Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including

Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor discovered by Boehringer Ingelheim and being developed as an oral once-daily tablet for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Linagliptin was first approved by FDA in 2011 under the trade name Tradjenta as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Linagliptin binds to DPP-4 (an enzyme that degrades the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)) in a reversible manner and thus increases the concentrations of incretin hormones. Linagliptin glucose dependently increases insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion, thus resulting in better regulation of glucose homeostasis. Linagliptin binds selectively to DPP-4, and selectively inhibits DPP-4 but not DPP-8 or DPP-9 activity in vitro at concentrations approximating therapeutic exposures.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Linagliptin does not cross the blood brain barrier, and therefore its effects are peripheral rather than directly in the central nervous system.

The recommended dose of Tradjenta is 5 mg once daily, tablets can be taken with or without food.
Route of Administration: Oral
To study dissociation of BI 1356 (linagliptin) from the DPP-4 enzyme Caco-2 cell extract was preincubated with BI 1356 at concentration of 30 nM for, high above the respective Ki value of 1 nM. The enzymatic reaction was started by adding the substrate after a 3000-fold dilution of the preincubation mixture. Enzyme rates in the presence of BI 1356 were measured at different times after dilution (v in relative fluorescence units/seconds × 1000) and corrected for the rate of an uninhibited reaction. koff rate was obtained from a one-phase exponential decay equation fitted to the data points. The calculated koff rate for BI 1356 was 3.0 × 10(–5)/s.
