Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of the present study was to evaluate the Drug utilisation pattern in patients of diabetic nephropathy (stage 1-4) in a tertiary care hospital in South-Asia. METHODS A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the nephrology out-patient-department of a tertiary care hospital in South-Asia. WHO core prescribing, dispensing, and patient care indicators were evaluated, and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) encountered by the patients were analysed for causality, severity, preventability, and outcome. RESULTS The most commonly prescribed antidiabetics in diabetic nephropathy patients were insulin (17.42%), followed by metformin (4.66%). Current drugs of choice SGLT-2 inhibitors were prescribed in a lesser frequency than expected. Loop diuretics and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) were the preferred antihypertensives. The use of ACE inhibitors (1.26%) and ARBs (3.45%) for hypertension was restricted to Stage 1 and 2 nephropathy. The patients were on 6.47 drugs on average. 30.70% of drugs were prescribed by generic names, 59.07% of the drugs were prescribed from the national essential drugs list and 34.03% of the prescribed drugs were supplied by the hospital. CTCAE grade 1 (68.60%) and grade 2 (22.09%) ADR severity was the highest. CONCLUSIONS Prescribing patterns in patients of diabetic nephropathy were adapted from relevant medical evidence, affordability and availability of the drugs. Generic prescribing, availability of drugs and ADR preventability in the hospital have a broad scope for improvement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Based on pharmacological properties and results from clinical studies, teneligliptin has a great potential to be used as an alternate-day therapy and also the daily dose can be reduced to 10 mg. Clinical data also suggest its excellent efficacy and safety among older subjects. AREAS COVERED We have reviewed and discussed potential approaches using teneligliptin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) including alternate-day therapy and reduction of dose from 20 mg to 10 mg per day. We have also discussed the potential of teneligliptin to address the needs of older patients with T2DM. EXPERT OPINION It is an excellent option for use in older patients as studies in the geriatric population have shown encouraging results. Teneligliptin has a desirable pharmacokinetic profile that makes it a potential drug for use on an alternate-day basis. Teneligliptin has shown anti-diabetic efficacy even at a dose of 10 mg. These approaches may improve treatment satisfaction and patient compliance and can lower the cost; however, it is crucial to identify the subset of T2DM patients who can obtain maximum benefits. To verify these effects, large clinical investigations need to be planned and robust clinical evidence should be generated.

Abstract
Background Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is an important side effect of many commonly used drugs. In this study, we planned to evaluate the effects of teneligliptin (TG), which is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, on cell healing by creating nephrotoxicity models in human renal proximal tubule cell and human embryonic kidney epithelial cells cell lines in-vitro with cisplatin, vancomycin, and gentamicin. Methodology First, we determined the 50% inhibitory concentration doses of nephrotoxic drugs and the nephroprotective dose of TG. Then, we analyzed the difference in cell viability, apoptosis, and oxidative stress (reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) production) between TG-treated and untreated cells after nephrotoxicity occurred. Moreover, we evaluated the expression of kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in cells. Results We found that when cell lines were treated after toxicity was induced with TG, cell viability increased, apoptosis and ROS/RNS production were significantly decreased, and expressions of KIM-1 and NGAL were significantly reduced. Conclusions This study showed that TG has positive effects on the recovery of drug-induced nephrotoxicity in an in-vitro setting.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide. Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors are widely used in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). DPP-4 inhibitors reduce glucose levels by inhibiting degradation of incretins. DPP-4 is a ubiquitous protein with exopeptidase activity that exists in cell membrane-bound and soluble forms. It has been shown that an increased renal DPP-4 activity is associated with the development of DKD. A series of clinical and experimental studies showed that DPP-4 inhibitors have beneficial effects on DKD, independent of their glucose-lowering abilities, which are mediated by anti-fibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative stress properties. In this review article, we highlight the current understanding of the clinical efficacy and the mechanisms underlying renoprotection by DPP-4 inhibitors under diabetic conditions.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2020; 13:4113-4121.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are widely prescribed for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and their glycemic control effects are well studied. However, information regarding the effects of switching DPP-4 inhibitors is limited, especially in older patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We investigated whether switching from linagliptin to teneligliptin decreases blood glucose in older (≥65 years) T2D patients. In total, 164 patients with T2D who switched from linagliptin to teneligliptin for >12 weeks were included and the primary outcome was glycemic changes. RESULTS Switching from linagliptin to teneligliptin ameliorated fasting blood glucose (148.1 ± 47.1 to 139.6 ± 43.4 mg/dL), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; 7.9 ± 1.3 to 7.5 ± 1.2%), and postprandial blood glucose (224.8 ± 77.4 to 205.8 ± 70.8 mg/dL) levels (all P < 0.05). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration was reduced while liver and kidney functions were maintained. Subgroup analysis showed that glucose control improved more in patients with uncontrolled hyperglycemia (HbA1c > 8.0%) and chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate <90 mL/min/1.73m2). Multiple logistic analysis indicated higher baseline HbA1c was the strongest predictor of teneligliptin switching response. CONCLUSION Switching from linagliptin to teneligliptin helps maintain kidney function and reduce blood glucose safely in older patients with T2D.

Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of teneligliptin monotherapy in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with diet and exercise. J Diabetes Investig 2020; 12:537-545. [PMID: 32810383 PMCID: PMC8015819 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.13389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2020] [Revised: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 08/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims/Introduction Although the efficacy of teneligliptin, a highly selective dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor, has been amply studied for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, no clinical trials of teneligliptin have been carried out in China. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of teneligliptin monotherapy compared with a placebo in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with diet and exercise. Materials and Methods This multicenter, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, parallel‐group study, carried out at 42 sites, enrolled type 2 diabetes patients with glycosylated hemoglobin 7.0 to <10.0% and fasting blood glucose <270 mg/dL. Patients were randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to treatment with 20 mg teneligliptin or a placebo (n = 127, each) administered orally once daily before breakfast for 24 weeks. Change in glycosylated hemoglobin from baseline to week 24 was the primary efficacy end‐point. Safety was assessed by the incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions. Results The least square mean (LSM) change in glycosylated hemoglobin from baseline to week 24 was −0.95% with teneligliptin versus −0.14% with a placebo, yielding an LSM difference (teneligliptin vs placebo) of −0.80% (P < 0.0001). For the secondary end‐point, from baseline to week 24, the LSM change in fasting blood glucose was −21.9 mg/dL with teneligliptin versus −1.4 mg/dL with a placebo, yielding an LSM difference (teneligliptin vs placebo) of −20.5 mg/dL (P < 0.0001). The adverse event and adverse drug reaction incidence rates, including hypoglycemia, were similar in both groups. Conclusions At 24 weeks, teneligliptin was generally well tolerated and effective in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with diet and exercise.

Abstract
Banana and plantain contribute significantly to food security and amelioration of malnutrition, earning their status as staples in several localities of tropical and sub-tropical regions. The distribution of metabolites within the various parts also remains as a key essential to their nutritive and therapeutic potential. This study was aimed at evaluating the nutritional and mineral composition of the flesh, peel, and peel extract components of Musa sinensis L. and Musa paradisiaca L. fruits as well as their nutritional and therapeutic potentials. Proximate and antinutritional analyses were carried out using standard analytical methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), while the mineral constituents were evaluated using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Proximate analysis revealed that the flesh and peel of M. sinensis L. and M. paradisiaca L. contain substantial amounts of moisture, fiber, carbohydrates, and low fat content, while minerals K, Mg, Ca, Na, P, and N were substantially concentrated in the peels and peel extracts in particular. The antinutrients alkaloid, oxalate, saponin, and phytate were detected in safe amounts according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The study points out that the peel and its derivative extract, as well as the flesh of M. sinensis L. and M. paradisiaca L. are to be put to more relevant human nutritional and therapeutic use.
