Application

Vildagliptin has been used:
  • as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor to study its effects on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) pathway under diabetic conditions
  • in pharmacological inhibition to investigate the kinetics of transposable element (TE) desilencing and confirm its dependence on DPF-3 (a P-granule-localized N-terminal dipeptidase) enzymatic activity
  • to study its electrochemical properties and determination in biological fluid and drug forms

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vildagliptin ia a selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4). This enzyme breaks down the incretins GLP-1 and GIP, gastrointestinal hormones that are released in response to a meal. By preventing GLP-1 and GIP inactivation, GLP-1 and GIP are able to potentiate the secretion of insulin and suppress the release of glucagon by the pancreas.
Vildagliptin may participate in lipid metabolism. It plays a key role in attenuating postprandial hypertriglyceridemia, reducing serum triglycerides, apolipoprotein B, and blood total cholesterol levels. Vildagliptin is used in diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) therapy and may also possess vasculoprotective properties. Vildagliptin also helps to improve mitochondrial dysfunction caused by diabetes.

Small RNA pathways defend the germlines of animals against selfish genetic elements, yet pathway activities need to be contained to prevent silencing of self genes. Here, we reveal a proteolytic mechanism that controls endogenous small interfering (22G) RNA activity in

Vildagliptin is a representative of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, antihyperglycemic drugs, approved for use as monotherapy and combination therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. By inhibiting enzymatic decomposition, DPP-4 inhibitors increase the half-life of incretins such as GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1)

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-i) effects on cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury are unclear. Unlike SGLT2-i, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4-i) have shown effective cardioprotection in cardiac I/R injury. We aimed to investigate whether SGLT2-i reduces myocardial dysfunction and myocardial injury
