Abstract
Our previous study has demonstrated that both the amino acid at N3 position and peptide length affected the DPP-IV inhibitory activity of Gly-Pro-type peptides. To further elucidate their molecular mechanism, a combined approach of QSAR modeling, enzymatic kinetics and molecular docking was used. Results showed that the QSAR models of Gly-Pro-type tripeptides and Gly-Pro-type peptides containing 3-12 residues were successfully constructed by 5z-scale descriptor with R2 of 0.830 and 0.797, respectively. The lower values of electrophilicity, polarity, and side-chain bulk of amino acid at N3 position caused higher DPP-IV inhibitory activity of Gly-Pro-type peptides. Moreover, an appropriate increase in the length of Gly-Pro-type peptides did not change their competitive inhibition mode, but decreased their inhibition constants (Ki values) and increased interactions with DPP-IV. More importantly, the interactions between the residues at C-terminal of Gly-Pro-type peptides containing 5 ∼ 6 residues with S2 extensive subsites (Ser209, Phe357, Arg358) of DPP-IV increased the interactions of Gly residue at N1 position with the S2 subsites (Glu205, Glu206, Asn710, Arg125, Tyr662) and decreased the acylation level of DPP-IV-peptide complex, and thereby increasing peptides' DPP-IV inhibitory activity.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the largest public health problems worldwide and in the last decades various therapeutic targets have been investigated. For the treatment of type-2 DM (T2DM), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is one of the well reported target and has established safety in terms of cardiovascular complexicity. Preclinical and clinical studies using DPP-4 inhibitors have demonstrated its safety and effectiveness and have lesser risk of associated hypoglycaemic effect making it suitable for elderly patients. FDA has approved a number of structurally diverse DPP-4 inhibitors for clinical use. The present manuscript aims to focus on the well reported hybrid and non-hybrid analogues and their structural activity relationship (SAR) studies. It aims to provide structural insights for this class of compounds pertaining to favourable applicability of selective DPP-4 inhibitors in the treatment of T2DM.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors are a potent therapeutic treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is a family of compounds used as DPP4 inhibitors (DPP4Is) called gliptins. They bind tightly to DPP4 to form an inactive protein-ligand complex. However, there remains a need to identify novel DPP4Is that are more efficacious and safer due to the increasing prevalence of T2DM and the undesirable side effects of gliptins. To identify potential DPP4Is, we screened over 1800 novel compounds in a comparative study with gliptins. We performed dual-factor molecular docking to assess the binding affinity of the compounds to DPP4 and found four compounds with a higher binding affinity to DPP4 than currently used gliptins. The newly identified compounds interacted with the dyad glutamate (GLU205 and GLU206) and tyrosine (TYR662 and TYR666) residues in DPP4's active site. We performed molecular dynamics simulations to determine the stability of the protein-ligand complexes formed by the compounds and DPP4. Furthermore, we examined the toxicity and pharmacological profile of the compounds. The compounds are drug-like, easy to synthesize, and relatively less toxic than gliptins. Collectively, our results suggest that the novel compounds are potential DPP4Is and should be considered for further studies to develop novel antidiabetics.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Brewer's spent yeast (BSY) hydrolysates are a source of antidiabetic peptides. Nevertheless, the impact of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of BSY derived peptides on diabetes has not been assessed. In this study, two BSY hydrolysates were obtained (H1 and H2) using β-glucanase and alkaline protease, with either 1 h or 2 h hydrolysis time for H1 and H2, respectively. These hydrolysates were then subjected to simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGID), obtaining dialysates D1 and D2, respectively. BSY hydrolysates inhibited the activity of α-glucosidase and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) enzymes. Moreover, although D2 was inactive against these enzymes, D1 IC50 value was lower than those found for the hydrolysates. Interestingly, after electrophoretic separation, D1 mannose-linked peptides showed the highest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, while non-glycosylated peptides had the highest DPP-IV inhibitory activity. Kinetic analyses showed a non-competitive mechanism in both cases. After peptide identification, GILFVGSGVSGGEEGAR and IINEPTAAAIAYGLDK showed the highest in silico anti-diabetic activities among mannose-linked and non-glycosylated peptides, respectively (AntiDMPpred score: 0.70 and 0.77). Molecular docking also indicated that these peptides act as non-competitive inhibitors. Finally, an ex vivo model of mouse jejunum organoids was used to study the effect of D1 on the expression of intestinal epithelial genes related to diabetes. The reduction of the expression of genes that codify lactase, sucrase-isomaltase and glucose transporter 2 was observed, as well as an increase in the expression of Gip (glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide) and Glp1 (glucagon-like peptide 1). This is the first report to evaluate the anti-diabetic effect of BSY peptides in mouse jejunum organoids.

