Teneligliptin was approved in September 2012 in Japan for the treatment of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Teneligliptin is a member of the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class of antidiabetes agents. DPP-4 is an enzyme that degrades GLP-1, a 30-amino acid peptide that is secreted in response to food intake. GLP-1 stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion, which leads to lower levels of plasma glucose. Teneligliptin is one of a growing numbers of DPP-4 inhibitors to be approved worldwide. The discovery of teneligliptin was guided by structure-based design, with a key element being binding of the phenyl group in the S2 pocket, which not only increases potency for DPP-4, but also improves selectivity versus DPP-8 and DPP- 9. Teneligliptin is a potent inhibitor of DPP-4 in the enzyme inhibition assay (IC₅₀=0.37 nM).
