Abstract EN
Sitagliptin is a member of a class of drugs that inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-4).
It increases the levels of the active form of incretins such as GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) or GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide) and by their means positively affects glucose metabolism.
It is successfully applied in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2.
The most recent scientific reports suggest beneficial effect of sitagliptin on diseases in which neuron damage occurs.
Result of experimental studies may indicate a reducing influence of sitagliptin on inflammatory response within encephalon area.
Sitagliptin decreased the levels of proinflammatory factors: TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α), IL-6 (interleukin-6), IL-17 (interleukin-17), and CD-163 (cluster of differentiation 163), and contributed to an increase in levels of anti-inflammatory factors: IL-10 (interleukin-10) and TGF-β (transforming growth factor β).
Moreover, sitagliptin demonstrated antioxidative and antiapoptotic properties by modifying glutamate and glutathione levels within the region of hippocampus in mice.
It has been observed that sitagliptin decreases accumulation of β-amyloid within encephalon structures in experimental models of Alzheimer’s dementia.
This effect may be connected with SDF-1α (stromal cell-derived factor 1α) concentration.
Administration of sitagliptin caused a significant improvement in MMSE (Mini–Mental State Examination) tests used for assessment of dementias.
The paper presents potential mechanisms of sitagliptin activity in conditions connected with neuroinflammation with special emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease.
