Mechanism of Action
Lixisenatide
The activation of the GLP-1 receptor by lixisenatide results in the activation of adenylyl cyclase [19193]. 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.
Insulin glargine
Insulin glargine binds to the insulin receptor (IR), a heterotetrameric protein consisting of two extracellular alpha units and two transmembrane beta units. The binding of insulin to the alpha subunit of IR stimulates the tyrosine kinase activity intrinsic to the beta subunit of the receptor. The bound receptor autophosphorylates and phosphorylates numerous intracellular substrates such as insulin receptor substrates (IRS) proteins, Cbl, APS, Shc and Gab 1. Activation of these proteins leads to the activation of downstream signalling molecules including PI3 kinase and Akt. Akt regulates the activity of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and protein kinase C (PKC), both of which play critical roles in metabolism. Insulin glargine is completely soluble at pH 4, the pH of administered solution, and has low solubility at physiological pH 7.4. Upon subcuteous injection, the solution is neutralized resulting in the formation of microprecipitates. Small amounts of insulin glargine are released from microprecipitates giving the drug a relatively constant concentration over time profile over 24 hours with no pronounced peak. This release mechanism allows the drug to mimic basal insulin levels within the body.
