Product Name:Vildagliptin
CAS #:274901-16-5
Mode of Action:
Vildagliptin inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). This in turn inhibits the inactivation of GLP-1 by DPP-4, allowing GLP-1 to potentiate the secretion of insulin in the beta cells. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4’s role in blood glucose regulation is thought to be through degradation of GIP and the degradation of GLP-1.
