Adverse Effects

Hypoglycemia.
Mechanism of Action
Incretin hormones, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are secreted from the gastrointestinal tract in response to a meal. Incretin hormones regulate plasma glucose levels by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin release from pancreatic beta cells and inhibiting glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells. The enzyme Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP-4) however, rapidly degrades both GLP-1 and GIP within a few minutes. Teneligliptin exerts its hypoglycemic action by suppressing the degradation of GLP-1 via inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzymes thereby increasing blood concentrations of active GLP-1. Teneligliptin inhibits human plasma DPP-4 activity in a concentration-dependent manner with an in vitro IC50 value (95% confidence interval) of 1.75 (1.62-1.89) nmol/L.
