Product Description

Linagliptin (formerly known as BI-1356; trade names Tradjenta and Trajenta) is a xanthine-based, highly potent, selective, and competitive DPP-4 inhibitor based on xanthine that may have anti-diabetic effects. At an IC50 of 1 nM, it inhibits DPP-4. The breakdown of incretins like GLP-1, which is crucial to the process of glucose metabolism, is largely mediated by DPP-4. DPP-4, which is found on the capillary endothelium close to the L-cells where GLP-1 is secreted in the ileum, quickly truncates GLP-1 under physiological conditions. The FDA approved linagliptin on May 2, 2011, for the treatment of type II diabetes. Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim are the companies marketing it.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Ferroptosis; DPP-4 (IC50 = 1 nM)
ln Vitro
Linagliptin has a low affinity for the hERG channel and M1 receptor (IC50 295 nM) and a strong inhibitory effect against DPP-4 in vitro.[1] Linagliptin exhibits 10,000-fold higher selectivity for DPP-4 than DPP-8, DPP-9, amino-peptidases N and P, prolyloligopeptidase, trypsin, plasmin, and thrombin, as well as 90-fold higher selectivity than fibroblast activation protein in vitro. Furthermore, it functions as a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 1 nM.[2]
ln Vivo
Linagliptin demonstrates a highly effective, prolonged, and potent inhibitory activity against DPP-4 by more than 70% inhibition for all three species following oral administration of 1 mg/kg in male Wistar rats, Beagle dogs, and Rhesus monkeys. When Linagliptin is given orally to db/db mice 45 minutes prior to an oral glucose tolerance test, plasma glucose excursion decreases from 0.1 mg/kg (15% inhibition) to 1 mg/kg (66% inhibition) in a dose-dependent manner.[1] Linagliptin inhibits DPP-4 activity, which decreases the expression of proinflammatory markers such as macrophage inflammatory protein-2 and cyclooxygenase-2. Additionally, it increases the formation of myofibroblasts in wound healing from ob/ob mice.[3]
Enzyme Assay
The EDTA plasma (20 μL) is combined with 50 μL of H-Ala-Pro-7-amido-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin after being diluted with 30 μL of DPP-4 assay buffer (100 mM Tris and 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.8 corrected with HCl). To get a final concentration of 100 μM, the 200 mM stock solution in dimethylformamide is diluted 1:1000 with water. After 10 minutes of room temperature incubation, the fluorescence in the wells is measured using a Victor 1420 Multilabel Counter set to 405 nm for excitation and 535 nm for emission. In place of 20 μL of plasma, 100 μg of protein from the corresponding wound lysates is used to detect DPP-4 activity in the lysates. Utilizing the Mouse/Rat Total Active GLP-1 Assay Kit, active GLP-1 is also identified in 100 μg of the corresponding wound tissue samples.
Cell Assay
In 24-well plates, 4.0×107 keratinocytes are seeded per well. Following 50% confluence, cells are starved with DMEM for a full day. Using 1 μCi/mL of [3H]methyl-thymidine in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum and varying concentrations of linagliptin (3, 30, 300, or 600 nM) for 24 hours, the proliferation of cells is measured. Following two rounds of washing with phosphate-buffered saline, the cells are incubated for 30 minutes at 4°C in 5% trichloroacetic acid. Subsequently, the DNA is solubilized for 30 minutes at 37°C in 0.5mol/LNaOH. At last, the incorporation of [3H]thymidine is found.
Animal Protocol
There are ten separate ob/ob mice (n=10) in each experimental group (car or linagliptin treatment). Animals are given oral treatment once a day (8:00 AM) either with linagliptin (3 mg/kg body weight in 1% methylcellulose) or vehicle (1% methylcellulose) starting two days (day−2) prior to wounding. Animals that have been wounded are then given treatment once a day for ten days.

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
