Gemigliptin tartrate

Gemigliptin tartrate (LC15-0444 tartrate) is a highly selective, reversible and competitive dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 10.3 nM for human recombinant DPP-4. Gemigliptin tartrate exhibits potent anti-glycation properties. Gemigliptin tartrate can be used for the research of advanced glycation end products (AGE)-related diabetic complications[1][2].

IC50: 10.3 nM (human recombinant DPP-4)[2]

Gemigliptin tartrate dose-dependently inhibits the formation of AGE-BSA with IC50 of 11.69 mM[1]. Gemigliptin tartrate dose-dependently suppresses the cross-linking of preformed AGE-BSA with rat tail tendon collagen with an IC50 of 1.39 mM[1]. Gemigliptin tartrate is a competitive DPP-4 inhibitor with a Ki of 7.25 nM[2].

Gemigliptin tartrate (100 mg/kg; i.g.; daily; for 12 weeks) inhibits AGEs formation and AGE cross-links in vivo[1]. Gemigliptin tartrate dose-dependently inhibits plasma DPP-4 activity in rats, dogs, and monkeys[2]. Animal Model: Male C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice (7 weeks old)[1] Dosage: 100 mg/kg Administration: Oral gavage, daily, for 12 weeks Result: Significantly reduced circulating AGE levels by 44.5% in serum.
