Biochem/physiol Actions

Sitagliptin is an orally active, potent and selective dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4; DPP-IV) inhibitor (IC50 = 18 nM) with excellent selectivity over other proline-selective peptidases (IC50 = 48 μM/DPP8, >100 μM/DPP9 & QPP). Sitagliptin improves glucose tolerance in lean mice (23% and 55% reduction of blood glucose post 5 g dextrose/kg with 0.1 or 3 mg Sitagliptin/kg p.o. 60 min prior to dextrose challenge) and in DIO mice (68% and 90% reduction of blood glucose post 2 g dextrose/kg with 0.3 or 3 mg Sitagliptin/kg p.o.) as a result of DPP-IV inhibition and upregulated GLP-1 level in blood in vivo.

Diabetic nephropathy, a major threat to diabetic patients, is considered as the main reason for end-stage renal disease. Fortunately, incretin-based therapy has been aroused as considerable source to attenuate diabetic renal damage. This study aimed to investigate whether superior protective

We previously tested two angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and two dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors for dual enzyme inhibitory effect. Only two DPP-4 inhibitors, linagliptin and sitagliptin, were able to inhibit ACE. In the present study, we investigated if other inhibitors

Emerging evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have many anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties, which makes it a suitable candidate for the treatment of many diseases including metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, a major difficulty with stem cell therapy is to