Abstract
To better understand the hypoglycemic potential of wheat gluten (WG), we screened dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibitory active peptides from WG hydrolysates. WG hydrolysates prepared by ginger protease were found to have the highest DPP-4 inhibitory activity among the five enzymatic hydrolysates, from which a 1-3 kDa fraction was isolated by ultrafiltration. Further characterization of the fraction with nano-HPLC-MS/MS revealed 1133 peptides. Among them, peptides with P'2 (the second position of the N-terminal) and P2 (the second position of the C-terminal) as proline residues (Pro) accounted for 12.44% and 43.69%, respectively. The peptides including Pro-Pro-Phe-Ser (PPFS), Ala-Pro-Phe-Gly-Leu (APFGL), and Pro-Pro-Phe-Trp (PPFW) exhibited the most potent DPP-4 inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 56.63, 79.45, and 199.82 μM, respectively. The high inhibitory activity of PPFS, APFGL, and PPFW could be mainly attributed to their interaction with the S2 pocket (Glu205 and Glu206) and the catalytic triad (Ser630 and His740) of DPP-4, which adopted competitive, mixed, and mixed inhibitory modes, respectively. After comparative analysis of PPFS, PPFW, and PPF, Ser was found to be more conducive to enhancing the DPP-4 inhibitory activity. Interestingly, peptides with P2 as Pro also exhibited good DPP-4 inhibitory activity. Meanwhile, DPP-4 inhibitory peptides from WG showed excellent stability, suggesting a potential application in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) therapy or in the food industry as functional components.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders are increasingly prevalent conditions that manifest pathophysiologically along a continuum. Among reported metabolic risk factors, elevated fasting serum glucose (FSG) levels have shown the most substantial increase in risk exposure. Ultimately leading to insulin resistance (IR), this condition is associated with notable deteriorations in the prognostic outlook for major diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancer risk, and mortality related to cardiovascular disease. Tackling metabolic dysfunction, with a focus on prevention, is a critically important aspect for human health. In this study, an investigation into the potential antidiabetic properties of a salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH) was conducted, focusing on its potential dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibition and direct glucose uptake in vitro. Characterization of the SPH utilized a bioassay-guided fractionation approach to identify potent glucoregulatory peptide fractions. Low-molecular-weight (MW) fractions prepared by membrane filtration (MWCO = 3 kDa) showed significant DPP-IV inhibition (IC50 = 1.01 ± 0.12 mg/mL) and glucose uptake in vitro (p ≤ 0.0001 at 1 mg/mL). Further fractionation of the lowest MW fractions (<3 kDa) derived from the permeate resulted in three peptide subfractions. The subfraction with the lowest molecular weight demonstrated the most significant glucose uptake activity (p ≤ 0.0001), maintaining its potency even at a dilution of 1:500 (p ≤ 0.01).

Abstract
The industrial processing of Argentine shortfin squid to obtain rings generates a significant amount of protein-rich waste, including the skin, which is rich in collagen and attached myofibrillar proteins. This waste is generally discarded. In this study, skin was used as a source of proteins that were hydrolysed using Trypsin, Esperase® or Alcalase®, which released peptides with antioxidant potential and, in particular, antihypertensive (ACE inhibition), hypoglycemic (DPP-IV inhibition) and/or nootropic (PEP inhibition) potential. Among the three enzymes tested, Esperase® and Alcalase produced hydrolysates with potent ACE-, DPP-IV- and PEP-inhibiting properties. These hydrolysates underwent chromatography fractionation, and the composition of the most bioactive fractions was analysed using HPLC-MS-MS. The fractions with the highest bioactivity exhibited very low IC50 values (16 and 66 µg/mL for ACE inhibition, 97 µg/mL for DPP-IV inhibition and 55 µg/mL for PEP inhibition) and were mainly derived from the hydrolysate obtained using Esperase®. The presence of Leu at the C-terminal appeared to be crucial for the ACE inhibitory activity of these fractions. The DPP-IV inhibitory activity of peptides seemed to be determined by the presence of Pro or Ala in the second position from the N-terminus, and Gly and/or Pro in the last C-terminal positions. Similarly, the presence of Pro in the peptides present in the best PEP inhibitory fraction seemed to be important in the inhibitory effect. These results demonstrate that the skin of the Argentine shortfin squid is a valuable source of bioactive peptides, suitable for incorporation into human nutrition as nutraceuticals and food supplements.

