1
Alogliptin
UNII EEN99869SC - ALOGLIPTIN BENZOATE
|
|
Alogliptin is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of DPP-4, >10,000-fold more selective for DPP-4 than other related enzymes including DPP-8 and DPP-9. Alogliptin improves glycaemic control via a glucose-dependent mechanism, whereby insulin release is enhanced and glucagon levels are suppressed when glucose levels are high. |

2
Metformin
UNII 786Z46389E - METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE
|
|
Metformin is a biguanide with antihyperglycaemic effects, lowering both basal and postprandial plasma glucose. It does not stimulate insulin secretion and therefore does not produce hypoglycaemia. |
