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.

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

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)
