| DrugBank Description: | PSN9301 is an oral small molecule inhibitor of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DP-IV), being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. PSN9301 has a very rapid onset and a relatively short duration of action, and available pre-clinical and clinical data indicate that it may be an ideal product candidate for meal-related dosing. |
| CAS Number: | -- |
| Molecular Weight: | |
| DrugBank Indication: | Investigated for use/treatment in diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2. |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | -- |
| DrugBank MoA: | PSN9301 is an oral small molecule inhibitor of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DP-IV), an enzyme involved in the inactivation of the gut hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 plays an important role in regulating meal-related blood glucose by increasing the amount of insulin secreted in response to meals. PSN9301 increases GLP-1 activity and causes significant lowering of blood glucose levels. The increase in insulin secretion in response to GLP-1 is glucose-dependent, providing a built in safety mechanism against low blood glucose levels (hypoglycaemia) in response to treatment with DP-IV inhibitors. |
