Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV, EC 3.4.14.5) is an abundant serine aminopeptidase that preferentially cleaves N-terminal Xaa-Pro or Xaa-Ala dipeptides from oligopeptides. Inhibitors of DPP-IV activity are used for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and other diseases. DPP-IV is also involved in tumor progression. We identified four new non-peptide tight-binding competitive inhibitors of porcine DPP-IV by virtual screening and enzymatic assays. Molecular docking simulations supported the competitive behavior, and the selectivity of one of the compounds in the DPP-IV family. Since three of these inhibitors are also aminopeptidase N (APN) inhibitors, we tested their impact on APN+/DPP-IV+ and DPP-IV+ human tumor cells' viability. Using kinetic assays, we determined that HL-60 tumor cells express both APN and DPP-IV activities and that MDA-MB-231 tumor cells express DPP-IV activity. The inhibitors had a slight inhibitory effect on human HEK-293 cell viability but reduced the viability of APN+/DPP-IV+ and DPP-IV+ human tumor cells more potently. Remarkably, the intraperitoneal injection of these compounds inhibited DPP-IV activity in rat brain, liver, and pancreas. In silico studies suggested inhibitors binding to serum albumin contribute to blood-brain barrier crossing. The spectrum of action of some of these compounds may be useful for niche applications.
