Gemigliptin, an orally active, CD26 antigen (dipeptidyl peptidase IV or DPP IV) antagonist, was developed by LG Life Sciences (Seoul, Korea) and was approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug safety in June 2012 for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Zemiglo is the brand name of gemigliptin. The company also signed licensing agreement with multinational pharmaceutical companies including Sanofi (Paris, France), and at present gemigliptin is approved in India, Columbia, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador and a few other countries. Registration studies are currently ongoing in several countries including Russia, Mexico and Thailand. Various studies have proven the efficacy and safety of gemigliptin for the treatment of T2DM, both as monotherapy as well as in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs. Gemigliptin binds to the S1, S2, and S2 extensive subsites of the DPP-4 enzyme. The piperidinone group of gemigliptin binds to the S1 subsite, where the upside F atom on the piperidin ring forms a hydrogen bond with the side chain of Tyr631 and the downside F atom makes a hydrophobic interaction with the side chain of Tyr666 and Tyr662. In addition, the key interaction occurs between the CF3 groups on the pyrimidino piperidine and the S2 extensive subsite of the DPP-4 substrate, which enhances the potency of the drug and increases its selectivity as well. Gemigliptin is a reversible and competitive inhibitor of DPP-4 enzyme with a Ki value of 7.25 ± 0.67 nM. It acts as a long-acting DPP-4 inhibitor which inhibits DPP-4 in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, it showed at least >23,000 fold selectivity for proteases such as DPP-8, DPP-9, and fibroblast activating protein – α. By preventing degradation of GLP-1 by DPP-4 inhibition, it increases insulin secretion, reduces glucagon secretion, decreases HbA1c, and prevents β-cell damage. Gemigliptin has also been investigated for the treatment of cancer and cisplatin adverse reaction.
