The Nonglycemic Actions of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors
A cell surface serine protease, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4), cleaves dipeptide from peptides containing proline or alanine in the N-terminal penultimate position. Two important incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), enhance meal-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, but are inactivated by DPP-4. Diabetes and hype...
متن کاملDipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors and Bone Fractures
OBJECTIVE Thiazolidinediones and insulin are associated with a higher risk of fractures in type 2 diabetic patients. Incretin hormones increase bone density in experimental models, but the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors on bone fractures has not been reported so far. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A meta-analysis was performed including all randomized clinical trials with a ...
متن کاملDipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors for treatment of type 2 diabetes.
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors compared with metformin as monotherapy, or with other commonly used hypoglycaemic drugs combined with metformin, in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, conference proceedings...
متن کاملNavigating the chemical space of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors
This study represents the first large-scale study on the chemical space of inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), which is a potential therapeutic protein target for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Herein, a large set of 2,937 compounds evaluated for their ability to inhibit DPP4 was compiled from the literature. Molecular descriptors were generated from the geometrically optimized lo...
متن کاملDipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor
In the United States, nearly 13% of adults aged 20 years and older have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and its prevalence is still increasing (1,2). Microvascular and macrovascular abnormalities are common in patients with T2DM and are related to the severity and duration of hyperglycemia (3–5). Thus, treatment of hyperglycemia is an important way to prevent or delay diabetic vascular complic...
