Abstract
Nowadays, the focus of diabetes treatment has switched from lowering the glucose level to preserving glycemic homeostasis and slowing the disease progression. The main pathophysiology of both type 1 diabetes and long-standing type 2 diabetes is pancreatic β-cell mass loss and dysfunction. According to recent research, human pancreatic β-cells possess the ability to proliferate in response to elevated insulin demands. It has been demonstrated that in insulin-resistant conditions in humans, such as obesity or pregnancy, the β-cell mass increases. This ability could be helpful in developing novel treatment approaches to restore a functional β-cell mass. Treatment strategies aimed at boosting β-cell function and mass may be a useful tool for managing diabetes mellitus and stopping its progression. This review outlines the processes of β-cell failure and detail the many β-cell abnormalities that manifest in people with diabetes mellitus. We also go over standard techniques for determining the mass and function of β-cells. Lastly, we provide the therapeutic implications of utilizing antidiabetic drugs in controlling the mass and function of pancreatic β-cells.

Canagliflozin improves fatty acid oxidation and ferroptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells via FOXA1-CPT1A axis in diabetic kidney disease. Mol Cell Endocrinol 2024; 582:112139. [PMID: 38128823 DOI: 10.1016/j.mce.2023.112139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Impaired fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is a metabolic hallmark of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) under diabetic conditions. Disturbed FAO may promote cellular oxidative stress and insufficient energy production, leading to ferroptosis subsequently. Canagliflozin, an effective anti-hyperglycemic drug, may exert potential reno-protective effects by upregulating FAO and inhibiting ferroptosis in RTECs. However, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. The present study is aimed to characterize the detailed mechanisms underlying the impact of canagliflozin on FAO and ferroptosis. Type 2 diabetic db/db mice were administrated daily by gavage with canagliflozin (20 mg/kg/day, 40 mg/kg/day) or positive control drug pioglitazone (10 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks. The results showed canagliflozin effectively improved renal function and structure, reduced lipid droplet accumulation, enhanced FAO with increased ATP contents and CPT1A expression, a rate-limiting enzyme of FAO, and relieved ferroptosis in diabetic mice. Moreover, overexpression of FOXA1, a transcription factor related with lipid metabolism, was observed to upregulate the level of CPT1A, and further alleviated ferroptosis in high glucose cultured HK-2 cells. Whereas FOXA1 knockdown had the opposite effect. Mechanistically, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay results demonstrated that FOXA1 transcriptionally promoted the expression of CPT1A through a sis-inducible element located in the promoter region of the protein. In conclusion, these data suggest that canagliflozin improves FAO and attenuates ferroptosis of RTECs via FOXA1-CPT1A axis in diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) accounts for more than 90% of total diabetes mellitus cases all over the world. Obesity and lack of balance between energy intake and energy expenditure are closely linked to T2DM. Initial pharmaceutical treatment and lifestyle interventions can at times lead to remission but usually help alleviate it to a certain extent and the condition remains, thus, recurrent with the patient being permanently pharmaco-dependent. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent, self-renewing cells with the ability to secrete a variety of biological factors that can help restore and repair injured tissues. MSC-derived exosomes possess these properties of the original stem cells and are potentially able to confer superior effects due to advanced cell-to-cell signaling and the presence of stem cell-specific miRNAs. On the other hand, the repository of antidiabetic agents is constantly updated with novel T2DM disease-modifying drugs, with higher efficacy and increasingly convenient delivery protocols. Delving deeply, this review details the latest progress and ongoing studies related to the amalgamation of stem cells and antidiabetic drugs, establishing how this harmonized approach can exert superior effects in the management and potential reversal of T2DM.

Abstract
Lobeglitazone is a newer oral hypoglycemic agent that has been tested in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aim to conduct a narrative review to find out the therapeutic benefits of lobeglitazone in patients with T2DM. We scientifically searched the electronic database of PubMed from inception until September 12, 2023, using Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) keywords. Additionally, we searched for pre-clinical trials related to lobeglitazone. We retrieved all available results of phase 1 to phase 3 studies of lobeglitazone in T2DM. Subsequently, we reviewed the results narratively. Three double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies and a phase 3 trial of lobeglitazone showed that 0.5 mg daily dose exhibits effective therapeutic activity in glycemic, lipid, and hepatic control, and is also used as a secondary treatment in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Lobeglitazone exhibits as much antidiabetic activity as other thiazolidinediones such as pioglitazone and rosiglitazone. Side effects of lobeglitazone included peripheral edema, weight gain, and bone mineral density, which did not require hospitalization for these effects. This article highlights the pharmacological, pre-clinical, clinical, and safety pharmacology of novel thiazolidinedione lobeglitazone.

