Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes: focus on sitagliptin

G A Herman et al. Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2007 May.

Abstract

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors represent a new class of oral antihyperglycemic agents to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. DPP-4 inhibitors improve fasting and postprandial glycemic control without hypoglycemia or weight gain. This article focuses on the physiology, clinical pharmacology, tolerability, and clinical utility of the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin in the management of type 2 diabetes.
