Sitagliptin, a potent dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. This small molecule operates by enhancing the levels of active incretin hormones within the body, thereby facilitating the regulation of glucose levels. The mechanism behind Sitagliptin′s effectiveness lies in its ability to impede the action of dipeptidyl peptidase-4, the enzyme responsible for the degradation of incretin hormones. By inhibiting this enzyme, Sitagliptin increases the concentration of active incretin hormones, such as GLP-1 and GIP.
