Sitagliptin

Từ đồng nghĩa: (3R)-3-Amino-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-7-yl]-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butan-1-one, Januvia, Xelevia, Tesavel, Sitagliptin phosphate

Sitagliptin is a highly selective dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that enhances incretin hormone activity. Its structure features a trifluorophenyl β-amino ketone linked to a triazolopyrazine ring, a combination that yields nanomolar potency and excellent target selectivity. The compound is typically manufactured as the phosphate salt (CAS 654671-78-0) to improve aqueous solubility and oral bioavailability.

First approved in 2006, sitagliptin remains a cornerstone in type 2 diabetes management. It is available in various polymorphic forms, with Form I being the most thermodynamically stable and widely used in solid dosage forms. The API is produced under cGMP conditions and is characterized by high chiral purity, with the (R)-enantiomer as the active configuration.

As a leading DPP-4 inhibitor, sitagliptin serves as a reference standard in analytical labs and a key active ingredient in fixed-dose combinations with metformin. Its well-established safety profile and predictable pharmacokinetics make it a preferred choice for formulators targeting glycemic control.

Cấu trúc và tính chất hóa học

Sitagliptin’s molecular framework consists of a trifluoromethyl-substituted triazolopyrazine fused ring attached to a β-amino ketone side chain bearing a 2,4,5-trifluorophenyl group. This arrangement creates a rigid, lipophilic scaffold that fits snugly into the DPP-4 active site. The free base has a molecular weight of 407.31 g/mol and is practically insoluble in water, but the phosphate salt markedly improves solubility, facilitating oral administration.

Cơ chế tác dụng

• DPP-4 inhibition: Reversibly binds to the catalytic site of DPP-4, blocking the degradation of GLP-1 and GIP.
• Incretin enhancement: Increases active GLP-1 levels, leading to glucose-dependent insulin secretion.
• Glucagon suppression: Reduces glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cells, lowering hepatic glucose output.
• Gastric emptying: Slows nutrient absorption, contributing to postprandial glucose control.