Abstract
Thiazolidinedione, an insulin sensitizer, has beneficial effects on glucose metabolism; however, there are concerns regarding weight gain and heart failure. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors can reduce body weight, increase diuresis, and play a protective role in heart failure. We examined the complementary effects of dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, and lobeglitazone, a thiazolidinedione, in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice. We treated HFD-induced obese mice with vehicle, dapagliflozin, lobeglitazone, and their combination for 12 weeks. Oral glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance tests were performed after 12-week treatment, and body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry before and after treatment. We analyzed oxygen consumption rate (OCR) using 3T3-L1 cells after treatment of β-hydroxybutyrate and/or lobeglitazone. Treatment with a combination of dapagliflozin and lobeglitazone resulted in a significant decrease in postprandial hyperglycemia compared with dapagliflozin monotherapy, but not compared with lobeglitazone monotherapy. The addition of dapagliflozin to lobeglitazone treatment did not attenuate weight gain compared with lobeglitazone monotherapy in this study. However, this combination prevented the increase of organ weight of liver and heart, and OCR in 3T3-L1 cells was increased after treatment with a combination of β-hydroxybutyrate and lobeglitazone compared to lobeglitazone monotherapy. We confirmed the beneficial effect of lobeglitazone on glucose metabolism; however, we did not find any beneficial effect of dapagliflozin on body weight in HFD-induced obese mice. However, the protective effects of dapagliflozin and lobeglitazone combined therapy on the liver, heart, energy consumption, and β-cell senescence are worth investigating in clinical trials.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is known as adult-onset diabetes, but recently, T2D has increased in the number of younger people, becoming a major clinical burden in human society. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of Bifidobacterium and Lactiplantibacillus strains derived from the feces of 20 healthy humans on T2D development and to understand the mechanism underlying any positive effects of probiotics. We found that Bifidobacterium longum NBM7-1 (Chong Kun Dang strain 1; CKD1) and Lactiplantibacillus rhamnosus NBM17-4 (Chong Kun Dang strain 2; CKD2) isolated from the feces of healthy Korean adults (n = 20) have anti-diabetic effects based on the insulin sensitivity. During the oral gavage for 8 weeks, T2D mice were supplemented with anti-diabetic drugs (1.0-10 mg/kg body weight) to four positive and negative control groups or four probiotics (200 uL; 1 × 109 CFU/mL) to groups separately or combined to the four treatment groups (n = 6 per group). While acknowledging the relatively small sample size, this study provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of B. longum NBM7-1 and L. rhamnosus NBM17-4 in mitigating T2D development. The animal gene expression was assessed using a qRT-PCR, and metabolic parameters were assessed using an ELISA assay. We demonstrated that B. longum NBM7-1 in the CKD1 group and L. rhamnosus NBM17-4 in the CKD2 group alleviate T2D development through the upregulation of IL-22, which enhances insulin sensitivity and pancreatic functions while reducing liver steatosis. These findings suggest that B. longum NBM7-1 and L. rhamnosus NBM17-4 could be the candidate probiotics for the therapeutic treatments of T2D patients as well as the prevention of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Lobeglitazone (LGZ), a newly researched thiazolidinedione (TZD) thought to have lesser side effects compared with pioglitazone (PGZ), has been recently approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in India. We aim to conduct an updated systematic review of LGZ to critically appraise its efficacy and safety in the context of PGZ. METHODS A systematic literature search was carried out in the electronic database of PubMed until Jan 15, 2023, using specific keywords and MeSH terms. All studies which evaluated LGZ in people with T2D were retrieved and data were synthesized with regard to its efficacy and safety. A comparative critical appraisal was additionally made in the context of PGZ in T2D. RESULTS Four randomized controlled, one prospective observational, and two real-world studies have evaluated the safety and efficacy of LGZ against placebo or active comparators either as monotherapy or in combination therapy. HbA1c reduction with LGZ 0.5 mg was superior to the placebo but similar to PGZ 15 mg and sitagliptin (SITA) 100 mg. Weight gain with LGZ was significantly higher compared to placebo and SITA but similar to PGZ. Edema was more frequently observed with LGZ compared to placebo, PGZ, and SITA. CONCLUSION No substantial evidence is yet available that suggests LGZ could be a better alternative to PGZ both in the context of glycemic or extra-glycemic effects. At least in the short-term, adverse events of LGZ are indifferent from PGZ. More data is additionally needed to claim any advantage of LGZ over PGZ.

