OBESITY RESEARCH SOLUTIONSLinagliptin is a potent inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) with an IC50 value of 1 nM for human recombinant DPP-4.1 It is selective, with ≥10,000-fold selectivity for DPP-4 over a panel of 11 peptidases and proteases. Linagliptin (3 mg/kg) inhibits 90% of plasma DPP-4 activity in rat. It also dose-dependently decreases plasma glucose and increases plasma levels of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and insulin in Zucker diabetic fatty rats. Oral administration of linagliptin reduces HbA1c levels in mice with high-fat diet- and low-dose streptozotocin-induced diabetes.2 Formulations containing linagliptin have been used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.3