Abstract
The process of generating functional peptides from cowhide gelatin is challenged by inefficient enzymatic hydrolysis. In this study, the researchers attempted to enhance the hydrolysis and potential functional properties of the peptides by subjecting the cowhide gelatin to high-pressure treatment (200, 300, and 400 MPa) for 20 min, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. The highest 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, 2,2' azinobis(3 ethylbenzothiazoline 6 sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity, and DPP-IV inhibitory activity of the hydrolysate were obtained at 200 MPa, accompanied with an increase in the content of hydrophobic, acidic, and basic amino acids (P < 0.05). Correspondingly, the high-pressure pretreatment (200 MPa) reduced the thermal stability, particle size, and morphological integrity of cowhide gelatin, with a corresponding increase in the exposure of hydrophobic regions. Altogether, these results indicated that appropriate high-pressure-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis reinforced the release of bi-functional peptides by modifying the structure of cowhide gelatin.

Abstract
Currently, diabetes has become a great threaten for people's health in the world. Recent study shows that dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides may be a potential pharmaceutical agent to treat diabetes. Thus, there is a need to discriminate DPP-IV inhibitory peptides from non-DPP-IV inhibitory peptides. To address this issue, a novel computational model called iDPPIV-SI was developed in this study. In the first, 50 different types of physicochemical (PC) properties were employed to denote the peptide sequences. Three different feature descriptors including the 1-order, 2-order correlation methods and discrete wavelet transform were applied to collect useful information from the PC matrix. Furthermore, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was employed to select these most discriminative features. All of these chosen features were fed into support vector machine (SVM) for identifying DPP-IV inhibitory peptides. The iDPPIV-SI achieved 91.26% and 98.12% classification accuracies on the training and independent dataset, respectively. There is a significantly improvement in the classification performance by the proposed method, as compared with the state-of-the-art predictors. The datasets and MATLAB codes (based on MATLAB2015b) used in current study are available at https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/iDPPIV-SI/20085878.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) has become an important target in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Although many DPP-IV inhibitory peptides have been identified by a general approach involving the repeated fractionation of food protein hydrolysates, the obtained results have been dependent on the content of each peptide and fractionation conditions. In the present study, a peptide array that provides comprehensive assays of peptide sequences was used to identify novel DPP-IV inhibitory peptides derived from bovine milk proteins; these peptides were then compared with those identified using the general approach. While the general approach identified only known peptides that were abundant in the hydrolysate, the peptide array-based approach identified 10 novel DPP-IV inhibitory peptides, all of which had proline at the second residue from the N-terminus. The proper or combined use of these two approaches, which have different advantages, will enable the efficient development of novel bioactive foods and drugs.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides were screened and identified from yak hemoglobin for the first time by in silico analysis, molecular docking, and in vitro evaluation. Results showed that yak hemoglobin had a high potential to produce DPP-IV inhibitory peptides based on the sequence alignment and bioactive potential evaluation. Furthermore, "pancreatic elastase + stem bromelain" was the optimal combined-enzymatic strategy by simulated proteolysis. Additionally, 25 novel peptides were found from its simulated hydrolysate, among which 10 peptides had high binding affinities with DPP-IV by molecular docking. Most of these peptides were also in silico characterized with favorable physicochemical properties and biological potentials, including relatively low molecular weight, high hydrophobicity, several net charges, good water solubility, nontoxicity, acceptable sensory quality, and good human intestinal absorption. Finally, six novel DPP-IV inhibitory peptides were identified via in vitro assessment, among which EEKA (IC50 = 235.26 μM), DEV (IC50 = 339.45 μM), and HCDKL (IC50 = 632.93 μM) showed the strongest capacities. The hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attractions formed with core residues within the S2 pocket of DPP-IV could be mainly responsible for their inhibition performances. This work provided a time-saving method and broadened application for yak by-products development as sources of functional foods.