Abstract
More than 500 million adults suffer from diabetes worldwide, and this number is constantly increasing. Diabetes causes 5 million deaths per year and huge healthcare costs per year. β-cell death is the major cause of type 1 diabetes. β-cell secretory dysfunction plays a key role in the development of type 2 diabetes. A loss of β-cell mass due to apoptotic death has also been proposed as critical for the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Death of β-cells is caused by multiple factors including pro-inflammatory cytokines, chronic hyperglycemia (glucotoxicity), certain fatty acids at high concentrations (lipotoxicity), reactive oxygen species, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and islet amyloid deposits. Unfortunately, none of the currently available antidiabetic drugs favor the maintenance of endogenous β-cell functional mass, indicating an unmet medical need. Here, we comprehensively review over the last ten years the investigation and identification of molecules of pharmacological interest for protecting β-cells against dysfunction and apoptotic death which could pave the way for the development of innovative therapies for diabetes.

Abstract
Despite the advancements in the management of Diabetes mellitus, the design and synthesis of drug molecule which ameliorates the hyperglycemia and associated secondary complications in diabetic patients, still remains a challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization and anti-diabetic evaluation of pyrimidine-thiazolidinedione derivatives. The synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR and Mass Spectroscopic analytical techniques. The in-silico ADME studies depicted that the compounds were within the permissible limits of the Lipinski's rule of five. The compounds 6e and 6m showing the best results in OGTT were evaluated for in-vivo anti-diabetic evaluation in STZ induced diabetic rats. Administration of 6e and 6m for four weeks decreased the blood glucose levels significantly. Compound 6e (4.5 mg/kg p.o.) was the most potent compound of the series. It reduced the level of blood glucose to 145.2 ± 1.35 compared to the standard Pioglitazone (150.2 ± 1.06). Moreover, the 6e and 6m treated group did not show increase in bodyweight. The biochemical estimations showed that the levels of ALT, ASP, ALP, urea, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, total protein and LDH restored to normal in 6e and 6m treated groups as compared to STZ control group. The histopathological studies supported the results obtained in biochemical estimations. Both the compounds did not show any toxicity. Moreover, the histopathological studies of pancreas, liver, heart and kidney revealed that the structural integrity of these tissues restored to almost normal in 6e and 6m treated groups as compared to STZ control group. Based upon these findings it can be concluded that the pyrimidine-based thiazolidinedione derivatives represent novel anti-diabetic agents with least side effects.

AIM This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lobeglitazone as compared to the standard of care (SOC) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Databases were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials. The primary outcome was the comparison of the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) level after 24 weeks. Pooled mean differences and odds ratios were calculated using random-effects models. RESULTS Of 267 studies that were screened, four were included. Treatment with adjunct lobeglitazone showed a reduction in the HbA1C level [mean difference: -0.23% (95% CI: -0.62 to 0.16); p = 0.24; i2: 87%; moderate GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and. Evaluation) of evidence], fasting blood glucose level [mean difference: -7.12 mg/dl (95% CI: -20.09 to 5.85); p = 0.28; i2: 87%; moderate GRADE of evidence], and lipid profile as compared to those following treatment with the SOC; however, the changes were not statistically significant. The risk of hypoglycemia was significantly lower [odds ratio: 0.24 (95% CI: 0.08 to 0.70); p < 0.05; i2: 0%; moderate GRADE of evidence] without any significant difference in the risk of drug-related adverse events [odds ratio: 1.59 (95% CI: 0.87 to 2.93); p = 0.13; i2: 0%; moderate GRADE of evidence] following treatment with lobeglitazone as compared to those following treatment with the SOC. CONCLUSION Treatment with adjunct lobeglitazone showed changes in the blood glycemic status and lipid profile similar to SOC in patients with T2DM, and the results were not statistically significant. Lobeglitazone was well tolerated; its safety profile was comparable to SOC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) have been associated with various safety concerns including weight gain, bladder cancer, and congestive heart failure (CHF). This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of lobeglitazone, a novel TZD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in real practice. METHODS In this non-interventional, multi-center, retrospective, and observational study conducted at 15 tertiary or secondary referral hospitals in Korea, a total of 2,228 patients with T2DM who received lobeglitazone 0.5 mg for more than 1 year were enrolled. RESULTS Overall adverse events (AEs) occurred in 381 patients (17.10%) including edema in 1.97% (n=44). Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases were identified in 0.81% (n=18) and 0.81% (n=18), respectively. One case of CHF was reported as an AE. Edema occurred in 1.97% (n=44) of patients. Hypoglycemia occurred in 2.47% (n=55) of patients. Fracture occurred in 1.17% (n=26) of all patients. Lobeglitazone significantly decreased HbA1c level, resulting in a mean treatment difference of -1.05%± 1.35% (P<0.001), and decreased total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, it increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, regardless of statin administration. The patients who received lobeglitazone 0.5 mg showed an apparent reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline during the first 6 months of treatment. The HbA1c levels remained stable between months 6 and 42. CONCLUSION Lobeglitazone has long-term safety profile, good glycemic-lowering effect and long-term durability of glycemic control in real-world clinical settings.

A double-blind, Randomized controlled trial on glucose-lowering EFfects and safety of adding 0.25 or 0.5 mg lobeglitazone in type 2 diabetes patients with INadequate control on metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor therapy: REFIND study. Diabetes Obes Metab 2022; 24:1800-1809. [PMID: 35581902 PMCID: PMC9541308 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Revised: 04/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To compare the efficacy and safety of adding low-dose lobeglitazone (0.25 mg/day) or standard-dose lobeglitazone (0.5 mg/day) to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with inadequate glucose control on metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP4) inhibitor therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this phase 4, multicentre, double-blind, randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial, patients with T2DM insufficiently controlled by metformin and DPP4 inhibitor combination therapy were randomized to receive either low-dose or standard-dose lobeglitazone. The primary endpoint was non-inferiority of low-dose lobeglitazone in terms of glycaemic control, expressed as the difference in mean glycated haemoglobin levels at week 24 relative to baseline values and compared with standard-dose lobeglitazone, using 0.5% non-inferiority margin. RESULTS At week 24, the mean glycated haemoglobin levels were 6.87 ± 0.54% and 6.68 ± 0.46% in low-dose and standard-dose lobeglitazone groups, respectively (p = .031). The between-group difference was 0.18% (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.345), showing non-inferiority of the low-dose lobeglitazone. Mean body weight changes were significantly greater in the standard-dose group (1.36 ± 2.23 kg) than in the low-dose group (0.50 ± 1.85 kg) at week 24. The changes in HOMA-IR, lipid profile and liver enzyme levels showed no significant difference between the groups. Overall treatment-emergent adverse events (including weight gain, oedema and hypoglycaemia) occurred more frequently in the standard-dose group. CONCLUSIONS Adding low-dose lobeglitazone to metformin and DPP4 inhibitor combination resulted in a non-inferior glucose-lowering outcome and fewer adverse events compared with standard-dose lobeglitazone. Therefore, low-dose lobeglitazone might be one option for individualized strategy in patients with T2DM.

Eur J Pharmacol 2022; 928:175122. [PMID: 35764131 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2022.175122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP or amylin) is a hormone co-secreted with insulin by pancreatic β-cells, and is the main component of islet amyloid. Islet amyloid is found in the pancreas of patients with type 2 diabetes and may be involved in β-cell dysfunction and death, observed in this disease. Thus, counteracting islet amyloid toxicity represents a therapeutic approach to preserve β-cell mass and function. In this sense, thiazolidinediones (TZDs), as rosiglitazone, have shown protective effects against other harmful insults to β-cells. For this reason, we investigated whether rosiglitazone could protect β-cells from hIAPP-induced cell death and the underlying mechanisms mediating such effect. Here, we show that rosiglitazone improved the viability of hIAPP-exposed INS-1E cells. This benefit is not dependent on the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) since rosiglitazone did not modulate IDE protein content and activity. However, rosiglitazone inhibited hIAPP fibrillation and decreased hIAPP-induced expression of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) (CTL 100.0 ± 8.4; hIAPP 182.7 ± 19.1; hIAPP + RGZ 102.8 ± 9.5), activating transcription factor-4 (ATF4) (CTL 100.0 ± 3.1; hIAPP 234.9 ± 19.3; hIAPP + RGZ 129.6 ± 3.0) and phospho-eukaryotic initiation factor 2-alpha (p-eIF2α) (CTL 100.0 ± 31.1; hIAPP 234.1 ± 36.2; hIAPP + RGZ 150.4 ± 18.0). These findings suggest that TZDs treatment may be a promising approach to preserve β-cell mass and function by inhibiting islet amyloid formation and decreasing endoplasmic reticulum stress hIAPP-induced.

