MOLECULAR DOCKING STUDY ON DIPEPTIDYL PEPTIDASE-4 INHIBITORS

K. Anitha, G. Gopi, Girish, P. Senthil Kumar

Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-IV inhibitors are a new approach to the treatment of type 2 diabetes. DPP-IV is a member of a family of serine peptidases that includes quiescent cell proline dipeptidase (QPP), DPP8, and DPP9. DPP-IV is a key regulator of incretin hormones, but the functions of other family members are unknown. To determine the importance of selective DPP-IV inhibition for the treatment of diabetes, we conducted molecular docking studies on clinical inhibitors of DPP-IV.
