ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To provid e reference for hospital decision-maker to select and use repaglinide and naglinide reasonably. METHODS ：Through reviewing literautre ，guideline and instruction ，full score system was estalished for comunni- cation between pharmacists and physicians ；from the aspects of clinical necessity ，effectiveness，safety，economy，medical insu- rance attribute ，essential medicine attribute ，original research attribute ，drug packaging attribute ，drug market and enterprise attributes，the Mini health technology assessment （Mini HTA ）was carried out for repaglinide and nateglinide ，and scored on the basis of weight value. RESULTS ：Repaglinide and naglinide ’s final score were 77 and 74，respectively. For type 2 diabetes，both of them could reduce postprandial blood glucose ，and had less side effect and good safety. They were both included in the medical insurance list. Both of them were original varieties ，easy to store and had a long period of validity. Although they were expensive in the treatment of type 2 diabetes，their manufacturers had a good reputation and were widely used in the world ，which was a good choice for patients with type 2 diabetes. But they were different to certain extent ；repaglinide could be used in patients with poor renal function [eGFR ＜30 mL/min] without dose adjustment ；nateglinide should be adjusted according to eGFR for renal excretion. Repaglinide was essential medicine but nateglinide wasn ’t；repaglinide didn ’t need shading storage but nateglinide did. In addition ， a variety of liver drug enzyme inducers or inhibitors may interact with the two drugs ，and special groups should be used with. CONCLUSIONS ：Mini HTA provide reference for the selection and rational use of repaglinide and nateglinide ；patients with type 2 diabetes can select suitable drug according to their own conditions and needs. When combined with other drugs ，blood glucose should be closely monitored to prevent the occurrence of hypoglycemia.
ABSTRACT
Background: In India the number of people with diabetes is increasing day-by-day. Due to a sole “Asian Indian Phenotype,” Indians develop diabetes an era earlier and have an earlier onset of complications. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate more effective treatment strategies at an earlier stage of disease progression.Methods: The present study was prospective, open label, comparative, randomized, parallel group, single center study. Comparison of two post prandial active treatment groups over a period of 3 months. Sixty patients of either sex in the age group of 30-60years with newly diagnosed type II diabetes mellitus, with prandial blood glucose levels >180mg% and <250mg% at screening as per ADA. The effect of repaglinide and voglibose were observed on various parameters i.e. HbA1c, FBS, PBS, BMI.Results: In repaglinide group the mean change in HbA1c from baseline to 3 months was 8.05 to 7.04 (-1.01); on the other hand, in voglibose group from baseline to 3 months was 8.0 to 7.18 (-0.82). Whereas, FBS from 137.57 to 122.90 (-16.67) in repaglinide group; in voglibose group from 139.87 to 125.13 (-14.74). Repaglinide statistically highly significant than voglibose group in improving glycemic indices.Conclusions: Though repaglinide and voglibose were equally effective in improving glycemic indices yet repaglinide showed better results in improving HbA1c, FBG, PBS as compared with voglibose. Repaglinide had minimal side effects as compared to voglibose.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of repaglinide combined with metformin versus glimepiride combined with metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),and to provide evidence-based reference for the clinic. METHODS:Retrieved from CJFD, VIP, Wanfang database, PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane Library, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about therapeutic efficacy (HbA1c, FPG, 2 hPG) and safety (the incidence of ADR,hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal reaction)of repaglinide combined with metformin(trial group)versus glimepiride combined with metformin(control group)in the treatment of T2DM were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.2 statistical software after data extraction and quality evaluation with Cochrane systematic evaluation manual. RESULTS:A total of 12 RCTs were included,involving 957 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the decrease of 2 hPG in trial group was significantly better than control group,with statistical significance [MD=-0.70,95％CI(-1.02,-0.38),P<0.001]. There was no statistical significance in the decrease of HbA1c [MD=0.00,95％CI(-0.24,0.25),P=0.98] or FPG [MD=0.10,95％CI(-0.17,0.36),P=0.47],the incidence of ADR [OR=0.54,95％CI(0.28,1.06),P=0.07],hypoglycemia [OR=0.52,95％CI(0.13,2.06),P=0.35] or gastrointestinal reactions [OR=0.60,95％CI(0.15,2.41),P=0.47] between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Repaglinide combined with metformin is better than glimepiride combined with metformin in reducing 2 hPG,but both of them have similar safety.