Impact of Molecular Symmetry/Asymmetry on Insulin-Sensitizing Treatments for Type 2 Diabetes. Symmetry (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
Although the advantages and disadvantages of asymmetrical thiazolidinediones as insulin-sensitizers have been well-studied, the relevance of symmetry and asymmetry for thiazolidinediones and biguanides has scarcely been explored. Regarding symmetrical molecules, only one thiazolidinedione and no biguanides have been evaluated and proposed as an antihyperglycemic agent for treating type 2 diabetes. Since molecular structure defines physicochemical, pharmacological, and toxicological properties, it is important to gain greater insights into poorly investigated patterns. For example, compounds with intrinsic antioxidant properties commonly have low toxicity. Additionally, the molecular symmetry and asymmetry of ligands are each associated with affinity for certain types of receptors. An advantageous response obtained in one therapeutic application may imply a poor or even adverse effect in another. Within the context of general patterns, each compound must be assessed individually. The current review aimed to summarize the available evidence for the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing symmetrical and asymmetrical thiazolidinediones and biguanides as insulin sensitizers in patients with type 2 diabetes. Other applications of these same compounds are also examined as well as the various uses of additional symmetrical molecules. More research is needed to exploit the potential of symmetrical molecules as insulin sensitizers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This review aims to summarize the current management of type 2 diabetes principles, including oral hypoglycemic agents, types of insulin administration, diet maintenance, and various molecular approaches. METHODS A literature search was conducted in different databases such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Web of Science by using the following keywords: type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), first-line and second-line treatment, oral hypoglycemic agents, insulin administration, diet/nutritional therapy, gene and stem cell therapy, and diabetic complications. RESULTS The first-line treatment of T2DM includes administering oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) and second-line treatment by insulin therapy and some OHAs like Sulfonylurea's (SU). The oral hypoglycemic or oral antidiabetic drugs have the function of lowering glucose in the blood. Insulin therapy is recommended for people with A1C levels > 7.0, and insulin administration is evolved drastically from the syringe, pump, pen, inhalation, insulin jet, and patch. The use of OHAs and insulin therapy during glycemic control has a severe effect on weight gain and other side effects. Hence, diet maintenance (macro and micronutrients) and nutritional therapy guidelines were also reviewed/recommended for safe T2DM management. Besides, the recent progress in molecular approaches that focuses on identifying new targets for T2DM (i.e.) consisting of gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and the modulation of insulin signaling pathways for the regulation of glucose storage and uptake also discussed. CONCLUSION The analysis of all these key factors is necessary to develop a potential agent to cure T2DM and suggest that a combination of therapies will pave the way for advanced management of T2DM.

