Linagliptin (BI-1356, trade names Tradjenta (US), Trajenta (worldwide)) is a DPP-4 inhibitor developed by Boehringer Ingelheim for treatment of type II diabetes.
Linagliptin (once-daily) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 2 May 2011 for treatment of type II diabetes.[1] It is being marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly.
Medical uses
Results in 2010 from a Phase III clinical trial of linagliptin showed that the drug can effectively reduce blood sugar.[2]
Side effects
They may cause severe joint pain.[3]
Mechanism of action
Linagliptin is an inhibitor of DPP-4, an enzyme that degrades the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Both GLP-1 and GIP increase insulin biosynthesis and secretion from pancreatic beta cells in the presence of normal and elevated blood glucose levels. GLP-1 also reduces glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells, resulting in a reduction in hepatic glucose output. Thus, linagliptin stimulates the release of insulin in a glucose-dependent manner and decreases the levels of glucagon in the circulation.
