Abstract
With the advent of Covid-19, it is necessary to repurpose new treatment alternatives, either in the form of an effective single dose of these antidiabetic drug agents or an efficacious combination of them for elderly population with or had suffered this condition. Such new treatment alternatives would prevent the development of the common comorbidities, such as heart failure, nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy. This mini-review has the objective of predicting the targets of bioactive small molecules in human using healthcare applied artificial intelligence. Method. The tool is a tuned algorithm, with novel data in web interface. Results. Information figures of Swiss Target Prediction, which allow predictions on therapy combinations and probable side effects, were reordered. This tool is useful to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying a given phenotype or bioactivity, to rationalize possible favorable or unfavorable side effects, to predict off-targets of known molecules and to clear the way to drug repurposing. Predictions are done using a ligand-based approach, based on the similarity between a query molecule and the known ligands of a large collection of protein targets. Conclusion. The result of this study highlighted crucial recommendations for the use of some of the antidiabetic agent groups in diabetic patients, which would also reduce the cost of their therapies. This is very important for patients who, due to their ill condition, are obliged to take medicine for a long period and whose life depends on it.

Introduction
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease with high magnitude of morbidity and mortality, which heralds it as one of the biggest problems of public health concern in the world. The number of people with diabetes and pre-diabetes is growing exponentially. Due to its high and increasing incidence, the associated healthcare costs, and threatening medical complications, it is considered as one of the priority non-communicable diseases [1]. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is internationally ever-growing (Figure 1).
Therefore, prevention, diagnosis and control of insulin resistance and T2DM are of increasing importance [2]. It is pertinent to design a proper multifactorial management of patients with type 2 diabetes that aims at controlling blood pressure, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia by using both lifestyle changes (reduction of sodium and fat intake, regular physical activity, weight loss in overweight patients, smoking cessation) and drug therapy [3].
Glycemia and insulin resistance are important regulators of multiple physiological processes and their dysregulation has wide-ranging consequences. During treatment, the patients may undergo rapid changes in their condition or suffer diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar status (HHS) [4]. A strict glycemic control based on the maintenance of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at between 4.4-6.1 mmol/L and 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (2 h PG) at 6.1-7.8 mmol/L) should be instituted. For the common type patients, FPG should be between 6.1 and 7.8 mmol/L and 2 h PG, between 7.8 and10.0 mmol/L.
Diabetes During Covid Time
The current outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) constitutes a notable challenge for diabetic patients. People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing different infectious diseases; and hence, increased mortality rate [5]. Diabetic patients who suffered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) experienced higher mortality and higher proportion of critically ill condition [6], as opposed to non-diabetic infected patients. This difference in severity may be associated to the effects of hyperglycemia on systemic inflammatory responses and immune system dysfunction. In addition, age, environmental conditions, socioeconomic status, comorbidities and interventional timing increase the risks for severe infection, morbidity and mortality in these patients [7]. Elderly people and patients with comorbidities suffer severe coronavirus disease.
Patients with hipoglycemic, hypolipidemic and antiatherogenic effects, the prevalence of diabetes and obesity, as well as high human development index, and location at < 500 or > 2000 above sea level were associated with higher mortality rate in COVID-19 disease [8]. Therefore, diabetes and hypertension are the main cause of adult mortality worldwide, due more than 70% of adult population living in areas with high social marginality suffer diabetes, hypertension and obesity [9], respect clinical data.
Effect of Nutritional State
In fact, malnutrition is a common event among severe patients, such as elderly adults and patients with comorbidity that suffered coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, which comprises serum albumin level, cholesterol level and lymphocytes count, as well as a combined CONUT-lactate dehydrogenase-C-reactive protein score expressed a predictive capacity even superior to that of NRS-2002 (0.81% and 0.92% vs. 0.79%) in midlife and elder COVID-19 patients [10]. This author suggests that older males with severe inflammation, gastrointestinal symptoms and pre-existing comorbidities (diabetes, obesity or hypertension) are more prone to malnutrition and subsequently poor COVID-19 prognosis, both during the acute phase and during convalescence. Also, the epidemic of diabetes and dementia are more in older adults. The risk for dementia appears to increase in patients with diabetes, and patients with both dementia and diabetes appear to be at greater risk for severe hypoglycemia [11].
Significant endothelial cell loss has been reported in long-term disease and in cases of poor metabolic control, and corneal thickness may increase in diabetic patients [12], and as the prevalence of malnutrition is high in patients with cancer, and systematic screening for its treatment of malnutrition is necessary. The prevalence of malnutrition by disease site is as follows: head and neck, 48.9%; leukemia/lymphoma, 34.0%; lung, 45.3%; colon/rectum, 39.3%; esophagus and/or stomach, 60.2%; pancreas, 66.7%; breast, 20.5%; ovaries/uterus, 44.8%; and prostate, 13.9%. [13], and cancer is the main disorder in old patients.