Abstract
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) and pathologies associated with metabolic dysregulations a worldwide growing problem. Our previous study demonstrated that pioglitazone (PGZ) has beneficial effects on metabolic syndrome associated disturbances in the heart. However, mechanism mediating the molecular alterations of Ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy has not been investigated in rat pancreas with metabolic syndrome. For this reason, we first aimed to detect whether MetS effects on the expression of UPS (p97/VCP, SVIP, Ubiquitin) and autophagic (p62, LC3) proteins in rat pancreas. The second aim of the study was to find impact of pioglitazone on the expression of UPS and autophagic proteins in MetS rat pancreas. To answer these questions, metabolic syndrome induced rats were used as a model and treated with pioglitazone for 2 weeks. Pancreatic tissue injuries, fibrosis and lipid accumulation were evaluated histopathologically in control, MetS and MetS-PGZ groups. Apoptosis and cell proliferation of pancreatic islet cells were assessed in all groups. UPS and autophagic protein expressions of pancreas in all groups were detected by using immunohistochemistry, double-immunfluorescence and Western blotting. Compared with the controls, the rat fed with high sucrose exhibited signs of metabolic syndrome, such as higher body weight, insulin resistance, higher triglyceride level and hyperglycaemia. MetS rats showed pancreatic tissue degeneration, fibrosis and lipid accumulation when their pancreas were examined with Hematoxilen-eozin and Mallory trichrome staining. Metabolic, histopathologic parameters and cell proliferation showed greater improvement in MetS-PGZ rats and pioglitazone decreased apoptosis of islet cells. Moreover, SVIP, ubiquitin, LC3 and p62 expressions were significantly increased while only p97/VCP expression was significantly decreased in MetS-rat pancreas compared to control. PGZ treatment significantly decreased the MetS-induced increases in autophagy markers. Additionally, UPS and autophagy markers were found to colocalizated with insulin and glucagon. Colocalization ratio of UPS markers with insulin showed significant decrease in MetS rats and PGZ increased this ratio, whereas LC3-insulin colocalization displayed significant increase in MetS rats and PGZ reversed this effect. In conclusion, PGZ improved the pancreatic tissue degeneration by increasing the level of p97/VCP and decreasing autophagic proteins, SVIP and ubiquitin expressions in MetS-rats. Moreover, PGZ has an effect on the colocalization ratio of UPS and autophagy markers with insulin.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) and diabetes mellitus share similar pathophysiological characteristics, genetic and environmental factors. It has been reported that people with diabetes mellitus appear to have a remarkable higher incidence of PD than age matched non diabetic individuals. Evidences suggest that use of antidiabetic glitazone is associated with a diminished risk of PD incidence in patients with diabetes. This study examined the effect of lobeglitazone, a member of thiazolidinedione class, in rat model of Parkinson's disease with diabetes co-morbidity. Rats received either rotenone and/or a combination of streptozocin and a high calorie diet for disease induction and they were treated with different doses of lobeglitazone or its vehicle. Behavioral tests comprising rotarod, bar test and rearing test were conducted to evaluate the motor function. Changes in the level tyrosine hydroxylase, TNF-α and NF-κB were analyzed using ELISA. In the same brain regions the possible changes in PPAR-γ receptor level were evaluated. Findings showed that although lobeglitazone tends to reverse the effect of rotenone in animals with diabetes, it was just able to prevent partly the motor defect in rearing test. Furthermore, lobeglitazone (1 mg/kg) reversed, in substantia nigra and striatum, the changes in tyrosine hydroxylase, TNF-α, NF-κB and PPAR-γ receptor content induced by rotenone in rats with diabetic condition. Although other preclinical studies are needed, these findings suggest that lobeglitazone is a promising neuroprotective candidate for clinical trials for PD patients with diabetes co-morbidity.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. Among available oral antidiabetic agents, only the thiazolidinediones (TZDs) primarily target insulin resistance. TZDs improve insulin sensitivity by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ. Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone have been used widely for T2DM treatment due to their potent glycemic efficacy and low risk of hypoglycemia. However, their use has decreased because of side effects and safety issues, such as cardiovascular concerns and bladder cancer. Lobeglitazone (Chong Kun Dang Pharmaceutical Corporation), a novel TZD, was developed to meet the demands for an effective and safe TZD. Lobeglitazone shows similar glycemic efficacy to pioglitazone, with a lower effective dose, and favorable safety results. It also showed pleiotropic effects in preclinical and clinical studies. In this article, we summarize the pharmacologic, pharmacokinetic, and clinical characteristics of lobeglitazone.

