| Bioactivity | NVP-DPP728 dihydrochloride is a potent, selective and orally active dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor with a Ki of 11 nM. NVP-DPP728 dihydrochloride can be used for the research of diabetes mellitus[1][2]. |
| Target | Ki: 11 nM (DPP-IV) |
| Invitro | NVPDPP728 inhibits human and rat plasma DPP-IV (IC50s: 5-10 nM) with >15 000-fold selectivity relative to DPP-II and a range of proline-cleaving proteases[1]. |
| In Vivo | NVP-DPP728 (3.72 mg/kg; p.o.) inhibits DPP-IV and improves insulin secretion and glucose tolerance, probably through augmentation of the effects of endogenous GLP-1[2]. Animal Model: |
