Summary: Potential of DPP-4 Inhibition in the Treatment of T2DM DPP-4 is a ubiquitous enzyme that rapidly inactivates more than 5% of the glucostatic incretins GLP-1 and GIP Two approaches to prolonging incretin activity are: DPP-4 inhibitors (oral agents): inhibit the degradation of active incretins Incretin mimetics (injectable agents): degradation-resistant GLP-1 analogues Inhibiting DPP-4 results in: Improved islet cell function through increased levels of intact incretin hormones (GLP-1, GIP) Improved glycemic control DPP-4 = dipeptidyl peptidase-4; GIP = glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide; GLP-1 = glucagon-like peptide-1; T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus 25
Summary Vildagliptin inhibits DPP-4 resulting in Fasting and post prandial GLP-1 and GIP levels Enhanced islet function sensitivity of glucagon secretion to glucose sensitivity of insulin secretion to glucose 1st phase insulin secretion capacity to secrete insulin Post prandial triglycerides Insulin resistance No effect on gastric emptying 26

Conclusion The inhibition of DPP-4 enhances GLP-1 activities ; elevating insulin levels suppressing glucagon levels A DPP-4 inhibitor, Vildagliptin, normalizes hyperglycemic conditions without inducing AE and hypoglycemia. Combination of Vildagliptin with other anti-diabetic agents shows synergistic effects to further normalize hyperglycemia with high safety and efficacy. 51