DRUG DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THERAPY 2021; 15:1725-1734. [PMID: 33953542 PMCID: PMC8089085 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s302215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Combination therapy with insulin-independent sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and thiazolidinedione drugs, such as lobeglitazone, has been reported to elicit potential additive efficacy in glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) drug–drug interactions between empagliflozin and lobeglitazone in healthy subjects. Subjects and Methods A randomized, open-label, multiple-dose study was conducted in 30 healthy subjects using a three-treatment, six-sequence, three-way crossover design. Subjects received one of the following treatments once daily for 5 days in each period: 25 mg empagliflozin, 0.5 mg lobeglitazone sulfate, or a combination. Serial blood sampling before every dose and up to 24 h after the last dose was performed during each treatment period. The PK parameters were estimated using noncompartmental methods with the plasma empagliflozin and lobeglitazone concentrations. The absence of a PK interaction was construed as the 90% confidence interval (90% CI) of maximum concentration at steady state (Cmax,ss) and area under the concentration-time curve over the dosing interval (AUCtau) for combination therapy-to-monotherapy ratios within the limits of 0.80–1.25. Results The steady-state plasma empagliflozin and lobeglitazone concentration-time profiles of combination therapy and monotherapy were comparable in the 25 subjects who completed the study. Coadministration of empagliflozin with lobeglitazone did not affect empagliflozin PK (with 90% CIs of 0.956–1.150 and 0.945–1.133 for Cmax,ss and AUCtau, respectively). Likewise, empagliflozin did not affect lobeglitazone Cmax,ss or AUCtau (with 90% CIs of 0.869–0.995 and 0.851–1.018, respectively). All treatment groups tolerated mild adverse events well. Conclusion The lack of PK interactions between lobeglitazone and empagliflozin in combination therapy, along with their good tolerability, indicates that the two drugs can be coadministered without dose adjustment. Trial Registration Number NCT02854748, Registered on August 7, 2016.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of lobeglitazone on albuminuria at 24 weeks of follow-up in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with pioglitazone using data from a randomized, double-blinded phase III trial. METHODS In the phase III trial, patients who were inadequately controlled with metformin received 0.5 mg of lobeglitazone or 15 mg of pioglitazone for 24 weeks. Post hoc, exploratory analysis was used to investigate mean changes from baseline in the urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) between the lobeglitazone (N = 104) and pioglitazone (N = 101) treatment groups. RESULTS After 24 weeks of treatment, UACR was slightly decreased in the lobeglitazone group (- 4.3 mg/g creatinine [Cr]) compared to baseline and slightly increased in the pioglitazone group (5.2 mg/g Cr), with no change in the estimated glomerular filtration rate in either group; this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.476). The incidence of new-onset microalbuminuria (2.4%) and the progression of albuminuria by > 1 stage (2.9%) in the lobeglitazone group were lower than the respective values in the pioglitazone group (6.8 and 6.1%, respectively). Of the patients in the lobeglitazone group, 50% exhibited regression to normoalbuminuria, compared to 39.3% of the patients in the pioglitazone. In subjects in the lobeglitazone group with micro- and macroalbuminuria, UACR tended to be more decreased and HbA1c was more reduced compared to those with normoalbuminuria (P = 0.014). CONCLUSION Lobeglitazone had a tendency to improve albuminuria in patients with T2DM and had comparable effects on albuminuria as pioglitazone which has demonstrated beneficial effects.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the hypoglycemic activity and potential mechanism of tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives ZG02 in high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes model. METHODS C57BL/6 mice (n=30) were randomly assigned to three groups: control group (n=10) was fed with normal diet, the diabetes group (n=10) was fed with high-fat diet for eight weeks followed by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (25 mg/kg) and the ZG02 group (n=10) injected intraperitoneally with ZG02 (30 mg/kg/day) for two weeks after successful modeling. The changes of weight, fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance and fasting blood insulin levels in each group were evaluated. In addition, we also assessed the expression level of total AMPK, phosphorylation AMPK, SIRT1, PGC-1 and the activity of G6PC in liver. RESULTS The results demonstrated that ZG02 could significantly antagonize the high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced fasting hyperglycemia, restore fasting blood insulin levels and also improve activity of G6PC in liver. The results from Western blot indicated that ZG02 significantly restored the expression level of phosphorylation AMPK, Sirt1 and PGC-1. CONCLUSION ZG02 improve hepatic glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity via activation AMPK/Sirt1 signaling pathways in type 2 diabetes mice model.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of lobeglitazone compared with sitagliptin as an add-on to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes as well as other components of metabolic syndrome. Patients inadequately controlled by metformin were randomly assigned to lobeglitazone (0.5 mg, n = 121) or sitagliptin (100 mg, n = 126) for 24 weeks. The mean changes in HbA1c of the lobeglitazone and sitagliptin groups were -0.79% and -0.86%, respectively; the between-group difference was 0.08% (95% confidence interval, -0.14% to 0.30%), showing non-inferiority. The proportion of patients having two or more factors of other metabolic syndrome components decreased to a greater extent in the lobeglitazone group than in the sitagliptin group (-11.9% vs. -4.8%; P < .0174). Favourable changes in the lipid metabolism were also observed with lobeglitazone, which had a similar safety profile to sitagliptin. Lobeglitazone was comparable with sitagliptin as an add-on to metformin in terms of efficacy and safety.

