Brief resume of the intended work

6.1 Need for the study: Drug interaction can be defined as the modification of the effect of one drug by the prior or concomitant administration of another drug. The more drugs a patient takes the greater the likelihood that an adverse reaction will occur. One hospital study found that the rate was 7% in those taking 6 to 10 drugs, but 40% in those taking 16 to 20 drugs which represents a disproportionate increase1.According to one report , the drug interaction may be fourth to sixth leading cause of death in united sates2. Recent studies have demonstrated that may patient receive multiple drug therapy with recognize potential. When patient has subjected various therapeutics regimen increases, the greater is the risk of occurrence of drug interaction3.This may lead to enhanced or diminished effect and may be useful or harmful. The responsible position lies between these two extremes because a very substantial number of interacting drugs can be given together safely, if the appropriate precautions are taken, whereas there are relatively few pairs of drugs that should always be avoided. These drug interaction may be due to the influence of one drug on the pharmacokinetic parameter of the co-administered drug or pharmacodynamic properties of the other, Pharmacodynamic interaction are those where the effect of one drug are change by the presence of another drug at site of action. In some cases the interaction is due to direct effects at the receptor, but more often it receptor medicated with interference with biochemical or physiological mechanism4.These drug interaction may result in sever Adverse Drug Reaction, exaggerated pharmacological responses, toxic effects or decreased efficacy of drug.
Diabetes mellitus is a group of syndromes characterized by hyperglycemic, altered metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and an increasedrise of complications from vascular disease.Diabetes is the most common endocrine disorder and by the year 2010.It is estimated that more than 200 million people world wide have diabetes and 300 million will subsequently have the disease by 20255.
As thediseaseprogresses, tissue orvasculardamage ensures leading to severe diabetic complication such as retinopathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular complications and ulceration6,7.Thus diabetes covers a wide range of heterogeneous diseases. Oral hypoglycemic agents are useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, thus there is every possibility of multi drug interaction amongst concomitantly used drugs and may lead to severe complications. Diabetes requires the treatment for long time and gastric ulcers required specific medication. In such cases, it is vary much needed to establish the interaction between the drugs used for these two disorders e.g. - diabetes and gastric ulcer, when treatment for both diseases are given simultaneously. Esomeprazole is one of the extensively used antiulcer drug and for the diabetes, sulfonylurea (Glimepiride) and thiazolidinediones (pioglitazone) are the oral hypoglycemic agents more commonly employed. Since, proton pump inhibitor, esomprazole is know to metabolism through cytochrome P-450 and also causes enzyme induction 8. Glimepiride and pioglitazone are also under go metabolism through cytochrome P-450, there is possibility of occurrence of pharmacokinetic type of drug interactions with concomitantly administration with esomeprazole. Constant homeostasis of blood sugar level is important in diabetic patients. Theses enzyme induction with concomitant administration of other drugs may alter the plasma level of glucose, leads to decreased potency of diabetic drugs. Hence, with this above information, to find out possibility of potential interaction of glimepiride and pioglitazole with esomprazole is very much needed. Therefore, the prevent study may be useful to clinician in administration and information about drug interaction.
6.2 Review of literature :
Proton pump inhibitor or H2-receptor antagonists are widely used for effective treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers. Most of these agents is well known to inhibit the hepatic cytochrome P450 (CY450, isoenzymes are called CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19) metabolism of a number of concurrently administered drugs9, 10.These agents are most commonly used as a anti-secretary agents during hyper- secretion of gastric acid. Enzyme induction takes several weeks to develop fully, but enzyme inhibition
Can occur within 2 to 3 days resulting in the rapid development of toxicity. Both co-administered drug under go metabolism with same group enzymes (CY450) then competitive inhibition of hepatic cytochrome 450 involved in alteration of absorption, metabolism and excretion via altering the gastric pH, poor absorption and increased or reduced levels in plasma of drugs due to inhibition of cytochrome 450 enzymes11,12. The proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole and lansoprazole are inhibitors of CYP2C19.Hence it is likely proton pump inhibitors may influence the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of sulfonylurea. Esomeprazole is an S-isomer of omeprazole. Esomeprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the H+/K+- ATPase in the gastric parietal cell. The isoenzymes CYP3A4 is responsible for metabolism of sulfonyureas13, CYP2C8, CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 for metabolism of thiazolidinediones 14, 15. On these bases, we can assume that possible drug interaction esomeprazole with anti-diabetic drugs. Therefore, the present study is designed to assess the extent of potential interaction esomeprazole with Glimepiride and pioglitazole induced hypoglycemic activity. The present study may be useful to clinician in readjusting the dose and frequency of administration of antidiabetic agents, when they are needed to be used with esomeprazole.
6.3 Objective of the study:
Research reports indications that various drug interactions with proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole interfere with cytochrome P-450 enzyme system and there by they alter the pharmacokinetics of various drugs administered concumintaly. In view this above information, the possibility interaction between esomeprazole and orally acting hypoglycemic agents like glimepiride and pioglitazone was planned for the study.
The objectives of present studies as follows:

