Mechanism of Action of Sitagliptin
This illustration describes the mechanism of action of JANUVIA™ (sitagliptin phosphate).
The incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP are released by the intestine throughout the day, and levels are increased in response to a meal. The incretins are part of an endogenous system involved in the physiologic regulation of glucose homeostasis.
When blood glucose concentrations are normal or elevated, GLP-1 and GIP increase insulin synthesis and release from pancreatic beta cells by intracellular signaling pathways involving cyclic AMP. With higher insulin levels, tissue glucose uptake is enhanced.
In addition, GLP-1 lowers glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells.
Decreased glucagon levels, along with higher insulin levels, lead to reduced hepatic glucose production and are associated with a decrease in blood glucose levels in the fasting and postprandial states.
The effects of GLP-1 and GIP are glucose dependent.
The activity of GLP-1 and GIP is limited by the DPP-4 enzyme, which rapidly inactivates incretin hormones.
Concentrations of the active intact hormones are increased by JANUVIA, thereby increasing and prolonging the action of these hormones.

Incretin Mimetics are resistant to DPP-4 inactivation
Concentrations of the active intact hormones are increased by DPP-4 inhibition, thereby increasing and prolonging the actions of these hormones.
GLP-1=glucagon-like peptide-1; GIP=glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide.

7. GLP-1 Agonists Medications: Byetta® (exenatide)
Bydureon® (exenatide extended-release)
Victoza® (liraglutide)
Tanzeum® (albiglutide)
Trulicity® (dulagutide)
Indication:
Treatment of type 2 diabetes (noninsulin dependent) to improve glycemic control
Mechanism of Action:
GLP-1 agonists are analogues of the natural hormone incretin which increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion, decreases inappropriate glucagon secretion, increases β-cell growth/replication, slows gastric emptying, and decreases food intake.

8. GLP-1 Agonists
Mechanism of Action

9. GLP-1 Agonists Contraindications: Warnings/Precautions:
Contraindicated in patients with prior severe hypersensitivity reactions to GLP-1 agonists or to any of the products components.
Exenatide is not recommended for patients with severe renal impairment (GFR <30 ml/min), ESRD, or in patients on dialysis.
Warnings/Precautions:
GLP-1 agonists have been associated with acute pancreatitis, including fatal and non-fatal hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis, based on postmarketing data. It is unknown whether patients with a history of pancreatitis are at increased risk for pancreatitis while using these drugs; consider other antidiabetic therapies for these patients.
Use GLP-1 agonists with caution in patients with renal impairment , pacreatitis, and/or history of thyroid carcinomas.
Drug Interactions:
Oral Medications: GLP-1 agonists slow gastric emptying and can reduce the rate of absorption of orally administered drugs. Use with caution with oral medications.
Warfarin: Postmarketing reports show increased international normalized ratio (INR) sometimes associated with bleeding with concomitant use of warfarin. Monitor INR frequently until stable upon initiation or alteration of therapy.
DO NOT TAKE IN COMBINATION WITH DPP-4 INHIBITORS