Tectorigenin enhances PDX1 expression and protects pancreatic β-cells by activating ERK and reducing ER stress. J Biol Chem 2020; 295:12975-12992.

Abstract
Pancreas/duodenum homeobox protein 1 (PDX1) is an important transcription factor that regulates islet β-cell proliferation, differentiation, and function. Reduced expression of PDX1 is thought to contribute to β-cell loss and dysfunction in diabetes. Thus, promoting PDX1 expression can be an effective strategy to preserve β-cell mass and function. Previously, we established a PDX1 promoter-dependent luciferase system to screen agents that can promote PDX1 expression. Natural compound tectorigenin (TG) was identified as a promising candidate that could enhance the activity of the promoter for the PDX1 gene. In this study, we first demonstrated that TG could promote the expression of PDX1 in β-cells via activating extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK), as indicated by increased phosphorylation of ERK; this effect was observed under either normal or glucotoxic/lipotoxic conditions. We then found that TG could suppress induced apoptosis and improved the viability of β-cells under glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity by activation of ERK and reduction of reactive oxygen species and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. These effects held true in vivo as well: prophylactic or therapeutic use of TG could obviously inhibit ER stress and decrease islet β-cell apoptosis in the pancreas of mice given a high-fat/high-sucrose diet (HFHSD), thus dramatically maintaining or restoring β-cell mass and islet size, respectively. Accordingly, both prophylactic and therapeutic use of TG improved HFHSD-impaired glucose metabolism in mice, as evidenced by ameliorating hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance. Taken together, TG, as an agent promoting PDX1 expression exhibits strong protective effects on islet β-cells both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus require strict blood glucose control, and combination therapy with a thiazolidinedione and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, such as lobeglitazone and sitagliptin, is one of the recommended treatments. The objective of this study was to investigate a possible pharmacokinetic interaction between lobeglitazone and sitagliptin after multiple oral administrations in healthy Korean men. METHODS Two randomized, open-label, multiple-dose, 2-way crossover studies were conducted simultaneously in healthy men. In study 1, men were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 sequences, and 1 of the following treatments was administered in each period: 1 tablet of lobeglitazone sulfate (0.5 mg) once daily for 5 days and or 1 tablet each of lobeglitazone sulfate (0.5 mg) and sitagliptin (100 mg) once daily for 5 days. In study 2, men were also randomly assigned to 1 of 2 sequences and the treatments were as follows: 1 tablet of sitagliptin (100 mg) once daily for 5 days or 1 tablet each of sitagliptin (100 mg) and lobeglitazone sulfate (0.5 mg) once daily for 5 days. Serial blood samples were collected up to 48 h after dosing on the fifth day. Plasma drug concentrations were measured by LC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters, including Cmax,ss and AUC0-τ , were determined by noncompartmental analysis. The geometric least-square mean (GLSM) ratios and associated 90% CIs of log-transformed Cmax,ss and AUC0-τ for separate or coadministration were calculated to evaluate pharmacokinetic interactions. FINDINGS Nineteen men from study 1 and 17 from study 2 completed the pharmacokinetic sampling and were included in the analyses. The GLSM ratios of Cmax,ss and AUC0-τ were 0.9494 (95% CI, 0.8798-1.0243) and 1.0106 (95% CI, 0.9119-1.1198) for lobeglitazone (from study 1) and 1.1694 (95% CI, 1.0740-1.2732) and 1.0037 (95% CI, 0.9715-1.0369) for sitagliptin (from study 2), respectively. IMPLICATIONS Except for the slight 17% increase in the sitagliptin Cmax,ss value, the pharmacokinetic parameters of lobeglitazone and sitagliptin met the pharmacokinetic equivalent criteria when administered separately or in combination. The increase in Cmax of sitagliptin when coadministered with lobeglitazone would not be clinically significant in practice. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02824874 and NCT02827890.
