Linagliptin (BI-1356) 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

Product Description
Information
Linagliptin (BI-1356) Linagliptin (BI-1356) 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 activat 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). 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). 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.
