Exenatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog^Label. It functions to activate the GLP-1 receptor and increases insulin secretion, decrease glucagon secretion, and slow gastric emptying to improve glycemic control^Label. Exenatide was given FDA approval on April 28, 2005⁴.

Pharmacology

Indication

Exenatide is indicated for improving glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus along with diet and exercise^Label.

Associated Conditions

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Pharmacodynamics

When patients take exenatide the body's natural response to glucose is modulated^Label. More insulin and less glucagon are released in response to glucose, though in cases of hypoglycemia a normal amount of glucagon is released^Label. Exenatide also slows gastric emptying, leading to a slower and prolonged release of glucose into the systemic circulation^Label. Together these effects prevent hyper and hypoglycemia^Label.

Mechanism of action

Exenatide is a human glucacon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) receptor agonist^Label. By activating this receptor, insulin secretion is increased and glucagon secretion is decreased in a glucose dependant manner^Label. Exenatide also slows gastric emptying and decreases food intake^Label. These effects work synergistically to improve glycemic control by reducing the likelihood of hyper and hypoglycemia^Label.

Absorption

Exenatide reaches a peak plasma concentration in 2.1 hours^Label. Because exenatide is administerd subcutaneously, the bioavailability is 1¹.

Volume of distribution

28.3L^Label.

Protein binding

Protein binding of exenatide has not been determined⁵.

Metabolism

Exenatide is filtered through the glomerulus before being degraded to smaller peptides and amino acids by dipeptidyl peptidase-4, metalloproteases, endopeptidase 24-11, amino proteases, and serine proteases^Label,3. It is currently believed that the metalloproteases are responsible for most of the degradation of exenatide³. Exenatide is metabolised to small peptides <3 amino acids in length by enzymes in the kidney².

Route of elimination

Exenatide is mainly eliminated by glomerular filtration followed by proteolysis before finally being eliminated in the urine^Label,2.

Half life

2.4 hours^Label

Clearance

9.1 L/hour^Label.

Toxicity

In animal studies, exenatide was associated with fetal deformities of ribs and vertebrae as well as slowed growth^Label. In humans, uncontrolled hyperglycemia can be associated with an up to 25% risk of miscarriage^Label. No human studies in pregnancy have been performed with exenatide and so exenatide should only be prescribed in pregnancy if the benefit to the mother and fetus outweigh the risks^Label. In mice, exenatide is excreted in the milk at a concentration 2.5% of the plasma concentration though this data may not be applicable to humans^Label. The effect of exenatide on breastfed infants is also unknown and so the risk and benefit of breastfeeding while taking exenatide must be weighed^Label. There is no data for the use of exenatide in pediatric patients^Label. Geriatric patients do not have different results for safety and efficacy of exenatide though caution should still be used in this group as they are at higher risk of renal impairment or other comorbidities that may affect the liklihood of adverse effects^Label. No dosage adjustments are necessary for patients with creatinine clearance ≥50mL/min, though prescribing to patients with creatinine clearance 30-50mL/min should be done cautiously^Label. Exenatide is not recommended for patients with creatinine clearance <30mL/min^Label. Hepatic impairment is not expected to affect clearance of exenatide though no studies have been performed to confirm this^Label.
