Gemigliptin mitigates TGF-β-induced renal fibrosis through FGF21-mediated inhibition of the TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathway

Article

Author: Byun, Jun-Kyu ; Jung, Gwon-Soo

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a well-known regulator of metabolic disorders, exhibits the potential to prevent renal fibrosis by negatively regulating the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)/Smad3 signaling pathway. Gemigliptin and other dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors are frequently used for the management of patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the protective effect of gemigliptin against renal fibrosis, particularly its potential to upregulate the expression of FGF21, remains incompletely understood. This study assessed the renoprotective effects of gemigliptin against TGF-β-induced renal fibrosis by enhancing the expression of FGF21 in the cultured human proximal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2. Treatment with FGF21 effectively prevented TGF-β-induced renal fibrosis by attenuating the TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathway. Similarly, gemigliptin exhibited protective effects against TGF-β-induced renal fibrosis by mitigating TGF-β/Smad3 signaling through the upregulation of FGF21 expression. However, the protective effects of gemigliptin were blocked when FGF21 expression was knocked down in TGF-β-treated HK-2 cells. These results indicate that gemegliptin has the potential to exhibit protective effects against TGF-β-induced renal fibrosis by elevating FGF21 expression levels in cultured human proximal tubular epithelial cells.

Dual add‐on therapy of gemigliptin and dapagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin alone: The SOLUTION 2 study

Article

Author: Kim, Kyoung‐Ah ; Park, Cheol‐Young ; Hwang, You‐Cheol ; Won, Jong Chul ; Kang, Jun Goo ; Yoo, Hye Jin ; Park, Kyong Soo ; Chon, Suk ; Moon, Shin Je ; Cho, Ho Chan ; Kim, Tae Nyun ; Cho, Eunjoo ; Han, Kyung Ah ; Kim, Jeongyun ; Choi, Sung Hee

Abstract:

Aim:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of gemigliptin and dapagliflozin dual add‐on therapy (GEMI + DAPA) to metformin in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients who had inadequate glycaemic control on metformin alone, compared with a single add‐on of either gemigliptin (GEMI) or dapagliflozin (DAPA) to metformin.

Materials and Methods:

In this randomized, double‐blind, double‐dummy, active‐controlled, parallel‐group, phase 3 study, 469 T2D patients treated with a stable dose of metformin for 8 weeks or longer were randomized to receive GEMI + DAPA (n = 157) and either GEMI (n = 156) or DAPA (n = 156). The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c levels from baseline at week 24.

Results:

Baseline characteristics including body mass index and T2D duration were similar among groups. At week 24, the least square mean changes in HbA1c from baseline were −1.34% with GEMI + DAPA, −0.90% with GEMI (difference between GEMI + DAPA vs. GEMI −0.44% [95% confidence interval {CI}: −0.58% to −0.31%], P < .01) and −0.78% with DAPA (difference between GEMI + DAPA vs. DAPA −0.56% [95% CI: −0.69% to −0.42%], P < .01). Both upper CIs were less than 0, demonstrating the superiority of GEMI + DAPA for lowering HbA1c. The rates of responders achieving HbA1c less than 7% and less than 6.5% were greater with GEMI + DAPA (84.9%, 56.6%) than with GEMI (55.3%, 32.2%) and DAPA (49.3%, 15.3%). The incidence rate of adverse events was similar across groups, with low incidence rates of hypoglycaemia, urinary tract infection and genital infection.

Conclusions:

These results suggest that the addition of GEMI + DAPA to metformin as triple combination therapy was effective, safe and well‐tolerated, especially for T2D patients who experienced poor glycaemic control on metformin alone.

Gemigliptin, a potent selective dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor, protects endothelial progenitor cells by oxidative stress via caspase-3 dependent pathway

Article

Author: Lee, Mijung ; Kim, Manho ; Tariq, Amna Rashid

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are exclusive players in vasculogenesis and endothelial regeneration. EPCs are of two types and their differentiation is mediated by different growth factors. A decrease in EPC number and function causes cardiovascular abnormalities and reduced angiogenesis. Various studies has documented a role of EPCs in diabetes. EPCs treatment with different drugs improve insulin secretion but causes other abnormalities. In vivo and in vitro studies have reported anti glycation effect of gemigliptin but no data is available on in vitro effect of gemigliptin on EPC number and functional credibility. The current study was aimed to find an in vitro effect of gemigliptin on EPC number and function along with an effective treatment dose of gemigliptin. EPCs were isolated, cultured and phenotypically characterized using Dil- AcLDL and ulex-lectin fluorescence staining. EPCs were then treated with different doses of Zemiglo and their viability analyzed with viability assay using water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST-1), by Annexin V and Propidium Iodide (PI) staining, senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, western blot and Flow cytometric analysis of apoptotic signals. The results demonstrated that the isolated EPCs has typical endothelial phenotypes. And these EPCs were of two types based on morphology i.e., early and late EPCs. Gemigliptin dose dependently improved the EPCs morphology and increased EPCs viability, the most effective dose being the 20 μM. Gemigliptin at 10 μM, 20 μM and 50 μM significantly increased the BCL-2 levels and at 20 μM significantly decreased the Caspase-3 levels in EPCs. In conclusion, gemigliptin dose dependently effects the EPCs viability and morphology through Caspase-3 signaling. Our results are the first report of gemigliptin effect on EPC viability and morphology.