Diabetes and Hypertension
The association between diabetes mellitus and hypertension has been described in 60 to 65% of diabetics, and hypertension is two to three times more common among diabetics compared with non-diabetics [14]. Aging process induces changes in renal physiology such as glomerular filtration rate reduction, and alteration in water and electrolytes handling [15], making the old person frail, and finding association between cardiovascular disorders and falls in older adults. Indeed, several cardiovascular disorders, including stroke, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, arterial stiffness, arrhythmia, orthostatic hypotension, and carotid sinus hypersensitivity, were consistently associated with falls [16], heart failure prevalence will more than 10% of persons over the age of 70 years in an age-dependent manner. The prevalence is up to 74% in older individuals over the age of 80 years or those over 70 years old with a high burden of comorbidities and chronic diseases [17].
On the other hand, chronic overconsumption of animal fats causes diabetes mellitus and obesity. The underlying molecular mechanisms encompass leptin resistance, a decrease in rewarding effects of physical activities, xanthine oxidase-induced oxidative stress in vasculature and peripheral tissue, impaired activation of incretin signaling and deviation in food preference [18]. Hyperuricemia can lead to cardiovascular and renal complications in patients with diabetes [19].
High-fat feeding and hyperglycemia, key risk factors for the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS), are being increasingly associated with higher risk of developing dementia and cognitive decline. Despite the effect of high fat-feeding and hyperglycemia on the levels of systemic inflammatory cytokines, gliosis in the hippocampus and immune infiltration in cerebral hemispheric tissue [20], hyperglycemia alone preferentially induces an increase in microglial numbers and astrocytosis in the hippocampus. In addition, it is associated with the peripheral recruitment of leukocytes to the cerebrovasculature, but not with systemic inflammation.
Changes in glucose levels induce neuroendocrine response, which works to prevent or correct glycemia. The main area of the brain that regulates glycemic homeostasis is the hypothalamus; consequently, metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes are related to imbalance of this control [21,22]. The multi-resultant effects of this imbalance are the induction of oxidative damage, production of hyperglycemia, heart failure, increased brain oxidative stress, impaired brain mitochondrial function, increased brain apoptosis, increased tau protein expression, increased phosphorylation of tau protein expression and amyloid beta levels, and decreased dendritic spine density [23]. Free radicals are normally generated in many cellular metabolic pathways as reactive oxygen species (ROS), or Nitrogen Oxygen Species (NOS). These radicals may interact with various cellular components and induce cell injury. Oxidative stress results when there is a serious imbalance between generation of free radicals and the antioxidant capacity, or disturbance of glutathione homeostasis in the body. When free radicals exceed the antioxidant capacity, cell injury causes diverse physiological and pathologic changes, including the presence of clinical disorders [24], in elderly.
Antidiabetic Drugs
Antidiabetic drugs allow the optimization of diabetes treatment and provide opportunities to improve the management of the disease (a condition that can be treated and controlled, but has no cure yet). In addition, these drugs can reduce the complications associated with this disorder. Currently, the main groups of antidiabetic agents include:
- Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (acarbose, miglitol) [25].
- Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors (alogliptan, linagliptan, saxagliptin, sitagliptin) [26].
- Meglitinides (nateglinide, repaglinide) [27].
- Non-sulfonylureas (metformin) [28].
- Sulfonylureas (glimepiride, glipizide, glyburide, tolazamide, tolbutamide, gliclazide) [31].
- Thiazolidinediones (rosiglitazone, pioglitazone) [32].
Type 2 diabetes pharmacotherapy with a single agent does not generally provide durable glycemic control. Hence, the mainstay choice is to add a second-line or third-line agents once unfavorable side effects appear or when glycemic control with monotherapy deteriorates. In fact, polypharmacy and less malnutrition problems improve the health and well-being of older adults.
Predicting the Targets of Antidiabetic Agents
With artificial intelligence applications in healthcare at predicting the targets of antidiabetic agents in human, we used the tool of a tuned algorithm, with novel data in web interface. This study used figures to reorder the information of Swiss Target Prediction that allow predictions on combination therapy and probable side effects. This tool helps to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying a given phenotype or bioactivity, rationalize possible favorable or unfavorable side effects, predict off-targets of known molecules and clear the way to drug repurposing.
Predictions are done using a ligand-based approach, which considers the similarity between a query molecule and the known ligands of a large collection of protein targets as explained below (Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8, Table 9, Table 10, Table 11, Table 12, Table 13, Table 14, Table 15, Table 16, Table 17, Table 18, Table 19, Table 20 and Table 21).
Group 1. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) and Target Predictions with Artificial Intelligence. The AGIs are ligand-based inhibitors whose mechanism of actions is to halt, in small intestine, the absorption of carbohydrates. AGIs perform this function by inhibiting enzymes, such as glucoamylase, sucrase, maltase and isomaltase that convert complex non-absorbable carbohydrates into simple absorbable carbohydrates; thus, halting the absorption of elements. Currently, there are two know available AGIs with 80% main target prediction.