1.To study the potential effect of repeated administration of esomeprazole on the hypoglycemic activity of glimepiride and pioglitazone in experimental animals.

2.To study the influence of repeated administration of esomprazole on the antidiabetic activity of glimepiride and pioglitazone in the experimentally induced diabetic animals.

7. /
  1. To possible management of drug interaction with, adjustment dose and frequency of administration of hypoglycemic agents like glimepiride and pioglitazone, when they are used along with esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitors for the treatment of gastric ulcers in diabetic patients.
Material and methods:
7.1 Source of data:
This study is planned for pharmacodynamic data generation by utilizing pre-clinical laboratory
based research by using certain pharmacological tools. Estimation of blood glucose levels at pre-determined intervals after the administration of hypoglycemic agents to healthy animals (rats and rabbits) with or without pre treatment of esomeprazole is important criteria for generating required data. The additional required data also obtained from available literatures.
7.2 Materials:
Animals : Healthy Wister albino rats of either sex (150-200g)
Healthy Albino rabbits of either sex (1.5-2.0 kg.)
Instruments:Research centrifuge, Auto analyzer, UV-Spectrophotometer.
7.3 Methods:
The Animal were divided into different treatment groups
Pharmacodynamicstudy in Normal/ Diabetic Rats.

A group of six rats were administered with glimepiride and pioglitazone, orally. The same group was administered with of esomeprazole and combination of esomeprazole with glimepiride and pioglitazone One-week washout period was maintained between treatments. The same treatment was repeated in a group of six alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Blood samples were withdrawn by retro orbital puncture16, 20 at 0, 1, 2,3,4,6,8,10, and 12 hours and were analyzed for blood glucose by GOD/POD method17,20 using commercial glucose kits (Span diagnostics).

Pharmacodynamic study in Rabbits.
A group of five rabbits were administered with of glimepiride and pioglitazone, orally. The same group was administered withesomprazole, orally after a further washout period the same group was administered with combination ofglimepiride and pioglitazone with esomeprazole .After interaction study the same group was continued with the daily treatment of interacting drug (esomeprazole) for the next eight days with regular feeding. Later after 18-hour fasting, they were again given the combined treatment on the ninth day. Blood samples were withdrawn from the marginal ear vein of each rabbit at 0,1,2,3,4,6,8,12,18, and 24hours.They were analyzed for glucose by GOD/POD 18,20
Induction of Diabetes:
Diabetes was induced in rats by the administered of alloxan monohydrate in two doses, that is,50mg/kg and 100mg/kg body weight intraperitoneally for two consecutive days19,20
Statistical analysis:
All the data were expressed in mean ± SEM. The significance of differences in mean between control and treated animals for different parameters determined by one way using ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s comparison test. Significance for difference between groups was evaluated for student’s t-test to come to final conclusion .
7.4 Dose the study requires any investigation or intervention to be conducted on patients or other humans or animals? If so, please describe briefly.
Yes, the above study requires investigation on experimental animals like Wister albino rats and albino rabbits for this research work.
7.5Has ethical clearance been obtained from your institution for performing various tests on animals?
Yes, the study is cleared from Institutional Animal Ethics Committee. The copy is enclosed with this protocol.
