Vildagliptin; Inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) this mechanism results in prevention of degradation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and reduction of glycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with low risk for hypoglycemia and no weight gain. This drug covalently binds to the catalytic site of DPP-4, resulting in prolonged enzyme inhibition. This increases intact GLP-1 levels, both in the fasting state and after taking a meal. Vildagliptin stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. At hypoglycemic levels, the counterregulatory glucagon response is enhanced relative to baseline by vildagliptin. Vildagliptin also inhibits glucose production in the liver, by changes in islet hormone secretion, and improves insulin sensitivity. These effects result in improved glycaemia with low risk for hypoglycemia. Vildagliptin also suppresses the levels of postprandial triglyceride (Triglyceride)-rich lipoprotein after ingestion of a fat-rich meal and reduces fasting lipolysis(lipid breakdown), resulting in inhibition of fat absorption and decreased Triglyceride stores in non-fat tissues.