Group 2. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-49) and Target Predictions with Artificial Intelligence. DPP-4 inhibitors: These substances inhibit DPP-4 activity in peripheral plasma. In the peripheral circulations, DPP-4 inactivates the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), that stimulates insulins secretion. Therefore, these inhibitors prevent this inactivation, and thereby, makes it possible the GLP-1 stimulation of insulin secretion. Presently, there are four available antidiabetic DPP-4 inhibitor agents with 66.7% to 80% main target prediction.

Group 3. Meglitinides and Target Predictions with Artificial Intelligence. These substances work to reduce blood glucose levels by stimulating endogenous insulin production. The dosing strategy depends on the level of hemoglobin A1c. The recommended starting dose for A1c level below 8% (64 mmol/mol) is 0.5mg pre-prandial and for A1c level above 8% is 1 to 2mg. Two meglitinides are currently available with 73.3% to 86.6% main target prediction.

Group 5. Sodium-Glucose-co Transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and Target Predictions with Artificial Intelligence. SGLT2 inhibitors are the latest class of anti-hyperglycemic agents approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA). SGLT2 inhibitors function through a novel mechanism consisting of reducing renal tubular glucose reabsorption. Hence, they help to reduce blood glucose without stimulating insulin release. Currently, there are four antidiabetic agents of this class with 73.3% to 86.6% main target prediction.

Group 6. Sulfonylureas and meglitinides and Target Predictions with Artificial Intelligence. This group of diabetic agents directly stimulate insulin release from pancreatic beta cells; thus, lower blood glucose concentration. Because they work by stimulating insulin secretion, they are useful only in patients with some beta cell function. Adverse effects may include weight gain and hypoglycemia. Six antidiabetic agents of this class are currently available (53.3% to 86.6% main target prediction).

Molecules or natural substances in the body are target specific receptors on the surface of cells. It substances bind with the receptor on a cell and stimulate the receptor to perform its function, which is to produce or to inhibit a specific action in the cell. Antidiabetic agents can also target and bind with these receptors. Then this drugs act as agonists, stimulating the receptor in the same way that the body’s natural substances do. Others act as antagonists, blocking the action of the natural substance on the receptor. Each type of receptor has many subtypes, and this antidiabetic drugs may act on one or several subtypes of receptors [33].
Expectance and Conclusions
Polypharmacy is widespread among older people with diabetes and exists evidence for an association between polypharmacy and many adverse outcomes, including adverse drug events and disability [34]. Doses of drugs in Elderly polypharmacy varies with ailments, age, sex and weight. With increasing age there is an increased prevalence of disease for which medication may be indicated and increased drug toxicity [35]. Drug toxicity in old age is influenced by changes in the quantity, affinity and responsiveness of drug targets, physiological reserve and response to injury. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important cause of hospitalization and of medication deregistration [36]. However, The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed 525 different drugs, that can lead to acute pancreatitis cases, as a medication side-effect [37].
Oral antidiabetic agents work in various ways to reduce blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Some stimulate pancreatic insulin secretion, others improve the responsiveness of cells to insulin or prevent glucose production by the liver, while other groups inhibit or slow down glucose absorption after meals. However, previous experience has allowed us to formulate recommendations for the use of some groups of antidiabetic agents in diabetic patients. It is pertinent to highlight that it should not be forgotten that the selection of medications with high therapeutics effects and low cost is of paramount importance for patients that take medicine for a longer period and whose lives depend on it. This is an invaluable information for the maximization of antidiabetic agents for the benefit of the patients.
