Preclinical and clinical research has demonstrated that inhibition of SGLT2, the major pathway of renal glucose reabsorption, leads to increased urinary glucose excretion with concomitant reductions in fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels, HbA1c levels and body mass. In phase I clinical trials in patients with T2DM, once-daily BI-10773 increased urinary glucose excretion resulting in dose-proportional reductions in fasting plasma glucose and mean daily glucose levels. BI-10773 was not associated with significant hypoglycemic episodes or other clinically important adverse events. Because of its mechanism of action, BI-10773 may be combined with other oral antidiabetic agents; indeed, the results of small trials suggested that coadministration of BI-10773 and metformin was safe and well tolerated. In animal studies, BI-10773 correlated with an increase in urinary volume and a reduction in body fat but not water content.

Several age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, and longevity have also been linked to the functions of sirtuins.

Gaucher disease is an inherited defect of lysosomal functions caused by mutations in the GBA1 gene leading to accumulation of glucocerebroside, primarily in macrophages. Gaucher disease is characterized by visceromegaly and skeletal complications, including osteoporosis and painful episodes of osteonecrosis. In vitro studies demonstrated that, following exposure to eliglustat tartrate, the abundance of GM1 and GM3 gangliosides in cultured human erythroleukemia cells and murine melanoma cells was decreased. In vivo, eliglustat tartrate administered to Asp409Val/null mice lowered the concentrations of glucocerebroside in the liver, lung and spleen and reduced the number of Gaucher cells in the liver. In a phase Ib clinical trial in healthy volunteers, plasma glucocerebroside concentrations were decreased after dosing with eliglustat tartrate, and in phase II clinical trials in patients with type 1 (non-neuronopathic) Gaucher disease, spleen and liver volumes were diminished. Patients also demonstrated improved bone mineral density, correction of abnormal bone marrow signal with MRI and normalization of glucocerebroside and ganglioside GM3 levels. Eliglustat tartrate is orally active and, with potent effects on the primary identified molecular target for type 1 Gaucher disease and other glycosphingolipidoses, appears likely to fulfill high expectations for clinical efficacy.</p>","PeriodicalId":10978,"journal":{"name":"Current opinion in investigational drugs","volume":"11 10","pages":"1169-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29304811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, recent data have adequately addressed these concerns. Moreover, the 4-year safety data that are available for women is more than that available for testosterone replacement in men.

HDL and its major protein apolipoprotein A-I (apoAI) are protective against atherosclerosis through several mechanisms, including the ability to mediate reverse cholesterol transport. This review focuses on the preclinical and clinical findings for two types of therapies for the treatment of atherosclerosis: apoAI-containing compounds and apoAI mimetic peptides.
