Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Sitagliptin, also known as MK-0431, is a potent inhibitor of DPP4. Sitagliptin is believed to exert its actions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by slowing the inactivation of incretin hormones. By increasing and prolonging active incretin levels, sitagliptin increases insulin release and decreases glucagon levels in the circulation in a glucose-dependent manner. Sitagliptin demonstrates selectivity for DPP-4 and does not inhibit DPP-8 or DPP-9 activity in vitro at concentrations approximating those from therapeutic doses.

Product Data
Biological target:
Sitagliptin is a potent and orally active inhibitor of DPP4 with an IC50 of 19 nM in Caco-2 cell extracts.
In vitro activity:
Sitagliptin induces differentiation of tolerogenic dendritic cells, and the effect is important when considering sitagliptin for treating autoimmune diseases and allotransplant rejection. Sitagliptin impaired differentiation and maturation of human dendritic cells generated from monocytes (MoDCs), while the expression of CD26, tolerogenic DC markers, and production of immunoregulatory cytokines increased. Sitagliptin inhibited p65 expression of NF-kB and p38MAPK during the maturation of MoDCs. Reference: Int J Mol Sci. 2023 Nov 27;24(23):16829. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38069152/
In vivo activity:
Sitagliptin showed significant antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects. In the carrageenan test, sitagliptin significantly reduced paw thickness in male Wistar rats. Pretreatment with yohimbine, prazosin, propranolol, naloxone, and cyproheptadine could not reverse the antinociceptive effect of sitagliptin, which indicates that adrenergic, opioid, and serotonin receptors are not involved in the antinociceptive effects. L-NAME, methylene blue, glibenclamide, ondansetron, and sulpiride were able to reverse this effect. Reference: Korean J Pain. 2023 Dec 21. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38123184/