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of NOS1AP rs12742393 polymorphism on therapeutic efficacy of repaglinide in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in Chinese Han patients. METHODS:A total of 100 newly-diagnosed T2DM Han patients without any hypoglycemic therapy were selected from the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University during Aug. 2015-Mar. 2017. Based on routine therapy,they were additionally given Repaglinide tablets 1.0 mg,tid,for consecutive 8 weeks at least. PCR-RFLP was used to detect the genotypes at NOS1AP rs12742393 in patients. The levels of FPG,PPG,HbA1c, FINS,PINS,HOMA-IR,TC,TG,HDL-C and LDL-C were observed before and after treatment. RESULTS:There were 1 case of withdrawal and 1 case of follow-up loss,and 98 patients accomplished the study. There were 39 cases of NOS1AP rs12742393 AA genotype,42 cases of AC genotype and 17 cases of CC genotype,the frequency of them were 39.8％,42.9％,17.3％,which were in line with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). After 8 weeks,the levels of FPG,PPG,HbA1c,HOMA-IR,TC and TG were decreased significantly,compared with before treatment;the levels of FINS and PINS were increased significantly, compared with before treatment,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in each index among different genotypes (P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of FPG,PPG and HbA1c in all genotypes,the level of HOMA-IR in AA genotypes,the level of TC in CC genotype,the level of TG in AA and CC genotype were decreased significantly;the level of PINS in all genotype,the level of FINS in AC and CC genotype and the level of HOMA-IR in CC genotype were increased significantly;the levels of FPG and PPG in CC genotype were significantly higher than AA and AC genotype,and the decrease of two indexes than before treatment were significantly less than AA and AC genotype;the level of FPG in AC genotype was significantly higher than AA genotype;the level and increase than before treatment of FINS,and the level of HOMA-IR in AC and CC genotype was significantly higher than AA genotype;there was statistical significance in the change than before treatment of HOMA-IR among all genotypes (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in other indexes among all groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:NOS1AP rs12742393 polymorphism may influence therapeutic efficacy of repaglinide in the treatment of T2DM in Chinese Han patients,and risk gene C may weaken therapeutic efficacy of repaglinide by influencing the levels of FPG,PPG,FINS and HOMA-IR.
ABSTRACT
Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical effect and safety of repaglinide and metformin for treating diabetes mellitus (MD) of secondary failure of sulfonylurea (SFS).Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCT) at home and abroad on the comparison of effect and safety of repaglinide and metformin in treating MD with SFS were retrieved.The modified Jadad scale was employed to evaluate the literature quality.The RevMan5.3.1 software was used for conducting the meta analysis.Results A total of 10 RCT were included.The meta-analysis results showed that compared with metformin for treating MA with SFS,repaglinide decreased the fasting blood glucose effectively (MD=-2.30,95 ％ CI:-2.53--2.06,P＜0.01),increased the fasting C-peptide (MD=0.06,95％CI:0.02-0.11,P=0.01),reduced the postprandial 2 h blood glucose (MD=-2.17,95 ％CI:-2.44-1.89,P＜0.01) and decreased glycosylated hemoglobin (MD=-2.60,95％CI:-3.21--2.00,P＜0.01) as well as the adverse reactions (RR=0.05,95％CI:0.02-0.09,P＜0.01).However,there was no statistical difference in fasting insulin between the repaglinide and metformin groups (MD=0.18,95％CI:-0.18-0.54,P=0.32).Conclusion Currently evidences suggest that repaglinide is superior to metformin for treating MD with SFS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical effect of insulin detemir combined with repaglinide in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods From January 2016 to July 2017,100 patients with T2DM in the First People＇s Hospital of Jiande were randomly divided into the observation group and control group according to the digital table,with 50 cases in each group.The control group was treated by low neutral protamine zinc human insulin( N) and repaglinide,the observation group was treated by insulin detemir combined with repaglinide .The clinical treatment effect was compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 96%,which was significantly higher than 78% of the control group,the difference was statistically signifi-cant (χ2＝22.014,P＜0.05).Before treatment,the biochemical indicators between the two groups had no statistically significant differences (t ＝0.125,1.225,0.125,1.225,0.142,all P ＞0.05).After treatment,the biochemical indicators of the observation group were better than those of the control group (t ＝5.064,5.035,5.064,5.035,5.165,all P ＜0.05 ).Conclusion Though insulin detemir combined with repaglinide and traditional insulin combined with repaglinide can lower blood glucose in patients with T 2DM,but the former combination effect is better.
