In the course of our program for discovery of novel DPP-IV inhibitors, a series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines were found to be novel DPP-IV inhibitors. We identified N-[2-({2-[(2S)-2-cyanopyrrolidin-1-yl]-2-oxoethyl}amino)-2-methylpropyl]-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxamide hydrochloride (4a) and described its pharmacological profiles.

The use of fish rest raw material for the production of fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) through enzymatic hydrolysis has received significant interest in recent decades. Peptides derived from fish proteins are known for their enhanced bioactivity which is mainly influenced by their molecular weight. Studies have shown that novel technologies, such as high-pressure processing (HPP), can effectively modify protein structures leading to increased biological activity.

Diabetes mellitus remains a global challenge, with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) prevalence increasing from 4% to 6.4% in the past 30 years. Presently oral hypoglycaemic agents like GLP-1 agonists, biguanides, sulphonylureas, glinides, and thiazolidinediones are employed in clinical practice.

Tartary buckwheat, a protein-rich pseudocereal with anti-diabetic effects, has not yet been fully explored as a source of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides. This study aims to discover novel DPP-IV inhibitory peptides from tartary buckwheat protein (TBP). Five hydrolysis methods were employed, with simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGID) releasing the most active DPP-IV inhibitory hydrolysates, showing both the highest degree of hydrolysis (22.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), senile plaques from Aβ deposits, neuronal inflammation, oxidative stress, and impaired neuronal transmission involving acetylcholine and glutamate. Diabetes patients are at a higher risk of developing AD-like pathology due to shared pathological and molecular mechanisms, including insulin resistance, oxidative stress, formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and overactive immune systems. Current treatments of AD typically address only one aspect of the disease, rather than treating it as a multifactorial process.
