Journal: Genotoxic and cytotoxic assessment of sitagliptin and simvastatin alone and in combination. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 26, 2022 The genotoxic assay spotted that Simvastatin produced less damage to DNA with the threshold of 500μg/ml whereas Sitagliptin significantly damage above the 250μg/mL, However, combination of drugs produced lesser damage than Sitagliptin alone. The findings concluded a non-genotoxic combination of sitagliptin and simvastatin which possess a least cytotoxic potential suggesting the safe use of the combination both in T2DM and CHD.

Review, Journal: Vascular AMPK: enhancer, brake or both? (Pubmed Central) - Mar 30, 2021 The vascular protective effects of certain anti-diabetic (metformin and sitagliptin) or lipid-lowering (simvastatin and fenofibrate) therapeutic agents, of active components of Chinese medicinal herbs (resveratrol and berberine) and of pharmacological agents (AICAR, A769662 and PT1) have been attributed to the activation of AMPK (in endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and/or perivascular adipocytes), independently of changes in the metabolic profile (eg glucose tolerance and/or plasma lipoprotein levels), leading to improved endothelium-derived nitric oxide-mediated vasodilatation and attenuated endothelium-derived cyclooxygenase-dependent vasoconstriction...Therefore, AMPK activation is not necessarily beneficial in terms of endothelial function. The contribution of endothelial AMPK in the regulation of vascular tone, in particular in the microvasculature where EDH plays a more important role, remains to be characterized.

Retrospective data, Journal: Epidemiology of Acute Pancreatitis in Southern Israel: A Retrospective Study. (Pubmed Central) - May 23, 2020 Furthermore, drug-induced pancreatitis is a common etiology, with disothiazide being the most common drug associated with pancreatitis followed by ACE-Inhibitors, sitagliptin, and simvastatin. Recurrence of pancreatitis is common in this geographic area, and older age, advanced CTSI grading, bilateral pleural effusion, and being single are all poor prognostic predictive factors.