Innovent plucks Chinese rights to LG Chem's gout disease treatment in nearly $100M deal

LG Chem's deal with Innovent comes months after the Korea-based company bought Aveo Oncology. Innovent is adding a new late-stage med to its pipeline, buying the Chinese rights to LG Chem’s phase 3 gout disease treatment for nearly $100 million. The agreement, announced Thursday, gives Innovent exclusive Chinese rights to tigulixostat, a non-purine xanthine oxidase inhibitor that manages the buildup of uric acid in patients with gout. In return, the company is paying LG Chem $10 million upfront with $85.5 million in biobucks waiting in the wings. Tigulixostat lands in Innovent’s lap with the wind in its sails after beating out both placebo and Takeda’s Uloric in uric acid reductions during a phase 2 study. LG Chem launched a phase 3 trial this quarter with the expectation of recruiting 3,000 patients across the U.S., Europe and other countries. The approval potential of the med is particularly tantalizing to Innovent given that the prevalence of hyperuricemia in China could be as high as 13.3% of the population. Another study conducted by China’s CDC found that the prevalence among adults is 11.1%. The med slides into a portfolio that includes eight approved meds in China, primarily in oncology, but a relatively thin slate of metabolic treatments. As for LG Chem, the rights handoff continues a string of deals after agreeing to buy Aveo Oncology and its approved kidney cancer drug in October for $566 million. The company noted that one of the benefits to partnering with Innovent was getting a foot in the door to the Chinese market. LG Chem’s only approved med is Zemiglo, a Type 2 diabetes treatment greenlighted for use in Korea and Thailand. Beyond tigulixostat, the company is working on treatments for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, obesity and Type 1 diabetes.

Daewoong Pharmaceutical announces success in developing a new antidiabetic medication and its aims to enter the market in over 50 countries by 2030

Delivers new drug for two consecutive years by obtaining product license on "Envlo", Korea's 36th new drug from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Plans to enter the type 2 diabetes global market worth $71.4 billion Provides new and broad treatment options for patients with insufficient blood glucose control with three indications SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (CEO Jeon Sengho, Lee Changjae), a global healthcare company, announced on 5th that its "Envlo 0.3mg", a new sodium-glucose cotransporters 2 inhibitor (SGLT2) developed to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus obtained a product license from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on November 30. Envlo is indicated for monotherapy, combination therapy with Metformin and combination therapy with Metformin and Gemigliptin. SGLT2 inhibitors, which are rapidly replacing the global type 2 diabetes market worth $71.4 billion, are known to account for about $20.7 billion globally and $100 million in Korea as of 2021. Until now, the development and approval of SGLT2 inhibitors have been carried out mainly by multinational pharmaceutical companies. Daewoong Pharmaceutical, South Korea's leading healthcare company, became the first domestically to succeed in developing a new antidiabetic drug in this class by obtaining a product license. Daewoong Pharmaceutical plans to actively pursue the global market through this product. Daewoong Pharmaceutical plans to move quickly with the procedures concerning Envlo's insurance coverage and price in order to register the drug in National Health Insurance System with an indication of monotherapy, combination therapy with Metformin or Metformin & Gemigliptin in the first half of 2023. At the same time, the company has developed a roadmap to enter the global market over 10 countries including China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia by 2025 and 50 countries by 2030. The company is also running clinical trials for indication expansion while developing combination drugs. Daewoong Pharmaceutical aims to deliver the metformin combination drug in the second half of 2023, by accelerating the trial. The company estimates to achieve a cumulative three-year sale of 100 billion Korean Won. Earlier in October, Daewoong Pharmaceutical announced the Phase 3 study results of Envlo in patients with type 2 diabetes which have shown excellent hypoglycemic effect and the safety. In particular, Envlo has demonstrated its equivalent efficacy with 0.3 mg, which is less than one-thirtieth dosage of existing SGLT2 inhibitors. Its indication is also expected to provide a new treatment option for patients with insufficient blood sugar control. An official from Daewoong Pharmaceutical said, "While SGLT2 inhibitors are drawing the most attention in the global market, it is meaningful that we are the first company in Korea to develop the new diabetes medication in this class." The company official also added, "We will make our best effort to improve the quality of life of patients by providing the best-in-class antidiabetic drug. We will also contribute to the development of global pharmaceutical industry by continuously strengthening new drug development and global business through open collaboration with various partners." Meanwhile, Envlo, approved as the 36th new drug in Korea following the 34th new drug "Fexuclue" last year, listed its name as a first domestic drug to be designated for an accelerated approval by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in 2020.
