  • Association Between Serious Hypoglycemia and Calcium-Channel Blockers Used Concomitantly with Insulin Secretagogues
    Research Letter | Diabetes and Endocrinology Association Between Serious Hypoglycemia and Calcium-Channel Blockers Used Concomitantly With Insulin Secretagogues Young Hee Nam, PhD; Colleen M. Brensinger, MS; Warren B. Bilker, PhD; James H. Flory, MD; Charles E. Leonard, MSCE, PharmD; Sean Hennessy, PhD, PharmD Introduction + Supplemental content Serious hypoglycemia is a major, potentially fatal adverse event caused by insulin secretagogues.1 Author affiliations and article information are Previous case reports suggested that calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) might reduce the risk of listed at the end of this article. serious hypoglycemia in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.2,3 However, the association of serious hypoglycemia and CCBs used with insulin secretagogues has remained unclear. Because insulin secretion by the pancreas is mediated by calcium influx in beta cells through calcium channels,4 we conducted a population-based observational study on the hypothesis that concomitant use of CCBs may be associated with reduced rates of serious hypoglycemia in insulin secretagogue users. Methods This self-controlled case series study was approved by the institutional review board of the University of Pennsylvania, which waived the requirement for informed consent because the use or disclosure of the protected health information involved no more than minimal risk to the privacy of individuals, and the research could not practicably be conducted without the waiver or alteration and without access to and use of the protected health information. We followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) reporting guideline. We used claims data from the Medicaid programs of 5 US states (California, Florida, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, encompassing more than a third of the nationwide Medicaid population), supplemented with Medicare claims for dual enrollees, from January 1, 1999, to December 31, 2011, and used the self- controlled case series design.

  • PRANDIN® (Repaglinide) Tablets (0.5, 1, and 2 Mg) Rx Only
    PRANDIN® (repaglinide) Tablets (0.5, 1, and 2 mg) Rx only DESCRIPTION PRANDIN® (repaglinide) is an oral blood glucose-lowering drug of the meglitinide class used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus or NIDDM). Repaglinide, S(+)2-ethoxy-4(2((3-methyl-1-(2-(1-piperidinyl) phenyl)- butyl) amino)-2-oxoethyl) benzoic acid, is chemically unrelated to the oral sulfonylurea insulin secretagogues. The structural formula is as shown below: CH3 O OH H3C O N O H N CH3 Repaglinide is a white to off-white powder with molecular formula C27 H36 N2 O4 and a molecular weight of 452.6. PRANDIN tablets contain 0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg of repaglinide. In addition each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: calcium hydrogen phosphate (anhydrous), microcrystalline cellulose, maize starch, polacrilin potassium, povidone, glycerol (85%), magnesium stearate, meglumine, and poloxamer. The 1 mg and 2 mg tablets contain iron oxides (yellow and red, respectively) as coloring agents. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action Repaglinide lowers blood glucose levels by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas. This action is dependent upon functioning beta (ß) cells in the pancreatic islets. Insulin release is glucose-dependent and diminishes at low glucose concentrations. Repaglinide closes ATP-dependent potassium channels in the ß-cell membrane by binding at characterizable sites. This potassium channel blockade depolarizes the ß-cell, which leads to an opening of calcium channels. The resulting increased calcium influx induces insulin secretion. The ion channel mechanism is highly tissue selective with low affinity for heart and skeletal muscle.

  • Sulfonylureas
    Therapeutic Class Overview Sulfonylureas INTRODUCTION In the United States (US), diabetes mellitus affects more than 30 million people and is the 7th leading cause of death (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] 2018). Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common form of diabetes and is characterized by elevated fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations (American Diabetes Association [ADA] 2019[a]). It is a chronic illness that requires continuing medical care and ongoing patient self-management education and support to prevent acute complications and to reduce the risk of long-term complications (ADA 2019[b]). ○ Complications of T2DM include hypertension, heart disease, stroke, vision loss, nephropathy, and neuropathy (ADA 2019[a]). In addition to dietary and lifestyle management, T2DM can be treated with insulin, one or more oral medications, or a combination of both. Many patients with T2DM will require combination therapy (Garber et al 2019). Classes of oral medications for the management of blood glucose levels in patients with T2DM focus on increasing insulin secretion, increasing insulin responsiveness, or both, decreasing the rate of carbohydrate absorption, decreasing the rate of hepatic glucose production, decreasing the rate of glucagon secretion, and blocking glucose reabsorption by the kidney (Garber et al 2019). Pharmacologic options for T2DM include sulfonylureas (SFUs), biguanides, thiazolidinediones (TZDs), meglitinides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs, amylinomimetics, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, combination products, and insulin (Garber et al 2019). SFUs are the oldest of the oral antidiabetic medications, and all agents are available generically. The SFUs can be divided into 2 categories: first-generation and second-generation.