ABSTRACT
@#Present study evaluates efficacy and tolerability of fixed dose combination of Voglibose and Repaglinide in postprandial hyperglycemia (PPHG).A non-randomized, open labeled, non-comparative, multi-centric, study was conducted in 69 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, 53 (76.8%) men and 16 (23.2%) women. Each patient was administered a fixed dose combination of voglibose 0.3mg and repaglinide 1mg twice a day, just before each meal for 90 days. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) and postprandial blood glucose (PPBG) levels were measured at baseline (day zero), on day 30 and on day 90. Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured at baseline and on day 90. There was significant reduction in PPBG (31.2%), FBG (31.6%), and HbA1c (10.3%) on day 90 compared to baseline. Therefore fixed dose combination of voglibose 0.3mg and repaglinide 1mg has a considerable impact on PPBG control. This combination was found to be efficacious in controlling PPHG and no cases of hypoglycemia were reported.

ABSTRACT
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a progressive insulin secretory defect accompanied by resistance to insulin, and thereby making glycemic control a major concern in the treatment of these patients. Oral drug administration, though a popular option for its non-invasiveness, suffer from poor bioavailability. It could be related to the efflux transport of intestinal P-glycoprotein (Pgp). In the present study, we explored the binding interactions of antidiabetic drugs i.e., sulfonylurea drugs (glimepiride, glipizide, glyburide) and rapid acting insulin secretagogues viz., nateglinide, repaglinide and rosiglitazone; and Pgp inhibitors i.e., Generation I (verapamil and tamoxifen), III (tetradrine and tariquidar), and natural inhibitors (fumagillin and piperine) in mouse Pgp model. Our results revealed that fumagillin piperine and verapamil possess maximum interaction energies with Pgp compared to antidiabetic drugs. These observations elucidate the role of fumagillin and piperine as potential natural compounds which could intervene in the efflux action of Pgp in extruding the antidiabetic drugs and may have implications for increasing efficacy of oral antidiabetic therapy.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of glipiaide versus repaglinide in treatment of type 2 diabetes and provide evidence-based reference for the clinical treatment. METHODS:PubMed,EMBase,Medline,Cochrane Li-brary,CJFD,VIP and WanFang database were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled trials(RCT)of the efficacy and safety of glipizide(test group)versus repaglinide(control group)in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. After the quality evaluation and in-formation collection of clinical studies with inclusion criteria,Rev Man 5.2 software was conducted for Meta-analysis. RESULTS:There were totally 10 RCTs,involving 1 022 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that the HbA1c levels [MD=0.43,95%CI (0.20,0.65),P<0.001],2 h postprandial plasma glucose levels [MD=0.49,95% CI(0.04,0.94),P=0.03] and hypoglycemia inci-dence [OR=2.99,95%CI(1.83,4.88),P<0.001] in test group were significantly higher than control group. There was no signifi-cant difference in the fasting plasma glucose level in 2 groups[MD=-0.14,95%CI(-0.44,0.16),P=0.35]. CONCLUSIONS:Re-paglinide has better efficacy and safety than glipizide in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Limited by the methodological quality and sample amount of included studies,it remains to be verified by RCT with large sample,strict design and long-term follow-up.

ABSTRACT
Repaglinide is one of the most commonly used oral antidiabetic drugs. It can lower postprandial plasma glucose by means of initiating early-phase insulin release through closing the ATP-dependent potassium channels. Phamacogenomics is a branch of genetics which deals with the genetic variability in individual responses to drugs and drug metabolism. The progress of phamacogenomic study on repaglinide is summarized in this article.
