Linagliptin (GSK2118436)

Synonyms: BI-1356

Linagliptin (GSK2118436) is a highly potent, selective DPP-4 inhibitor with IC50 of 1 nM and exhibits a 10,000-fold higher selectivity for DPP-4 than for other dipeptidyl peptidases such as DPP-2, DPP-8, and DPP-9. Linagliptin activates glomerular autophagy in a model of type 2 diabetes. DPP4 mediates ferroptosis in TP53-deficient CRC cells.

Biological Activity

Description Linagliptin (GSK2118436) is a highly potent, selective DPP-4 inhibitor with IC50 of 1 nM and exhibits a 10,000-fold higher selectivity for DPP-4 than for other dipeptidyl peptidases such as DPP-2, DPP-8, and DPP-9.

In vitro
In vitro

Linagliptin shows a potent inhibition effect against DPP-4 in vitro and a low affinity for hERG channel and M1 receptor (IC50 295 nM). [1] Linagliptin acts as a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 1 nM, and also shows 10,000-fold more selectivity for DPP-4 than DPP-8, DPP-9, amino-peptidases N and P, prolyloligopeptidase, trypsin, plasmin, and thrombin, and 90-fold more selectivity than fibroblast activation protein in vitro.

In vivo

In male Wistar rats, Beagle dogs, and Rhesus monkeys, Linagliptin shows a highly efficacious, long-lasting, and potent inhibitory activity against DPP-4 by more than 70% inhibition for all three species after oral administration of 1 mg/kg. Oral administration of Linagliptin to db/db mice 45 min before an oral glucose tolerance test reduces plasma glucose excursion in a dose-dependent manner from 0.1 mg/kg (15% inhibition) to 1 mg/kg (66% inhibition). [1] By inhibiting DPP-4 activity, Linagliptin reduces the expression of the proinflammatory markers cyclooxygenase-2 and macrophage inflammatory protein-2, and enhances the formation of myofibroblasts in healing wounds from ob/ob mice.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
