Sitagliptin Structure

Sitagliptin is one of the most widely prescribed DPP-4 inhibitors on the market, and for good reason: it helps type 2 diabetes patients manage blood glucose without the dramatic peaks and troughs that come with some older therapies. By selectively blocking the DPP-4 enzyme, it extends the half-life of incretin hormones like GLP-1, which in turn boosts insulin release when glucose is high and keeps glucagon secretion in check. The result is a smoother, more physiological control of post-meal blood sugar—exactly what clinicians and patients are looking for.

We supply sitagliptin as a high-purity API (≥99% by HPLC) in its base form, ideal for formulation into oral tablets or combination therapies. Every batch is manufactured under strict quality controls and shipped with a complete COA, so you know exactly what you’re getting. Whether you’re planning a small pilot run or gearing up for commercial-scale production, we can match your volume—from 1 kg to metric tons—with reliable lead times and global logistics.

Function

  • DPP-4 Inhibition: Selective and reversible inhibition of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 enzyme, increasing active GLP-1 and GIP levels.
  • Glucose-Dependent Insulin Release: Enhances insulin secretion only when blood glucose is elevated, reducing the risk of hypoglycemia.
  • Glucagon Regulation: Suppresses glucagon secretion, further helping to lower hepatic glucose output.

Source & Purity

  • Purity: ≥99% (HPLC), meeting or exceeding pharmacopoeia standards for sitagliptin API.
  • Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder, consistent with high-quality API.
  • Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions; shelf life confirmed by stability studies.

Documentation & Supply

  • Documentation: COA, MSDS, TDS
  • Lead time: Ready stock for samples; 7-15 days for bulk orders, depending on volume.
  • Packaging: Available in double-layer polyethylene bags inside fiber drums (1-25 kg), or customized packaging per your request.
