Acarbose tablets are indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus./Included in US product label/
US Natl Inst Health; DailyMed. Current Medication Information for ACARBOSE tablet (February 2009). Available from, as of October 3, 2011: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=6c2db888-775c-4baf-a1b4-1cfa63b83357
THERAPEUTIC CATEGORY: Antidiabetic
O'Neil, M.J. (ed.). The Merck Index - An Encyclopedia of Chemicals, Drugs, and Biologicals. Whitehouse Station, NJ: Merck and Co., Inc., 2006., p. 5
Acarbose is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug and in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis or cirrhosis. Acarbose is also contraindicated in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, colonic ulceration, partial intestinal obstruction or in patients predisposed to intestinal obstruction. In addition, acarbose is contraindicated in patients who have chronic intestinal diseases associated with marked disorders of digestion or absorption and in patients who have conditions that may deteriorate as a result of increased gas formation in the intestine.

Because of its mechanism of action, acarbose when administered alone should not cause hypoglycemia in the fasted or postprandial state. Sulfonylurea agents or insulin may cause hypoglycemia. Because acarbose given in combination with a sulfonylurea or insulin will cause a further lowering of blood glucose, it may increase the potential for hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia does not occur in patients receiving metformin alone under usual circumstances of use, and no increased incidence of hypoglycemia was observed in patients when acarbose was added to metformin therapy. Oral glucose (dextrose), whose absorption is not inhibited by acarbose, should be used instead of sucrose (cane sugar) in the treatment of mild to moderate hypoglycemia. Sucrose, whose hydrolysis to glucose and fructose is inhibited by acarbose, is unsuitable for the rapid correction of hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia may require the use of either intravenous glucose infusion or glucagon injection.

Gastrointestinal symptoms are the most common reactions to acarbose. ... In a one-year safety study, during which patients kept diaries of gastrointestinal symptoms, abdominal pain and diarrhea tended to return to pretreatment levels over time, and the frequency and intensity of flatulence tended to abate with time. The increased gastrointestinal tract symptoms in patients treated with acarbose are a manifestation of the mechanism of action of acarbose and are related to the presence of undigested carbohydrate in the lower GI tract. If the prescribed diet is not observed, the intestinal side effects may be intensified. If strongly distressing symptoms develop in spite of adherence to the diabetic diet prescribed, the doctor must be consulted and the dose temporarily or permanently reduced.

In long-term studies (up to 12 months, and including acarbose doses up to 300 mg t.i.d.) conducted in the United States, treatment-emergent elevations of serum transaminases (AST and/or ALT) above the upper limit of normal (ULN), greater than 1.8 times the ULN, and greater than 3 times the ULN occurred in 14%, 6%, and 3%, respectively, of acarbose-treated patients as compared to 7%, 2%, and 1%, respectively, of placebo-treated patients. Although these differences between treatments were statistically significant, these elevations were asymptomatic, reversible, more common in females, and, in general, were not associated with other evidence of liver dysfunction. In addition, these serum transaminase elevations appeared to be dose related. In US studies including acarbose doses up to the maximum approved dose of 100 mg t.i.d., treatment-emergent elevations of AST and/or ALT at any level of severity were similar between acarbose-treated patients and placebo-treated patients (p >/= 0.496).

In a study of 6 healthy men, less than 2% of an oral dose of acarbose was absorbed as active drug, while approximately 35% of total radioactivity from a 14C-labeled oral dose was absorbed. An average of 51% of an oral dose was excreted in the feces as unabsorbed drug-related radioactivity within 96 hours of ingestion. Because acarbose acts locally within the gastrointestinal tract, this low systemic bioavailability of parent compound is therapeutically desired.

Following oral dosing of healthy volunteers with 14C-labeled acarbose, peak plasma concentrations of radioactivity were attained 14-24 hours after dosing, while peak plasma concentrations of active drug were attained at approximately 1 hour. The delayed absorption of acarbose-related radioactivity reflects the absorption of metabolites that may be formed by either intestinal bacteria or intestinal enzymatic hydrolysis.

Acarbose is metabolized exclusively within the gastrointestinal tract, principally by intestinal bacteria, but also by digestive enzymes. A fraction of these metabolites (approximately 34% of the dose) was absorbed and subsequently excreted in the urine.

The fraction of acarbose that is absorbed as intact drug is almost completely excreted by the kidneys. When acarbose was given intravenously, 89% of the dose was recovered in the urine as active drug within 48 hours. In contrast, less than 2% of an oral dose was recovered in the urine as active (i.e., parent compound and active metabolite) drug. This is consistent with the low bioavailability of the parent drug.

