Mechanism of action

DWP14012 works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which normally breaks down incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). By preventing this degradation, the drug increases circulating levels of these hormones, which stimulate insulin secretion in response to meals and suppress glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. This mechanism is particularly effective in postprandial (after-meal) glucose control.
