PURPOSE: Available data on the effects of anti-diabetic drugs on fracture risk are contradictory. Therefore, our study aimed to analyze all available data on the effects of anti-diabetic drugs on fracture risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS: Embase, Medline, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched for relevant trials. All data analyses were performed with STATA (12.0) and R language (3.6.0). Risk ratio (RR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated by combining data for the fracture effects of anti-diabetic drugs, including sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, meglitinides, α-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, biguanides, insulin, and sulfonylureas...

The susceptibility to stress-elicited disorders is markedly influenced by sex. Women are twice as likely as men to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety disorders, and social impairments following exposure to traumatic stress. However, most of the studies in animal models examining putative therapeutics for stress-triggered impairments, including single prolonged stress (SPS), were performed predominantly with males. Previous studies in males demonstrated that intranasal neuropeptide Y (NPY) can provide therapeutic relief of many SPS-triggered behaviors, but is ineffective in females at the same dose...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent liver disease with high morbidity. Omarigliptin is a novel antidiabetic drug that inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and alleviates inflammation and insulin resistance. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative stress property of omarigliptin will be investigated to explore the potential therapeutic effects of omarigliptin on NAFLD in mice models. A high-fat diet (HFD) was used to induce a NAFLD model in mice. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and detection on the concentrations of total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) were used to evaluate lipid accumulation of the liver tissues...

AIMS: To date, no clinical studies have compared once-weekly dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors with once-daily DPP-4 inhibitors in terms of glucose variability (GV) and oxidative stress (OS). METHODS: Thirty-six patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with once-daily DPP-4 inhibitors for at least 12 weeks were randomized to either continue once-daily DPP-4 inhibitors or receive omarigliptin, a once-weekly DPP-4 inhibitor, for 24 weeks. The primary end points were changes in the diacron-reactive oxygen metabolite (d-ROMs) test, a marker of OS, and GV using flash glucose monitoring...

Cellular senescence is one of the most significant factors involved in aging and age-related diseases. Senescence of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) adversely affects the function of the cardiovascular system and contributes to the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, and other cardiovascular diseases. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an important incretin hormone involved in insulin release and vascular tone. GLP-1 is quickly degraded by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). Omarigliptin is a new DPP-4 inhibitor that has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidative stress properties...

AIMS: Meta-analyses of randomized trials on Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) reported discordant results on major cardiovascular events (MACE), mortality, and heart failure. Aim of this meta-analysis of randomized trials is the assessment of the cardiovascular safety of DPP4i. DATA SYNTHESIS: A Medline, Embase, Cochrane database search for sitagliptin, vildagliptin, omarigliptin, saxagliptin, alogliptin, trelagliptin, anagliptin, linagliptin, gemigliptin, evogliptin, and teneligliptin was performed up to up January 1st, 2020...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a complication of diabetes that induces the development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The pathogenesis of DN is reported to be closely related to the activation of the NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in renal glomerular endothelial cells. Omarigliptin is a novel dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor developed for the management of type II diabetes, it has been recently reported to possess a significant anti-inflammatory property. This study aims to explore the potential therapeutic effects of Omarigliptin on DN...

Combination therapy is a common approach for clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially for patients with poor monotherapy. Meta-analysis suggested that omarigliptin, a long-acting DPP-4 inhibitor, combined with pioglitazone might improve the side effects of pioglitazone. However, little is known about the pharmacokinetic properties after a coadministration. In this study, a rapid and reliable method for the simultaneous determination of the pioglitazone and omarigliptin in rat plasma by UHPLC-MS/MS was established and validated for the first time...

BACKGROUND: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a serine exopeptidase able to inactivate various oligopeptides, and also a hepatokine. Hepatocyte-specific overexpression of DPP4 is associated with hepatic insulin resistance and liver steatosis. METHOD: We examined whether weekly DPP4 inhibitor omarigliptin (OMG) can improve liver function as well as levels of inflammation and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)...

The authors in the current work suggested the potential repurposing of omarigliptin (OMR) for neurodegenerative diseases based on three new findings that support the preliminary finding of crossing BBB after a single dose study in the literature. The first finding is the positive results of the docking study with the crystal structures of A2A adenosine (A2AAR) and acetylcholine esterase (AChE) receptors. A2AAR is a member of non-dopaminergic GPCR superfamily receptor proteins and has essential role in regulation of glutamate and dopamine release in Parkinson's disease while AChE plays a major role in Alzheimer's disease as the primary enzyme responsible for the hydrolytic metabolism of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetate...

AIMS: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding the once-weekly oral DPP-4 inhibitor omarigliptin to treatment of Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control on insulin monotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a 52-week clinical trial, Japanese patients on insulin monotherapy were randomized to once-weekly omarigliptin 25 mg (N=123) or placebo (N=61) for a 16-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled period. After Week 16, patients continued or switched to omarigliptin for a 36-week open-label period...

INTRODUCTION: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors are widely used in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on maintenance hemodialysis (HD), but the efficacy of the once-weekly DPP4 inhibitor omarigliptin is not known. METHODS: This prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, non-inferiority/superiority, once-daily DPP4 inhibitor linagliptin-controlled, multicenter study examined glycemic control and safety of omarigliptin (UMIN000024284)...

In a contribution to stability profiling of the recent antidiabetic drug, omarigliptin (OMR), two stability-indicating chromatographic methods were developed and validated. Stability profiling was performed for OMR under different stress conditions as acidic, alkaline, oxidative, photolytic and thermal degradations. Structures elucidation to all formed degradation products were identified using IR and mass spectrometry. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) were used...

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an important barrier that separates brain tissue from peripheral blood. The permeability of the BBB can be destroyed by external harmful factors, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which contributes to neuroinflammation and central nervous system diseases. The present study aims to investigate the protective effects of Omarigliptin against LPS-induced neuroinflammation and the underlying mechanism using a series of both in vivo and in vitro experiments. A neuroinflammation model was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS into mice...

Enhancing drug extraction from human plasma is a challenging approach that critically affects pharmacokinetic and any further clinical studies based on the drug Cmin and Cmax values. It also has a serious impact on the sensitivity and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) value of the bio-analytical methods. An advanced liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) bio-analytical method of omarigliptin (25-1000 nM) was established in human plasma using one-step liquid-liquid extraction. Alogliptin was used as an internal standard (IS) to attain good recovery and reproducibility while reducing the effects of the matrix...

In the present work, a novel series of trifluoromethyl substituted tetrahydropyran derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized as potent DPP-4 inhibitors with significantly improved duration time of action over current commercially available DPP-4 inhibitors. The incorporation of trifluoromethyl group on the 6-position of the tetrahydropyran ring of omarigliptin with the configuration of (2R,3S,5R,6S) not only significantly improve the overall pharmacokinetic profiles in mice, but also keep comparable DPP-4 inhibition activities...

PURPOSE: An increasing body of evidence suggests that dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors could play a role in the development of bullous pemphigoid. The knowledge regarding this association is based on case reports, pharmacovigilance database analyses, and observational studies. Data from randomized clinical trials are a relevant source of information on adverse events. Since no single trial has a sufficient power to assess the risk of very rare adverse events, such as pemphigoid, metanalyses of RCTs could be a useful tool for exploring this issue...

Background: Omarigliptin is a potent, selective, oral dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitor with a half-life that allows weekly dosing. Inflammation or insulin resistance might be pathological mediators of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Whether omarigliptin has anti-inflammatory effects that result in decreased levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and anti-insulin resistance effects that decrease levels of homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were investigated...
