  2. Metformin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metformin

    Metformin has acid dissociation constant values (pK a) of 2.8 and 11.5, so it exists very largely as the hydrophilic cationic species at physiological pH values. The metformin pK a values make it a stronger base than most other basic medications with less than 0.01% nonionized in blood.

    Conversely, when pH = pK a, the concentration of HA is equal to the concentration of A −. The buffer region extends over the approximate range pK a ± 2. Buffering is weak outside the range pK a ± 1. At pHpK a2 the substance is said to be fully protonated and at pHpK a + 2 it is fully dissociated (deprotonated).

    The converse is true in a basic medium. For example, Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is a weak acid (its pKa value is 5.0). The gastric juice has a pH of 2.0. It is a three-fold difference (due to log scale) between its pH and its pKa; therefore there is a 1000× difference between the charged and uncharged concentrations.

    2. Alleviates Hunger. Metformin improves how well your cells respond to insulin. This helps regulate your blood sugar levels and manage spikes in insulin that can trigger hunger and food cravings.

  7. Pioglitazone/metformin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioglitazone/metformin

    Metformin is a member of the biguanide class, improves glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes, lowering both basal and postprandial plasma glucose. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.

  9. Pyruvate kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_kinase

    Metformin, or dimethylbiguanide, is the primary treatment used for type 2 diabetes. Metformin has been shown to indirectly affect pyruvate kinase through the inhibition of gluconeogenesis. Specifically, the addition of metformin is linked to a marked decrease in glucose flux and increase in lactate/pyruvate flux from various metabolic pathways.
