Drug Overview
Tenelia (teneligliptin; Mitsubishi Tanabe) is a member of the dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor class. DPP-IV is an enzyme responsible for the rapid degradation of the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is released postprandially from the gut. Inhibition of DPP-IV augments the amount of active GLP-1, which in turn triggers increased insulin secretion from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner and suppresses the release of glucagon, resulting in lowered blood glucose levels. Generic alogliptin was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in April 2016.
