 DPP-IV inhibitors(also known as “GLIPTINS”)  represent a class of oral antidiabetics.
 Principle of action: “Drugs, that prolong incretin action”
Oral glucose intake
Causes release of “gut hormones”(incretins)
Increases glucose-induced insulin secretion
Thus
Oral glucose load  provokes higher insulin response (as compared to glucose given i.v)
Katzung B. Basic & clinical pharmacology. 14th ed. San Francisco: McGraw-Hill Education; 2018. Pg: 761-62.

 Incretins include:
a. GLP-1(Glucagon-like peptide-1)
b. GIP(Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide)
GLP-1
Infused in Type-2 DM
Reduces blood glucose levels Stimulates insulin release

GLP-1  shows “glucose-dependent action”:
a. Increases insulin release only when BGL is high
b. No effect in euglycemia
c. Lower risk of hypoglycemia (as compared to sulfonylureas).
Other effects of GLP-1 include:
a. Suppression of glucagon secretion
b. Reduced gastric emptying
c. Reduced apoptosis of human islets

d. GLP-1
Reduces “feeding” (via CNS mechanism)
Thus
Type-2 DM patients on GLP-1 therapy  tend to be less hungry!

DPP-IV Endopeptidase 24.11
Degrade GLP-1
Converted into inactive form, eliminated by kidney
Solutions
GLP-1 agonists(resist
enzymatic
degradation & renal
clearance)
DPP-IV
inhibitors(inhibit
DPP-IV enzyme,
prolonging GLP-1
activity)

DPP-IV inhibitors
Block DPP-IV
Prolong action of endogenously released GLP-1 & GIP
Increase insulin
secretion in
response to meals
Reduce glucagon
secretion

 Bioavailability: 85%
 Half-life: 12 hours
 Drug  undergoes renal excretion  requires dosage adjustment in renal dysfunction!
 Metabolite activity: Nil
 Dosage adjustment for renal dysfunction:
a. If GFR = 30-50 ml/min  dose : 50 mg OD
b. If GFR < 30 ml/min  dose: 25 mg OD.
 Can be given as either “monotherapy”/ in combination with metformin, TZDs or SUs.
Tripathi K. Essentials of Medical Pharmacology. 8th ed. New Delhi: Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers; 2018. Pg: 297-98.

If the above PMS reports occur  discontinue drug immediately!!
Post marketing
surveillance
reports

Drug interactions:
a. Sitagliptin + OHAs  increased toxicity/effects of latter  monitor therapy!
b. Drug + ACE-Inhibitors  increased toxicity of latter  monitor therapy!
c. Drug + diuretics(loop, thiazide); corticosteroids  diminished hypoglycemic effect of
former  monitor therapy!
