Potential of liraglutide in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes Deacon CFVasc Health Risk Manag 2009[]; 5 (1): 199-211Liraglutide is a long-acting analog of GLP-1, being developed by Novo Nordisk and currently undergoing regulatory review for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Upon injection, liraglutide binds non-covalently to albumin, giving it a pharmacokinetic profile suitable for once-daily administration. In clinical trials of up to 1 year duration, liraglutide has been demonstrated to have beneficial effects on islet cell function, leading to improvements in glycemic control. Both fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations are lowered, and are associated with lasting reductions in HbA1c levels. Liraglutide is effective as monotherapy and in combination therapy with oral antidiabetic drugs, and reduces HbA1c by up to approximately 1.5% from baseline (8.2%-8.4%). Because of the glucose-dependency of its action, there is a low incidence of hypoglycemia. Liraglutide is associated with body weight loss, and reductions in systolic blood pressure have been observed throughout the clinical trials. The most common adverse events reported with liraglutide are gastrointestinal (nausea, vomiting and diarrhea). These tend to be most pronounced during the initial period of therapy and decline with time. Further clinical experience with liraglutide will reveal its long-term durability, safety and efficacy.|Amino Acid Sequence[MESH]|Blood Glucose/drug effects[MESH]|Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2/blood/*drug therapy[MESH]|Drug Administration Schedule[MESH]|Drug Therapy, Combination[MESH]|Glucagon-Like Peptide 1/administration & dosage/adverse effects/*analogs & derivatives/pharmacokinetics/therapeutic use[MESH]|Glycated Hemoglobin/metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypoglycemic Agents/administration & dosage/adverse effects/pharmacokinetics/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Injections, Subcutaneous[MESH]|Liraglutide[MESH]|Molecular Sequence Data[MESH]|Time Factors[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
