  • LANTUS® (Insulin Glargine [Rdna Origin] Injection)
    Rev. March 2007 Rx Only LANTUS® (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection) LANTUS® must NOT be diluted or mixed with any other insulin or solution. DESCRIPTION LANTUS® (insulin glargine [rDNA origin] injection) is a sterile solution of insulin glargine for use as an injection. Insulin glargine is a recombinant human insulin analog that is a long-acting (up to 24-hour duration of action), parenteral blood-glucose-lowering agent. (See CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). LANTUS is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing a non- pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli (K12) as the production organism. Insulin glargine differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position A21 is replaced by glycine and two arginines are added to the C-terminus of the B-chain. Chemically, it is 21A- B B Gly-30 a-L-Arg-30 b-L-Arg-human insulin and has the empirical formula C267H404N72O78S6 and a molecular weight of 6063. It has the following structural formula: LANTUS consists of insulin glargine dissolved in a clear aqueous fluid. Each milliliter of LANTUS (insulin glargine injection) contains 100 IU (3.6378 mg) insulin glargine. Inactive ingredients for the 10 mL vial are 30 mcg zinc, 2.7 mg m-cresol, 20 mg glycerol 85%, 20 mcg polysorbate 20, and water for injection. Inactive ingredients for the 3 mL cartridge are 30 mcg zinc, 2.7 mg m-cresol, 20 mg glycerol 85%, and water for injection. The pH is adjusted by addition of aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. LANTUS has a pH of approximately 4. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action: The primary activity of insulin, including insulin glargine, is regulation of glucose metabolism.

  • Comparative Transcriptional Network Modeling of Three PPAR-A/C Co-Agonists Reveals Distinct Metabolic Gene Signatures in Primary Human Hepatocytes
    Comparative Transcriptional Network Modeling of Three PPAR-a/c Co-Agonists Reveals Distinct Metabolic Gene Signatures in Primary Human Hepatocytes Rene´e Deehan1, Pia Maerz-Weiss2, Natalie L. Catlett1, Guido Steiner2, Ben Wong1, Matthew B. Wright2*, Gil Blander1¤a, Keith O. Elliston1¤b, William Ladd1, Maria Bobadilla2, Jacques Mizrahi2, Carolina Haefliger2, Alan Edgar{2 1 Selventa, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States of America, 2 F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, Basel, Switzerland Abstract Aims: To compare the molecular and biologic signatures of a balanced dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-a/c agonist, aleglitazar, with tesaglitazar (a dual PPAR-a/c agonist) or a combination of pioglitazone (Pio; PPAR-c agonist) and fenofibrate (Feno; PPAR-a agonist) in human hepatocytes. Methods and Results: Gene expression microarray profiles were obtained from primary human hepatocytes treated with EC50-aligned low, medium and high concentrations of the three treatments. A systems biology approach, Causal Network Modeling, was used to model the data to infer upstream molecular mechanisms that may explain the observed changes in gene expression. Aleglitazar, tesaglitazar and Pio/Feno each induced unique transcriptional signatures, despite comparable core PPAR signaling. Although all treatments inferred qualitatively similar PPAR-a signaling, aleglitazar was inferred to have greater effects on high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels than tesaglitazar and Pio/Feno, due to a greater number of gene expression changes in pathways related to high-density and low-density lipoprotein metabolism. Distinct transcriptional and biologic signatures were also inferred for stress responses, which appeared to be less affected by aleglitazar than the comparators. In particular, Pio/Feno was inferred to increase NFE2L2 activity, a key component of the stress response pathway, while aleglitazar had no significant effect.

Preliminary studies showed improvement in left ventricular (LV) function during glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist administration. Underlying mechanisms, however, are unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate myocardial perfusion and oxidative metabolism in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients with LV systolic dysfunction as compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, efects of 26-weeks of exenatide versus insulin glargine administration on cardiac function, perfusion and oxidative metabolism in T2DM patients with LV dysfunction were explored. Methods and results: Twenty-six T2DM patients with LV systolic dysfunction (cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) derived LV ejection fraction (LVEF) of 47 13%) and 10 controls (LVEF of 59 4%, P < 0.01 as compared to patients) were analyzed. Both myocardial perfusion± during adenosine-induced hyperemia± (P < 0.01), and coronary fow reserve 15 (P < 0.01), measured by ­[ O]H2O positron emission tomography (PET), were impaired in T2DM patients as compared to healthy controls. Myocardial oxygen consumption and myocardial efciency, measured using ­[11C]acetate PET and CMR derived stroke volume, were not diferent between the groups.
