Article Information: Submission: 13/11/2020; Accepted: 07/12/2020; Published: 09/12/2020 Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder of the endocrine system and its prevalence has increased at an accentuating rate in the past years. Its growing prevalence is a matter of concern as it is one of the major contributing factors for the mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular diseases and related ailments. Current treatments involve the use of sulfonylureas, metformin, d-phenylalanine analogs, thiazolidinediones, α-glucosidase inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitors as mono or combination therapy. However, the current treatments are accompanied with undesirable side effects that could be reduced through novel advancements. Moreover, not only the prevalence but the factors that trigger the development of T2DM are also increasing which brings about the need to develop new drugs in order to treat the same. In this review, authors have discussed some recent novel advancements in the current treatment, novel drugs that are at different stages of discovery and development for the treatment of T2DM and novel targets aiming which we could develop new drugs with enhanced therapeutic efficacy and reduced side effects. Additionally, the authors have attempted to discuss the other novel therapeutic uses of the currently available drugs.

Diabetes mellitus is a cluster of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycaemia. Decreased insulin secretion and insulin action Type 2 diabetes/diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is more prevalent than could be the reason for the development of this disease associated type 1 diabetes and is caused mainly due to insulin resistance in cells with the endocrine system. Symptoms of this disease include polyuria, or relative deficiency of insulin secretion that is inadequate to perform polyphagia, polydypsia, weight loss, blurred vision and sometimes its function. This abnormality of insulin secretion and action leads to may lead to impairment of growth or increased susceptibility towards hyperglycaemia and is underlying for several years before showing certain infections. Uncontrolled diabetes may also lead to ketoacidosis any symptoms in the patient. Age, obesity and lack of exercise are and non-ketonic hyperosmolar syndrome. often contributing factors for this disease [1]. Types of diabetes and its prevalence According to the Diabetes Atlas (Ninth Edition 2019) published by Indian Diabetes Federation (IDF), there are currently 463 million There are mainly two types of diabetes- Type 1 & Type 2: people suffering with diabetes and the number is going to accentuate Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder and caused by auto- to 578 million and 700 million by 2030 and 2045 respectively.

It shows its second largest worldwide. In the South East Asia region, India has the antihyperglycaemic effect by increasing the insulin sensitivity of largest diabetes mortality rate with more than 1 million deaths due to peripheral tissue and inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis [7]. It also diabetes and related complications [2]. inhibits the mitochondrial complex 1 that results in disruption of cAMP and protein kinase A signaling in response to glucagon [8]. Inculcation of some habits for a healthy lifestyle is a valuable There is now evidence that metformin could be used for the treatment preventive measure, but what about those who already have this of other related diseases like neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and disease. There are so many factors that develop this disease and cardiovascular diseases and also in the treatment of Polycystic Ovarian therefore, we need drugs that target those factors. Additional factors Syndrome [9,10]. Thus, research and trials are being conducted to that could be the reason for development or advancement of this understand these novel uses of metformin. Given below are the novel disease are being discovered at a remarkably rapid rate, and unknown advancements in metformin. factors that may be reason are yet to be discovered. This leads us to the need to develop new drugs for the same.

At cellular level, insulin coordinates with the agonists hypoglycaemia.

Also, recent epidemiological studies show that metformin can be attributed for reducing the risk of pancreatic, breast, colon as well as prostate cancer as it prevented the growth of breast and p53-/- colon cancer cells in animal models. Thus, metformin is being considered as a new therapeutic agent for treating the cancers mentioned above [11]. • Thiazolidinedione(PPARγ agonists): PPARγ is the factor involved in regulating the expression of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism.

They also show anti- inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic actions [13]. Unfortunately, when these drugs are used alone, they cause undesirable side effects, such as weight gain, edema and anaemia [14].

Batch specific analytical results are provided on each certificate of analysis. Laboratory Procedures Remogliflozin A is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the remogliflozin A in the solvent of choice. Remogliflozin A is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide, which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of remogliflozin A in these solvents is approximately 30 mg/ml. Remogliflozin A is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers. For maximum solubility in aqueous buffers, remogliflozin A should first be dissolved in ethanol and then diluted with the aqueous buffer of choice. Remogliflozin A has a solubility of approximately 0.5 mg/ml in a 1:1 solution of ethanol:PBS (pH 7.2) using this method. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day. Description Remogliflozin A is a potent inhibitor of sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2; Kis = 12.4 and 26 nM 1 for human and rat SGLT2, respectively). It is selective for SGLT2 over SGLT1 (Kis = 4,520 and 997 nM for human and rat SGLT1, respectively). Following administration of a prodrug, remogliflozin etabonate, that is rapidly converted to remogliflozin A in vivo, rat urinary glucose excretion increases and plasma glucose and insulin concentrations decrease.

  • Myricetin Antagonizes Semen-Derived Enhancer of Viral Infection (SEVI
    Ren et al. Retrovirology (2018) 15:49 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12977-018-0432-3 Retrovirology RESEARCH Open Access Myricetin antagonizes semen‑derived enhancer of viral infection (SEVI) formation and infuences its infection‑enhancing activity Ruxia Ren1,2†, Shuwen Yin1†, Baolong Lai2, Lingzhen Ma1, Jiayong Wen1, Xuanxuan Zhang1, Fangyuan Lai1, Shuwen Liu1* and Lin Li1* Abstract Background: Semen is a critical vector for human immunodefciency virus (HIV) sexual transmission and harbors seminal amyloid fbrils that can markedly enhance HIV infection. Semen-derived enhancer of viral infection (SEVI) is one of the best-characterized seminal amyloid fbrils. Due to their highly cationic properties, SEVI fbrils can capture HIV virions, increase viral attachment to target cells, and augment viral fusion. Some studies have reported that myri- cetin antagonizes amyloid β-protein (Aβ) formation; myricetin also displays strong anti-HIV activity in vitro. Results: Here, we report that myricetin inhibits the formation of SEVI fbrils by binding to the amyloidogenic region of the SEVI precursor peptide (PAP248–286) and disrupting PAP248–286 oligomerization. In addition, myricetin was found to remodel preformed SEVI fbrils and to infuence the activity of SEVI in promoting HIV-1 infection. Moreover, myricetin showed synergistic efects against HIV-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral drugs in semen. Conclusions: Incorporation of myricetin into a combination bifunctional microbicide with both anti-SEVI and anti- HIV activities is a highly promising approach to preventing sexual transmission of HIV.

JOFFE, W. P. U. JACKSON, S. BANK, AND A. I. VINIK From the Department of Medicine, Witwatersrand University Medical School, Johannesburg, the Gastro- intestinal and Endocrine Research Units of Cape Town University Medical School, and the Chemical Pathology Department of Natal University, South Africa SUMMARY The short-term therapeutic effect of oral hypoglycaemic agents has been assessed in 12 patients with symptomatic diabetes secondary to chronic pancreatitis (pancreatic diabetes). In six patients who had moderate to severe carbohydrate intolerance, associated with severe insulino- paenia during arginine infusion, the potent sulphonylurea chlorpropamide produced no change in the fasting blood glucose level after two weeks of treatment. This contrasted with the significant reduction produced in a matched group of maturity-onset primary diabetics. The six patients with milder diabetes, and a greater (although still subnormal) insulin secretory capacity, showed an improvement in oral glucose tolerance during the first hour following glucose administration while on chlorpropamide. When the biguanide phenformin was substituted for chlorpropamide in five of these patients, a statistically insignificant improvement in glucose tolerance was observed during treatment.
