Type 2 Diabetes: Understanding
Type 2 Diabetes: Overview
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose). In T2DM, the response to insulin is diminished, and this is defined as insulin resistance. During this state, insulin is ineffective and is initially countered by an increase in insulin production to maintain glucose homeostasis, but over time, insulin production decreases, resulting in T2DM. T2DM is most commonly seen in persons older than 45 years. Still, it is increasingly seen in children, adolescents, and younger adults due to rising levels of obesity, physical inactivity, and energy-dense diets.&nbsp;
T2DM is an insulin-resistance condition with associated beta-cell dysfunction. Initially, there is a compensatory increase in insulin secretion, which maintains glucose levels in the normal range. As the disease progresses, beta cells change, and insulin secretion is unable to maintain glucose homeostasis, producing hyperglycemia. Most of the patients with T2DM are obese or have a higher body fat percentage, distributed predominantly in the abdominal region. This adipose tissue itself promotes insulin resistance through various inflammatory mechanisms, including increased FFA release and adipokine dysregulation. Lack of physical activity, prior GDM in those with hypertension or dyslipidemia also increases the risk of developing T2DM. Evolving data suggest a role for adipokine dysregulation, inflammation, abnormal incretin biology with decreased incretins such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-I) or incretin resistance, hyperglucagonemia, increased renal glucose reabsorption, and abnormalities in gut microbiota.
The diagnostic procedure to confirm type 2 diabetes fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test, A1C test, random plasma glucose (RPG), and oral glucose tolerance test are carried out. For A1C, the normal range should be below 5.7%, fasting plasma glucose should be 99 mg/dL or below, and oral glucose tolerance should be 139 mg/dL or below. Diabetes can be treated and its consequences avoided or delayed with diet, physical activity, medication and regular screening and treatment for complications. Medications include metformin, meglitinides and sulfonylureas, DPP-4 inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, bile acid sequestrants etc. In September 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration approved Rybelsus (semaglutide) oral tablets to improve control of blood sugar in adult patients with type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise.

Type 2 Diabetes Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Type 2 Diabetes report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Type 2 Diabetes Emerging Drugs
<ul>
<li>LY-3209590: Eli Lilly and Company</li>
</ul>
Insulin efsitora alfa (LY3209590) is a once-weekly basal insulin, a fusion protein that combines a novel single-chain variant of insulin with a human IgG2 Fc domain. It is specifically designed for once-weekly subcutaneous administration, and with its low peak-to-trough ratio, it has the potential to provide more stable glucose levels (less glucose variability) throughout the week. Efsitora is in phase III development for adults with type 1 and 2 diabetes.
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>THDB0206: Tonghua Dongbao Pharmaceutical</li>
</ul>
BC Lispro (THDB0206) is an ultra-rapid-acting insulin analog developed by Tonghua Dongbao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. BC Lispro is designed to restore early-phase insulin secretion, which is often impaired in diabetic patients. This insulin analog utilizes a new formulation technology that allows for rapid absorption and action, mimicking the physiological pattern of insulin secretion after meals. Such characteristics are expected to reduce the risk of late postprandial hypoglycemia, providing patients with greater flexibility in managing their insulin injections. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>HU6: Rivus Pharmaceuticals</li>
</ul>
Rivus Pharmaceuticals is developing HU6, a novel oral medication classified as a Controlled Metabolic Accelerator (CMA), aimed at treating various metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. HU6 works by leveraging mitochondrial uncoupling to increase the body's resting metabolic rate, promoting fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass. Currently, the drug is in the Phase II stage of development to treat Type 2 Diabetes.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>AZD5004: AstraZeneca</li>
</ul>
AZD-5004, also known as ECC5004, is an investigational small molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) developed by AstraZeneca in collaboration with Eccogene. It is primarily aimed at treating obesity, type 2 diabetes, and related cardiometabolic conditions. AZD-5004 works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates appetite and insulin secretion. This mechanism is crucial for managing weight and improving glucose metabolism, making it a potential therapeutic option for individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Currently, the drug is in the Phase II stage of development to treat Type 2 Diabetes.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>XW014: Sciwind Biosciences</li>
</ul>
XW014 is an oral small molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist developed by Sciwind Biosciences for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). XW014 functions as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it mimics the action of the GLP-1 hormone that is released after meals. This hormone plays a key role in regulating glucose metabolism by stimulating insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon release, and promoting satiety. As an oral small molecule, XW014 offers advantages over traditional peptide-based GLP-1 therapies, such as ease of administration and the potential for combination therapies with other oral medications. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>KN056: Suzhou Alphamab Co., Ltd.</li>
</ul>
KN-056 is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) modulator developed by Suzhou Alphamab Co., Ltd. for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. KN-056 functions as a GLP-1R modulator, which means it targets the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor. GLP-1 is a hormone that plays a key role in regulating glucose metabolism by stimulating insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon release, and promoting satiety. By modulating the GLP-1 receptor, KN-056 aims to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.&nbsp;
