Saxagliptin, a potent and selective DPP-4 inhibitor, exhibits a slow dissociation from DPP-4. We investigated the sustained effects of saxagliptin on renal DPP-4 activity in a washout study using renal tubular (HK-2) cells, and in a pharmacodynamic study using normal rats. In HK-2 cells, the inhibitory potency of saxagliptin on DPP-4 activity persisted after washout, while that of sitagliptin was clearly reduced. In normal rats, a single treatment of saxagliptin or sitagliptin inhibited the plasma DPP-4 activity to similar levels. The inhibitory action of saxagliptin on the renal DPP-4 activity was retained, even when its inhibitory effect on the plasma DPP-4 activity disappeared. However, the inhibitory action of sitagliptin on the renal DPP-4 activity was abolished in correlation with the inhibition of the plasma DPP-4 activity. In situ staining showed that saxagliptin suppressed the DPP-4 activity in both glomerular and tubular cells and its inhibitory effects were significantly higher than those of sitagliptin. Saxagliptin exerted a sustained inhibitory effect on the renal DPP-4 activity in vitro and in vivo. The long binding action of saxagliptin in renal tubular cells might involve the sustained inhibition of renal DPP-4.

Objective: To determine whether glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, separately, compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are associated with a reduced risk of cirrhosis and other adverse liver outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes.

Research Design And Methods: With an active comparator, new-user approach, we conducted a cohort study using the U.K.

The thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine fragment is in the structure of many drug-like candidate derivatives with a wide range of biological activities. However, very few dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors with this building block are currently known. Here, the selection of a novel DPP-4 inhibitor based on the thienopyrimidine scaffold is reported.

Background: Excessive inflammation in sepsis causes microvascular dysfunction associated with organ dysfunction and high mortality. The present studies aimed to examine the therapeutic potential of linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor in a clinically relevant polymicrobial sepsis model in mice.

Methods: Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).

Article Synopsis
  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition marked by high blood sugar levels and insulin resistance, making effective management crucial to lowering health risks.
  • A systematic review evaluated four primary treatments: SGLT2 inhibitors, DPP-4 inhibitors, metformin, and insulin, focusing on their effectiveness, safety, and long-term benefits based on recent randomized controlled trials.
  • SGLT2 inhibitors showed additional cardiovascular and kidney benefits, while metformin remains a key first-line option. The review stresses the need for personalized treatment plans and suggests future research should explore direct comparisons and therapy sequences for better guidelines.

1,2,3-triazole-based ring connected with pyridazine, triazine, methyl pyrazole, diphenyl pyrazole, and pthalimide moieties through propylene linker have been synthesized for antidiabetic evaluation via click chemistry. The antidiabetic evaluations have been done by molecular docking studies and in- vitro tests and against the DPP-4 enzyme. The molecular docking studies have revealed that compounds 22, 23, 29, and 30 showed hydrogen bond with the DPP-4 enzyme while in vitro tests has revealed the compound 30 has (IC50 values 12.
