Successful sulfonylurea treatment in a patient with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus with a novel KCNJ11 mutation

Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus refers to diabetes that occurs before the age of 6 months and persists through life. It is a rare disorder affecting one in 0.2-0.5 million live births. Mutations in the gene KCNJ11, encoding the subunit Kir6.2, and ABCC8, encoding SUR1 of the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel, are the most common causes of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus. Sulfonyl...

Exenatide (Byetta) as a novel treatment option for type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Exenatide is the first drug in the incretin mimetic class and is indicated for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although structurally similar to the native glucagon-like peptide, this synthetic form has a much longer duration of action. Randomized trials have shown exenatide to be efficacious in improving glycemic control when combined with either metformin or a sulfonylurea. The dose is ...

Changing the Treatment of Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus from Insulin to Glibenclamide in a 4-Month-Old Infant with KCNJ11 Activating Mutation

Permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) is a rare type of diabetes and KCNJ11 gene activating mutation is one of its prevalent causes. We introduced a 4-month-old male infant with poor feeding, restlessness, tachypnea, hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and ketonemia. He was discharged with insulin and after 2 months, KCNJ11 gene mutation was found and treatment was switched from subcutaneo...

Novel sulfonylurea derivatives as H3 receptor antagonists. Preliminary SAR studies.

The combination of antagonism at histamine H(3) receptor and the stimulation of insulin secretion have been proposed as an approach to new dual therapeutic agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with obesity. We have designed and synthesized a new series of non-imidazole derivatives, based on a basic amine ring connected through an alkyl spacer of variable length to a p...
