Abstract

Gemigliptin, a potent, selective and long-acting DPP 4 inhibitor was developed by LG Life Sciences and approved for use in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by the Korean Food and Drug Administration in June 2012 under the trade name Zemiglo(®). Clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data suggest the efficacy and once daily dosing of gemigliptin. In clinical phase III studies, gemigliptin was efficacious as either monotherapy or combination therapy (add-on to metformin) and well tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes. Further development of combination therapy is on-going.
