DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1. Inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4 inhibitors or gliptins) are a class of oral hypoglycemics that block the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). They can be used to treat diabetes mellitus type 2. The first agent of the class – sitagliptin – was approved by the FDA in 2006. [1]
It contains dapagliflozin, as propanediol monohydrate, a SGLT-2 inhibitor; and sitagliptin, as phosphate monohydrate, a DPP-4 inhibitor. [1] It is taken by mouth . [ 1 ]
It used thiazolidide as the P1-substitute and was the first DPP-4 inhibitor that showed effects in both animals and humans but it was not developed to a market drug due to side effects. Another old inhibitor is DPP-728 from Novartis, where 2-cyanopyrrolidine is used as the P1-substitute. The addition of the cyano group generally increases the ...

Vildagliptin, sold under the brand name Galvus and others, is an oral anti-hyperglycemic agent (anti-diabetic drug) of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class of drugs.
Alogliptin, sold under the brand names Nesina and Vipidia, [2] [3] is an oral anti-diabetic drug in the DPP-4 inhibitor (gliptin) class. [4] Like other members of the gliptin class, it causes little or no weight gain, exhibits relatively little risk of hypoglycemia, and has relatively modest glucose-lowering activity. [1]
Fotagliptin (SAL067) is a DPP-4 inhibitor under development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Like other DPP-4 inhibitors, it works by increasing endogenously produced GLP-1 and GIP . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In a phase 3 trial it showed similar results as alogliptin .
Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor and simvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. [1] These two disorders commonly occur in people at the same time, and have been typically treated with administration of these medications separately. The combination was approved in 2011, and sold under the brand name Juvisync by Merck ...
