• #37 Metabolic Syndrome and Pharmacological Interventions in Clinical Development

  https://www.mdpi.com/2673-4540/5/3/23

  Metabolic syndrome prevalence is between 24 and 27% and poses a significant risk for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or other comorbidities. Currently, no drugs are approved for metabolic syndrome treatment itself, so the risk factors are treated with therapies approved for cardiac and metabolic conditions. […] The goal of metabolic syndrome management is to reduce the risk of ASCVD and T2D development. If ASCVD or T2D are present components of metabolic syndrome, they contribute to further disease progression and risk. First-line interventions for lowering long-term and short-term risk consist of non-pharmacological interventions through lifestyle modifications (i.e., diet, exercise, weight loss, tobacco cessation). […] Currently, no drugs are approved for metabolic syndrome indication itself. Instead, metabolic syndrome risk factors are treated with therapies approved for cardiac and metabolic conditions. These treatments affect several different pathways associated with metabolic syndrome. There are several pharmacological approaches and drug classes for the management of each of the risk factors of metabolic syndrome.

  Although it is generally agreed that first-line clinical intervention for the metabolic syndrome is lifestyle change, this is insufficient to normalize the risk factors in many patients, and so residual risk could be high enough to justify drug therapy. […] However, at present there are no approved drugs that can reliably reduce all of the metabolic risk factors over the long term, and so there is growing interest in therapeutic strategies that might target multiple risk factors more effectively, thereby minimizing problems with polypharmacy. […] This review summarizes current understanding of the nature of the metabolic syndrome, and discusses each of the risk factors of the metabolic syndrome as possible primary drug targets; potential secondary or tertiary targets are also considered.

  Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes — Losing weight (if you are overweight or obese) and staying active can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. […] Reduce cholesterol — High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (bad) cholesterol increase the risk of coronary artery disease. In people with metabolic syndrome, an LDL level of less than 80 to 100 mg/dL is recommended. […] If diet and weight loss do not adequately reduce your LDL levels, a medicine may be recommended. Treatment of high LDL levels is discussed separately. […] Reduce blood pressure — Keeping your blood pressure in a healthy range is an important goal, especially in people with metabolic syndrome. Blood pressure measurements include two numbers: the systolic pressure (the higher number), which indicates the pressure when the heart contracts or beats; and the diastolic pressure (the lower number), which indicates the pressure when the heart relaxes in between beats. For example, your blood pressure might be reported as 120/70 or „120 over 70.” High and elevated blood pressure is defined as follows:

The following strategies are recommended: […] A rational goal for lipid management in patients with metabolic syndrome would be to treat them as if they already have diabetes or another CHD equivalent (i.e., an LDL goal 100 mg/dL, with a target 70 mg/dL as an option). […] To reduce risk from the prothrombotic state induced by metabolic syndrome, patients with no contraindications should be placed on low-dose aspirin. […] A healthy diet and exercise should be strongly encouraged. This can improve CV fitness, increase weight loss and insulin sensitivity, decrease BP, and improve lipid metabolism.

  There are no established guidelines for treating metabolic syndrome as a whole, so first-line intervention should focus on underlying risk factors. The following strategies are recommended: […] A rational goal for lipid management in patients with metabolic syndrome would be to treat them as if they already have diabetes or another CHD equivalent (i.e., an LDL goal 100 mg/dL, with a target 70 mg/dL as an option). […] To reduce risk from the prothrombotic state induced by metabolic syndrome, patients with no contraindications should be placed on low-dose aspirin. […] A healthy diet and exercise should be strongly encouraged. This can improve CV fitness, increase weight loss and insulin sensitivity, decrease BP, and improve lipid metabolism. […] Although no drugs have been approved specifically for treating metabolic syndrome, individual elements of the syndrome should be addressed as they occur.