  • MRI Evidence That Glibenclamide Reduces Acute Lesion Expansion in a Rat Model of Spinal Cord Injury
    Spinal Cord (2013) 51, 823–827 OPEN & 2013 International Spinal Cord Society All rights reserved 1362-4393/13 www.nature.com/sc ORIGINAL ARTICLE MRI evidence that glibenclamide reduces acute lesion expansion in a rat model of spinal cord injury JM Simard1,2,3, PG Popovich4, O Tsymbalyuk1, J Caridi1, RP Gullapalli5, MJ Kilbourne6 and V Gerzanich1 Study design: Experimental, controlled, animal study. Objectives: To use non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to corroborate invasive studies showing progressive expansion of a hemorrhagic lesion during the early hours after spinal cord trauma and to assess the effect of glibenclamide, which blocks Sur1-Trpm4 channels implicated in post-traumatic capillary fragmentation, on lesion expansion. Setting: Baltimore. Methods: Adult female Long–Evans rats underwent unilateral impact trauma to the spinal cord at C7, which produced ipsilateral but not contralateral primary hemorrhage. In series 1 (six control rats and six administered glibenclamide), hemorrhagic lesion expansion was characterized using MRI at 1 and 24 h after trauma. In series 2, hemorrhagic lesion size was characterized on coronal tissue sections at 15 min (eight rats) and at 24 h after trauma (eight control rats and eight administered glibenclamide). Results: MRI (T2 hypodensity) showed that lesions expanded 2.3±0.33-fold (Po0.001) during the first 24 h in control rats, but only 1.2±0.07-fold (P40.05) in glibenclamide-treated rats. Measuring the areas of hemorrhagic contusion on tissue sections at the epicenter showed that lesions expanded 2.2±0.12-fold (Po0.001) during the first 24 h in control rats, but only 1.1±0.05-fold (P40.05) in glibenclamide-treated rats.

Batch specific analytical results are provided on each certificate of analysis. Laboratory Procedures Nateglinide is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the nateglinide in the solvent of choice. Nateglinide is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide, which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of nateglinide in these solvents is approximately 30 mg/ml. Description Nateglinide is a hypoglycemic agent.1-3 It induces insulin and somatostatin release from perfused rat pancreas when used at concentrations ranging from 0.03 to 3 μM.1 Nateglinide (3 µM) increases intracellular calcium levels in isolated rat pancreatic β cells, an effect that can be inhibited by the L-type calcium channel blocker nitrendipine (Item No. 17549). Nateglinide-induced secretion of insulin and somatostatin and calcium influx is also reversed by the potassium channel activator diazoxide (Item No. 14576). Oral administration of nateglinide (1.6 mg/kg) reduces blood glucose levels by 20% in fasted mice.2 It also decreases blood glucose levels in an oral glucose tolerance test in normal rats, genetically diabetic KK mice, and a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ; Item No.

Development: This home-study CPE activity Data synthesis: Seven new therapeutic agents that were marketed in the United was developed by the American Pharmacists States in early 2014 are considered in this first of a four-part series: umeclidinium Association. bromide/vilanterol trifenatate, perampanel, eslicarbazepine acetate, apremilast, dapagliflozin propanediol, avanafil, and bazedoxifene/conjugated estrogens. In- dications and information on dosage and administration for these agents are re- viewed, as are the most important pharmacokinetic properties, drug interactions, and other precautions. Practical considerations for use of these new agents are also discussed. When possible, properties of the new drugs are compared with those of older agents marketed for the same indications. Conclusion: Umeclidinium/vilanterol is the first combination formulation for oral inhalation to include both a long-acting muscarinic antagonist and a long-acting beta-2-adrenergic agonist for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic ob- structive pulmonary disease. Both perampanel and eslicarbazepine have been ap- proved as adjunctive treatment for patients with partial-onset seizures. Perampanel has a unique mechanism of action whereas eslicarbazepine has properties that are most similar to those of oxcarbazepine. Apremilast is indicated for the treatment of patients with active psoriatic arthritis and is effective following oral administra- tion.
