Identification
- Summary
-
Miglitolis an oral alpha-glucosidase inhibitor used to improve glycemic control by delaying the digestion of carbohydrates.
- Generic Name
- Miglitol
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB00491
- Background
-
Miglitol inhibits the breakdown complex carbohydrates into glucose. It is primarily used in diabetes mellitus type 2 for establishing greater glycemic control by preventing the digestion of carbohydrates (such as disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) into monosaccharides which can be absorbed by the body.
应采取Miglitol fo的一顿饭r maximal effect and the effect will depend on the amount of poly and oligosaccharides in the diet. Miglitol inhibits alpha-glucosidase, making less sugars available for digestion and reducing postprandial hyperglycemia.
Unlike other drugs of the same class, miglitol is not metabolized and the unmetabolized drug is excreted by the kidneys.

Pharmacology
- Indication
-
For use as an adjunct to diet to improve glycemic control in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) whose hyperglycemia cannot be managed with diet alone.

- Pharmacodynamics
-
Miglitol, an oral alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, is a desoxynojirimycin derivative that delays the digestion of ingested carbohydrates, thereby resulting in a smaller rise in blood glucose concentration following meals. As a consequence of plasma glucose reduction, miglitol reduce levels of glycosylated hemoglobin in patients with Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Systemic nonenzymatic protein glycosylation, as reflected by levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, is a function of average blood glucose concentration over time. Because its mechanism of action is different, the effect of miglitol to enhance glycemic control is additive to that of sulfonylureas when used in combination. In addition, miglitol diminishes the insulinotropic and weight-increasing effects of sulfonylureas. Miglitol has minor inhibitory activity against lactase and consequently, at the recommended doses, would not be expected to induce lactose intolerance.
- Mechanism of action
-
In contrast to sulfonylureas, miglitol does not enhance insulin secretion. The antihyperglycemic action of miglitol results from a reversible inhibition of membrane-bound intestinal a-glucoside hydrolase enzymes. Membrane-bound intestinal a-glucosidases hydrolyze oligosaccharides and disaccharides to glucose and other monosaccharides in the brush border of the small intestine. In diabetic patients, this enzyme inhibition results in delayed glucose absorption and lowering of postprandial hyperglycemia.
Target Actions Organism ALysosomal alpha-glucosidase antagonistHumans ANeutral alpha-glucosidase AB antagonistHumans ANeutral alpha-glucosidase C antagonistHumans AMaltase-glucoamylase, intestinal antagonistinhibitorHumans - Absorption
-
Absorption of miglitol is saturable at high doses with 25 mg being completely absorbed while a 100-mg dose is only 50-70% absorbed. No evidence exists to show that systemic absorption of miglitol adds to its therapeutic effect.
- Volume of distribution
-
- 0.18 L/kg
- Protein binding
-
The protein binding of miglitol is negligible (<4.0%).
- Metabolism
-
Miglitol is not metabolized in man or in any animal species studied.
- Route of elimination
-
Miglitol is not metabolized in man or in any animal species studied. It is eliminated by renal excretion as an unchanged drug.
- Half-life
-
The elimination half-life of miglitol from plasma is approximately 2 hours.

- Toxicity
-
Unlike sulfonylureas or insulin, an overdose will not result in hypoglycemia. An overdose may result in transient increases in flatulence, diarrhea, and abdomi-nal discomfort. Because of the lack of extra-intestinal effects seen with miglitol, no serious systemic reactions are expected in the event of an overdose.
