  • Diabetes mellitus is a systemic chronic metabolic disease caused by a blood glucose level higher than normal level due to loss of blood glucose control. It is basically classified into four categories, including: type I (insulin-dependent) and type II (non-insulin-dependent), the other type and gestational diabetes. Type I and type II diabetes are primary diabetes, which are the two most common forms caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The cause of diabetes is very complicated, but in the final analysis, is due to absolute or relative insulin deficiency, or insulin resistance. It is characterized by the metabolic disorder of carbohydrate, protein, fat, electrolytes and water caused by absolute or relative insulin deficiency and the reduced sensitivity of target cells to insulin.
  • In recent years, because of the improvement of living level, changes in the diet structure, the increasingly intense pace of life and lifestyle of less exercise and many other factors, the global incidence of diabetes is rapidly increasing, so that diabetes has become the third chronic disease which has a serious threat to human health next to tumor and cardiovascular diseases. Presently, the number of the patients suffering from diabetes has exceeded 120 million in the world, and the number in our country is the second largest in the world. According to statistics, up to 40 million people have been diagnosed as diabetes in China, and the number of the patients is increasing at a rate of 1 million per year. Among them, patients having type I and type II diabetes accounted for 10% and 90% respectively. Diabetes has become the increasingly concerned public health issue.
  • The main drugs currently used for the treatment of type I diabetes are insulin preparations and their substitutes; for the treatment of type II diabetes, the main drugs are oral hypoglycemic agents, generally divided into sulfonylureas, biguanides, traditional Chinese medicine preparations, other hypoglycemic agents, and auxiliary medication. Although these drugs have good effects, they can not maintain long-term efficacy in reducing the high blood glucose, and can not effectively alleviate the condition against the cause of diabetes. Many of the anti-diabetic drugs can well control the blood glucose at the beginning, but their efficacy can not be maintained when the treatment using such drugs are continuously used. It is one of the main reasons why combination therapies or drugs in different classes are used. However, the existing anti-diabetic drugs is lack of long-term efficacy mainly because their mechanism of action is to increase the sensitivity of target tissues to insulin action or improve insulin-producing activity of pancreas, but these drugs have no targeted effect to the reduced function of the pancreatic β cell, which is the fundamental cause of diabetes.
  • Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) is widely present in the body, and is a cell surface protein involved in a variety of biological functions. It can degrade many active enzymes in vivo, such as glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), neuropeptide, substance P, and chemokines and the like. The deficiency of GLP-1 and GIP is the main cause resulting in type II diabetes (i.e., non-insulin-dependent diabetes). DPP-IV inhibitor is a new generation of anti-diabetic drug. It protects the activity of GLP-1, GIP and the like, stimulates the secretion of insulin, lowers blood glucose level by inhibiting the activity of DPP-IV, and does not cause hypoglycemia, weight gain, edema and other side effects. Its effect for lowering blood glucose level stops when a normal blood glucose level has been reached, and hypoglycemia will not occur. It can be used for a long term, and can repair the function of β-cells.
  • Sitagliptin is the first marketed DPP-IV inhibitor. It rapidly became a “blockbuster” drug after marketed in 2006 by Merck. The FDA approved the saxagliptin developed by AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers Squibb on July 31, 2009. SYR-322 developed by Takeda has an activity and selectivity better than that of sitagliptin and saxagliptin, and is currently in the phase of pre-registration. In addition, there are three drugs in clinical phase III: BI-1356 (linagliptin) developed by Boehringer Ingelheim, PF-734200 (gosogliptin) developed by Pfizer Inc, and PHX1149 (dutogliptin) developed by Phenomix Inc. Nine drugs are in the clinical phase II, and seven drugs are in clinical phase I.

  • However, the limited varieties of drugs can not satisfy the clinical requirements. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for development of many DPP-IV inhibitor drugs to satisfy the clinical use.

Start of the first 4 volunteers in Imigliptin Dihydrochloride Phase I clinical trial

2013-10-18 16:31:08  Copyfrom: Sihuan Pharmaceutical Holdings Group Ltd.

Sihuan R&D clinical research centre (based in Beijing) announced that four healthy volunteers (human subjects) were administrated Imigliptin Dihydrochloride at first dosage of 5mg this morning around 8:00 am on 18 Oct 2013, and they all are in good conditions without any observed adverse effects so far.This is the first category 1.1 innovative drug independently developed by Sihuan Group which has now officially entered into clinical trials; that is from laboratory research into human studies. The preclinical studies of Imigliptin Dihydrochloride, a novel DPP-4 inhibitor treating type II diabetes, demonstrate excellent in vitro and in vivo activities and selectivities. In animal studies, it can protect pancreatic β–cells in long-term treatment. Pharmacokinetic studies of Imigliptin Dihydrochloride show attractive profile of good oral bioavailability, fast absorption and onset, and longer half-life compatible with the once daily dosing. We anticipate the above mentioned preclinical profiles be confirmed in our ongoing clinical trials.
