A method for treating hyperglycemia and/or reducing serum glucose levels in a patient that includes administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an amine polymer is disclosed. In one embodiment, the amine polymer is aliphatic. Examples of polymers useful in an embodiment of the invention include sevelamer hydrogen chloride and colesevelam. The invention includes the use of amine polymers such as a cross-linked polymer characterized by a repeat unit having the formula:
1
and salts and copolymers thereof, where n is a positive integer and x is zero or an integer between 1 and about 4. Also described is a use, for the manufacture of a medicament, of a polymer that lowers serum glucose.
本发明公开了一种治疗高血糖和/或降低患者血清葡萄糖水平的方法,包括向患者投予治疗有效量的胺基聚合物。在一种实施例中,胺基聚合物是脂肪族的。本发明的实施例中有用的聚合物的例子包括盐酸西韦拉酰胺和考来西韦。本发明包括使用胺基聚合物,例如交联聚合物,其特征在于重复单元具有公式1,以及其盐和共聚物,其中n是正整数,x为零或介于1和约4之间的整数。本发明还描述了一种用于制造药物的降低血清葡萄糖的聚合物的用途。
