Inhibitors of Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 , also DPP-4 inhibitors, are a new class of oral hypoglycemics which block DPP-4.
Their mechanism of action is thought to result from increased Incretin levels (GLP-1 and GIP),[1][2][3] which, inhibit glucagon release (which increases the blood glucose) but more importantly increase insulin secretion and decrease gastric emptying.
Drugs belonging to this class are vildagliptin[4], sitagliptin[5] and saxagliptin.
Although extensive long-term, pre-clinical studies of the major DPP-4 inhibitors has failed to show any evidence of potential to cause tumors in laboratory animals, there was one in-vitro (i.e., test tube) study that has raised some questions. [6]