Acarbose is metabolized exclusively within the gastrointestinal tract, principally by intestinal bacteria, but also by digestive enzymes. ... At least 13 metabolites have been separated chromatographically from urine specimens. The major metabolites have been identified as 4-methylpyrogallol derivatives (i.e., sulfate, methyl, and glucuronide conjugates). One metabolite (formed by cleavage of a glucose molecule from acarbose) also has alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity. This metabolite, together with the parent compound, recovered from the urine, accounts for less than 2% of the total administered dose.

The plasma elimination half-life of acarbose activity is approximately 2 hours in healthy volunteers.

In contrast to sulfonylureas, acarbose does not enhance insulin secretion. The antihyperglycemic action of acarbose results from a competitive, reversible inhibition of pancreatic alpha-amylase and membrane-bound intestinal alpha-glucoside hydrolase enzymes. Pancreatic alpha-amylase hydrolyzes complex starches to oligosaccharides in the lumen of the small intestine, while the membrane-bound intestinal alpha-glucosidases hydrolyze oligosaccharides, trisaccharides, and disaccharides to glucose and other monosaccharides in the brush border of the small intestine. In diabetic patients, this enzyme inhibition results in a delayed glucose absorption and a lowering of postprandial hyperglycemia. Because its mechanism of action is different, the effect of acarbose to enhance glycemic control is additive to that of sulfonylureas, insulin or metformin when used in combination. In addition, acarbose diminishes the insulinotropic and weight-increasing effects of sulfonylureas. Acarbose has no inhibitory activity against lactase and consequently would not be expected to induce lactose intolerance.

Acarbose represents a pharmacological approach to achieving the metabolic benefits of a slower carbohydrate absorption in diabetes, by acting as a potent, competitive inhibitor of intestinal alpha-glucosidases. Acarbose molecules attach to the carbohydrate binding sites of alpha-glucosidases, with an affinity constant that is much higher than that of the normal substrate. Because of the reversible nature of the inhibitor-enzyme interaction, the conversion of oligosaccharides to monosaccharides is only delayed rather than completely blocked. Acarbose has the structural features of a tetrasaccharide and does not cross the enterocytes after ingestion. Thus, its pharmacokinetic properties are well suited to the pharmacological action directed exclusively towards the intestinal glucosidases. ...

The aim of the present study was to reveal the possible involvement of thyroid hormones in the antihyperglycaemic and antiperoxidative effects of acarbose. The effects of acarbose on changes in serum concentration of thyroid hormones, insulin and glucose in dexamethasone-induced type 2 diabetic mice were investigated. Simultaneously, changes in lipid peroxidation (LPO), reduced glutathione (GSH) content and the activity of associated endogenous anti-oxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismuatase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), were investigated in renal and cardiac tissues, which are commonly affected in diabetes mellitus. Although administration of dexamethasone (1.0 mg/kg, i.m., for 22 days) caused hyperglycaemia with a parallel increase in serum insulin and tissue LPO, it decreased thyroid hormone concentrations and the activity of SOD and CAT. When dexamethasone-induced hyperglycemic mice were treated with acarbose (10 mg/kg per day, p.o., for 15 days), levels of thyroid hormones were increased and most of the abnormalities, including serum insulin and glucose levels, tissue LPO, SOD and CAT activity and GSH content, were reversed. These findings suggest the involvement of thyroid hormones in the mode of action of acarbose in amelioration of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

A Acarbose CEP of the European Pharmacopoeia monograph is often referred to as a Acarbose Certificate of Suitability (COS). The purpose of a Acarbose CEP is to show that the European Pharmacopoeia monograph adequately controls the purity of Acarbose EP produced by a given manufacturer. Suppliers of raw materials can prove the suitability of Acarbose to their clients by showing that a Acarbose CEP has been issued for it. The manufacturer submits a Acarbose CEP (COS) as part of the market authorization procedure, and it takes on the role of a Acarbose CEP holder for the record. Additionally, the data presented in the Acarbose CEP (COS) is managed confidentially and offers a centralized system acknowledged by numerous nations, exactly like the Acarbose DMF.
A Acarbose CEP (COS) is recognised by all 36 nations that make up the European Pharmacopoeia Convention. Acarbose CEPs may be accepted in nations that are not members of the Ph. Eur. at the discretion of the authorities there.

A Acarbose CoA (Certificate of Analysis) is a formal document that attests to Acarbose's compliance with Acarbose specifications and serves as a tool for batch-level quality control.
Acarbose CoA mostly includes findings from lab analyses of a specific batch. For each Acarbose CoA document that a company creates, the USFDA specifies specific requirements, such as supplier information, material identification, transportation data, evidence of conformity and signature data.
Acarbose may be tested according to a variety of international standards, such as European Pharmacopoeia (Acarbose EP), Acarbose JP (Japanese Pharmacopeia) and the US Pharmacopoeia (Acarbose USP).
