(S)-Linagliptin(CAT: C000248) is a significant compound in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry. It is a selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) and is primarily utilized in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. By inhibiting DPP-4, (S)-Linagliptin enhances the levels of incretin hormones, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), leading to improved glycemic control. This pharmaceutical agent plays a pivotal role in managing blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, ultimately reducing the risk of complications associated with the disease.
