Investigational Drug Details
Drug ID: | D338 |
Drug Name: | Sitagliptin |
Synonyms: | Sitagliptin |
Type: | Chemical drug |
DrugBank ID: | DB01261 |
DrugBank Description: | Sitagliptin is an oral dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor used in conjunction with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The effect of this medication leads to glucose dependent increases in insulin and decreases in glucagon to improve control of blood sugar. Sitagliptin was granted FDA approval on October 16, 2006. |

CasNo: | 486460-32-6 |
Repositioning for NAFLD: | Yes |
SMILES: | FC(F)(F)c1n2CCN(Cc2nn1)C(=O)C[C@H](N)Cc1c(F)cc(F)c(F)c1 |

InChiKey: | MFFMDFFZMYYVKS-SECBINFHSA-N |
Molecular Weight: | 407.318 |
DrugBank Targets: | Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor |
DrugBank MoA: | Inhibition of DPP-4 by sitagliptin slows DPP-4 mediated inactivation of incretins like GLP-1 and GIP. Incretins are released throughout the day and upregulated in response to meals as part of glucose homeostasis. Reduced inhibition of incretins increase insulin synthesis and decrease glucagon release in a manner dependant on glucose concentrations. These effects lead to an overall increase in blood glucose control which is demonstrated by reduced glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | Sitagliptin inhibits DPP-4 which leads to increased levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide(GIP), decreased levels of glucagon, and a stronger insulin response to glucose. |
DrugBank Indication: | Sitagliptin is indicated for the management of glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus along with diet and exercise. |
Targets: | DPP4 inhibitor |
Therapeutic Category: | Antidiabetic drug |
Clinical Trial Progress: | Phase 4 on-going (NCT05195944) |
Latest Progress: | Under clinical trials |
