescribing Prioritize: a) Type of harm b) Quantity of harm c) Quality of evidence d) Time to harm Prioritize: a) Type of benefit b) Quantity of benefit c) Quality of evidence d) Time to benefit 1 Benefit 3, 4 Harm Cost & Convenience Roland Halil, Pharm. D, ACPR, BSc. Pharm, BSc(Hon) © 2
