Mechanism of action

The drug inhibits DPP-4, an enzyme that degrades glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). By preventing degradation of these incretin hormones, the drug enhances their glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin secretion and suppression of glucagon, thereby lowering blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
