Journal: Drug Repurposing: Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP4) Inhibitors as Potential Agents to Treat SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) Infection. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 13, 2021 These computational studies led to the identification of three marketed DPP4 inhibitors; gemigliptin, linagliptin and evogliptin as potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 M viral cysteine protease. In addition, our computational modeling shows that these drugs have the potential to inhibit other viral cysteine proteases from the beta coronavirus family, including the SAR-CoV M and MERS-CoV CL suggesting their potential to be repurposed as broad-spectrum antiviral agents.

[VIRTUAL] Liraglutide and robust A1c reductions in patients requiring appetite control: a review of two cases () - Dec 26, 2020 - Abstract #ASHP2020ASHP_3384; A clinical pharmacist had managed his A1c down from 12.8 percent to 8.8 percent with sitagliptin 100mg daily, and large doses of insulin up to glargine U-100 80 units twice daily and aspart 50 units with meals; he had not tolerated metformin...Upon referral to the clinical pharmacist, his baseline A1c of 13.6 percent was managed with linagliptin 5mg daily and insulin degludec U-100 40 units daily; he had not tolerated metformin...When appetite control is a major barrier to overall control of A1c, the GLP-1 RA liraglutide may help patients to significantly reduce food intake to appropriate levels, resulting in impressive and unexpected reductions in A1c beyond the anticipated 1 percent; in these cases, 3.0 to 6.5 percent reductions from initiation of liraglutide. This may remove or greatly reduce the need for insulin treatment and adverse effects of hypoglycemia and weight gain.

Journal: Knockdown of LncRNA-H19 Ameliorates Kidney Fibrosis in Diabetic Mice by Suppressing miR-29a-Mediated EndMT. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 17, 2020 We have shown that the DPP-4 inhibitor linagliptin can inhibit endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) and ameliorate diabetic kidney fibrosis associated with DPP-4 protein levels via the induction of miR-29...H19, miR-29a, and EndMT contribute to a regulatory network involved in kidney fibrosis, and are associated with regulation of the TGF-β/SMAD3 singling pathway. This study indicates that inhibition of LncRNA H19 represents a novel anti-fibrotic treatment for diabetic kidney diseases.

Journal: Linagliptin affects IRS1/Akt signaling and prevents high glucose-induced apoptosis in podocytes. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 17, 2020 In summary, linagliptin offers protection against DKD by enhancing IRS1/Akt insulin signalling in podocytes and partially via the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway. Our findings suggest that linagliptin may induce protective effects in patients with DKD, and increasing IRS1 levels could be a potential therapeutic target in DKD.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Anti-inflammatory properties of antidiabetic drugs: A "promised land" in the COVID-19 era? (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2020
Based on the above, it is clinically interesting to elucidate whether antidiabetic drugs may reduce inflammation, thus possibly minimizing the risk for COVID-19 development and severity. The present narrative review discusses the potential anti-inflammatory properties of certain antidiabetic drugs (i.e. metformin, pioglitazone, sitagliptin, linagliptin, vildagliptin, alogliptin, saxagliptin, liraglutide, dulaglutide, exenatide, lixisenatide, semaglutide, empagliflozin, dapagliflozin, canagliflozin), with a focus on CRP, IL-6 and ferritin.

(Pubmed Central) - Nov 1, 2020 Linagliptin, a clinically available DPP4 inhibitor, was observed to abrogate the soluble DPP4-induced expression of fibrotic proteins...Our data extend the current view of soluble DPP4. Elevated levels of circulating soluble DPP4 may contribute to one of the mediators that induce dermal fibrosis in patients.

His medication list included enalapril, valsartan, carvedilol, clonidine, amlodipine, hydralazine, isosorbide mononitrate, ranolazine, aspirin, warfarin, amiodarone, erythropoietin, rosuvastatin, sevelamer, linagliptin, and insulin...The combined use of sacubitril/valsartan and evolocumab in our patient for 10 months resulted in an improvement of his EF from 15% to 60%, most likely due to a significant improvement of coronary blood flow with a recovery of hibernating ischemic myocardium. Therefore, additional studies are highly recommended to explore the beneficial effect of these medications used in combination.

Journal: Glucocorticoids mobilize macrophages by transcriptionally up-regulating the exopeptidase DPP4. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 24, 2020 Moreover, glucocorticoid-induced DPP4 activation was also observed in proinflammatory M1-polarized murine macrophages, as well as peritoneal macrophages, and was associated with increased macrophage migration. Our results indicate that glucocorticoids directly up-regulate DPP4 expression and thereby induce migration in macrophages, potentially explaining why glucocorticoid therapy is less effective in controlling macrophage-dominated inflammatory disorders.

Minoxidil must be considered as a probable cause of atraumatic drug induced chylous ascites.

OBJECTIVES : Agents that inhibit the dipeptidylpeptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzyme, including linagliptin, alogliptin, saxagliptin, sitagliptin and vildagliptin, become available for the treatment of Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)...Sensitivity analyses showed that the most influential parameters were the cost of DPP-4 inhibitors and their treatment efficacy. CONCLUSIONS : These results suggested that alogliptin was a preferred treatment option compared with other DPP-4 inhibitors for Chinese patients with T2DM inadequately controlled on metformin monotherapy.

Despite some residual limitations linked to differences in study populations and patient characteristics, the cardiorenal protective actions of SGLT-2 inhibitors, and to a lesser extent by some GLP-1 agonists, make them favorable medications for patients with T2D at increased cardiorenal risk. There is room for optimism that their use may change the paradigm of the ineluctable progression of DKD.
