|
| DrugBank Description: | Lixisenatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is sold under the brand name Adlyxin by Sanofi-Aventis. Adlyxin recieved FDA approval July 28, 2016 . |
| CAS Number: | 320367-13-3 |
| Molecular Weight: | 4858.56 |
| DrugBank Indication: | For use as an antihyperglycemic agent in the treatment of T2DM . |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | Lixisenatide acts as an agonist at the GLP-1 receptor. In the pancreas, this agonism results in increased glucose-stimulated insulin exocytosis by beta islet cells. This produces a reduction in blood glucose due to increased glucose uptake by tissues . GLP-1 receptor activation in the GI tract results in delayed gastric emptying which is thought to mediate the effects of lixisenatide on postprandial blood glucose. |
| DrugBank MoA: | The activation of the GLP-1 receptor by lixisenatide results in the activation of adenylyl cyclase . This increases the concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the cell leading to the activation of protein kinase A (PKA) as well as Epac1 and Epac2. PKA, Epac1, and Epac2 are involved the in release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum which is known as the "amplification" pathway which increases insulin release when the triggering pathway is activated. By activating this amplification pathway lixisenatide increases glucose stimulated insulin secretion. |
