Objective: A simple, rapid and validated liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of three novel Gliptins namely Vildagliptin (VLD), Sitagliptin (SIT) and Linagliptin (LIN) in their binary mixture with Metformin (MET). Methodology: The separation was performed on fast monolithic column using isocratic, mobile phase consisting of mixture of sodium dihyd...

Incretin based therapies have been introduced into the treatment options of type 2 diabetes a few years ago. Among them, the orally active DPP-4 inhibitors have established themselves as insulinotropic agents. Their advantage is the glucose-dependent insulinotropic action without an intrinsic risk for causing hypoglycemia. Additionally DPP-4 inhibitors have a glucose dependent glucagonostatic a...

A novel, stability indicating, reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed to determine the S-isomer of linagliptin (LGP) in linagliptin and metformin hydrochloride (MET HCl) tablets (LGP-MET HCl) by implementing design of experiment (DoE), i.e., two-level, full factorial design (2³ + 3 centre points = 11 experiments) to understand the critical method par...

AIM The association between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is), a class of anti-diabetes, and bone fracture in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is unknown. This meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of DPP-4is on bone fracture in T2DM patients. METHODS We searched the Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception through Apr...

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are oral antidiabetic agents that hold the potential of slowing the progress of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Their long-term safety is still a subject of debate. A systematic review of randomized, controlled trials was undertaken to comprehensively profile the safety of chronic treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with DPP-4 inhibitors. We searched data s...
