Abstract
The type 2 diabetes or T2D mellitus has turn into an epidemic throughout the globe in recent years. Various forms of treatment modalities have been available for patients with T2D with some major classes of approved drugs that include Sulfonylureas, Meglitinides, Biguanides, Thiazolidinedione, Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, GLP-1 analogs, DPP-4 Inhibitors, and SGLT2 inhibitors. This review focuses on the drug metabolizing enzymes (DME), gene polymorphisms, and inter-individual variability in therapeutics including adverse reaction effects involving Phase-I DME and Phase-II in general. This review also covers some key anti-diabetic drugs with respect to their pharcogenomics.
Keywords: Asia, Diabetes, drugs, enzymes, pharcogenomics, T2D.

Impact of brain tissue binding and plasma protein binding of drugs in DMPK
The impression of brain tissue binding (BTB) or plasma protein binding (PPB) in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics is critical to understanding the distribution, efficacy, and potential toxicity of drugs that target the central nervous system (CNS). BTB and high PPB influence the distribution of drugs in the body and their ...read more
Interaction between drugs and endocrine diseases
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy accelerated studies and our understanding on the interaction between pharmacological therapies and endocrine diseases. Drugs can precipitate endocrine via different mechanisms, including direct alteration of hormone production and secretion, dysregulation of hormonal axis, effects on hormonal transport, receptor-binding, and cellular signalling. Common drug-induced ...read more
Metabolism-Mediated Xenobiotic Toxicity
Considering the potent modulation of biotransformation enzyme expression and activities by various therapeutic drugs and environmental chemicals, and the commonly combined exposure of humans to both drugs and the ever increasing environmental pollutants simultaneously, knowledge about the combined toxic effects by modulating biotransformation enzymes, such as P450s, UDP- glucuronosyltransferases, and ...read more
Safety evaluation of vaccine combination
Vaccine combination safety evaluation is a critical field within immunology and public health that focuses on assessing the safety and efficacy of combining different vaccines to maximize protection against various diseases while minimizing potential adverse effects. This process is significant because it ensures that vaccines can be administered together without ...read more
