Tech Sheet on Linagliptin

Linagliptin is an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), an enzyme that degrades the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Thus, linagliptin increases the concentrations of active incretin hormones, stimulating the release of insulin in a glucose-dependent manner and decreasing the levels of glucagon in circulation. Both incretin hormones are involved in the physiological regulation of glucose homeostasis.

We are among the earliest generic API manufacturers globally to file the USDMF for Linagliptin API. The DMF for Korea is also filled. We offer country-specific regulatory filings for global market expansion, so we are diversifying our filing to all the major regulated markets.
