Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibitory Activity of Berberine and Mangiferin: An In Silico Approach
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DDP-IV) Inhibitors may represent single anti-diabetic drugs, the multiple actions of which may translate into demonstrable therapeutic benefits in diabetes. The marketed synthetic DPP-IV Inhibitors are expensive drugs and have been reported to cause unacceptable adverse effects such as pancreatitis, angioedema, thyroid and pancreatic cancers. In this scenario, research to identify DPP-IV Inhibitors from alternative sources is desirable.
