Application and Effect

Linagliptin (TrajentaR, TradjentaTM, TrazentaTM, TrayentaTM) is an oral, highly selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and is the first agent of its class to be eliminated predominantly via a nonrenal route. Linagliptin is indicated for once daily use for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Linagliptin acts to lower blood glucose levels by inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, thereby preventing the degradation of the incretin hormones (glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide) and attenuating postprandial glucose excursions.
