Cardiovascular Outcomes in GRADE (Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Type 2 Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study)
CONCLUSIONS: This comparative effectiveness study of a contemporary cohort of adults with type 2 diabetes, largely without established cardiovascular disease, suggests that liraglutide treatment may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients at relatively low risk compared with other commonly used glucose-lowering medications.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT01794143.PMID:38344820 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.066604 (Source: Circulation)

Biochemical evaluation and ligand binding studies on glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase from Staphylococcus aureus using STD-NMR spectroscopy and molecular docking analysis
In this study, competent E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS expression cells were used to express the GDPD enzyme from vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), which was then purified using size exclusion and anion exchange chromatography. The hydrolytic activity of GDPD was evaluated on the non-physiological substrate bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BpNPP), which indicated functional activity of the enzyme. 79 drugs were evaluated for their inhibitory potential against GDPD enzyme by the colorimetric assay. Out of 79 drugs, 13 drugs, including tenofovir (1), adenosine (2), clioquinol (11), bromazepam (12), lamotrigine (13), s...

Two-Year Therapeutic Efficacy and Safety of Initial Triple Combination of Metformin, Sitagliptin, and Empagliflozin in Drug-Na ïve Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients
CONCLUSION: Initial triple combination therapy with metformin, sitagliptin, and empagliflozin led to achievement of the glycemic target goal, which was maintained for 24 months without severe hypoglycemia but with improved metabolic function and albuminuria. This combination therapy may be a good strategy for drug-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.PMID:38273791 | DOI:10.4093/dmj.2023.0128 (Source: Diabetes and Metabolism Journal)

Low dose sulphonylurea plus DPP4 inhibitor lower blood glucose and enhance beta cell function without hypoglycaemia
CONCLUSIONS: Low dose sulphonylurea plus DPP4i has potent glucose lowering effect through augmentation of beta cell function. A double-blind randomised controlled trial would formalise efficacy and safety of this combination, which may avoid negative aspects of SU.PMID:38267622 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae033 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Combination of spironolactone and sitagliptin improves clinical outcomes of outpatients with COVID-19: a prospective cohort study
ConclusionsThe combination of sitagliptin and spironolactone reduced duration of COVID infection and hospital visits better than standard therapeutic approaches in outpatients with COVID-19. The effects of combination of sitagliptin and spironolactone in COVID-19 patients should be further verified in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Increased Thyroid DPP4 Expression is Associated with Inflammatory Process in Patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
CONCLUSIONS: The DPP4 expression was significantly increased in the thyroid of the HT group than in the control group, and mainly localized in the lymphocytes. Inhibition of lymphocyte DPP4 activity reduced the production of inflammatory factors in co-cultured thyroid cells. Therefore, inhibition of DPP4 may have a beneficial effect by alleviating inflammatory reactions in HT patients.PMID:38127960 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgad723 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of sitagliptin in animal models and possible mechanisms involved in the antinociceptive activity
CONCLUSIONS: : NO/cGMP/KATP, 5HT3 and D2 pathways play an important role in the antinociceptive effect of sitagliptin. Additionally significant anti-inflammatory effects observed in the carrageenan test might contribute in reduction of pain response in the second phase of the formalin test.PMID:38123184 | DOI:10.3344/kjp.23262 (Source: Korean Journal of Pain)

Efficacy and safety of teneligliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a Bayesian network meta-analysis
ConclusionCompared to sitagliptin, vildagliptin, metformin, bromocriptine, and placebo, teneligliptin displayed favorable efficacy and acceptable safety in treating T2DM. Twenty milligrams or 40 mg per day was the optimal dosage regimen of teneligliptin. The results of this study will provide important evidence-based basis for rational use of teneligliptin and clinical decision-making of T2DM medication. (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)