Abstract
To produce peptides with high dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory activity, neutrase was selected from five proteases (trypsin, neutrase, pepsin, alcalase and flavor protease) with the highest degree of hydrolysis (DH) (18.23 ± 1.08%) and DPP-IV inhibitory rate (53.35 ± 4.02%) to produce protein hydrolysate (NPH) from the dark muscles of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis). Then, NPH-1 was isolated from NPH by gel permeation chromatography and found to possess the highest DPP-IV inhibitory rate (65.12 ± 7.94% at 0.5 mg ml-1) in the separated components (including NPH-1, NPH-2, NPH-3 and NPH-4). Subsequently, the available prediction models of tripeptides and tetrapeptides with the DPP-IV inhibitory rate were established using an artificial neural network (ANN). The RMSE (0.56 and 0.33 for the model established through collected tripeptides and tetrapeptides, respectively) and R2 (0.95 and 0.99 for the model established through collected tripeptides and tetrapeptides, respectively) of the ANN model's parameters were within acceptable limits, indicating that this model is available. Next, the ANN model was applied to predict tripeptides and tetrapeptides from the hydrolysate of skipjack tuna dark muscles, and five peptides (Ala-Pro-Pro (APP), Pro-Pro-Pro (PPP), Asp-Pro-Leu-Leu (DPLL), Glu-Ala-Val-Pro (EAVP) and Glu-Ala-Iie-Pro (EAIP)) possessing a noticeable DPP-IV inhibitory rate (with DPP-IV IC50 values of 42.46 ± 5.02, 37.71 ± 9.17, 58.85 ± 14.42, 49.94 ± 6.69 and 57.15 ± 6.13 μM, respectively) were screened from the protein hydrolysate. The above five peptides were proved to effectively promote glucose consumption in the insulin resistant-HepG2 (IR-HepG2) cell model considering that the glucose consumption rates of APP, PPP, DPLL, EAVP and EAIP treatment groups are all more than twice that of the dexamethasone group. Accordingly, mechanistic studies showed that these peptides interacted with PI3K/AKT and AMPK signaling pathways and promoted the phosphorylation of PI3K p110, AKT and AMPK (the protein expressions of PI3K p110, p-AKT and p-AMPK in APP, PPP, DPLL, EAVP and EAIP treatment groups are 1.64-2.22 fold compared with that in the dexamethasone group), thereby enhancing glucose uptake and further alleviating insulin resistance. These findings demonstrated that skipjack tuna dark muscle is a potential DPP-IV inhibitory peptide source, and five DPP-IV inhibitory peptides from its hydrolysate may exert potent anti-diabetic activity. In comparison, PPP may be the most potential active ingredient for healthy food against type 2 diabetes mellitus in the five screened peptides considering synthetically the DPP-IV inhibitory rate, bioavailability and synthesis cost.

Abstract
A series of novel pyridazine-acetohydrazide hybrids were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo antihyperglycemic activity. In this context, pyridazine-acetohydrazides (6a-6p) were synthesized by coupling substituted aldehyde with 2-(5-cyano-6-oxo-3,4-diphenylpyridazine-1-6H-yl) acetohydrazide, which was prepared via the reaction of pyridazine ester with hydrazine hydrate. The molecular docking study was carried out to examine the binding affinities and interaction of designed compounds against the DPP-4 enzyme. Compounds 6e, 6f, 6l, and 6n exhibited interaction with active residue. In silico ADMET properties, and toxicity studies corroborated that compounds were found to have good bioavailability and less toxic. The synthesized compounds were further estimated for in vitro DPP-4 activity. Compounds 6e and 6l were found as the most effective DPP-4 inhibitor in this series with IC50 values (6.48, 8.22 nM) when compared with sitagliptin (13.02 nM). According to the toxicity assay compound, 6l showed very less toxicity at a higher concentration so further selected for the in vivo antihyperglycemic activity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inactivates a range of bioactive peptides. The cleavage of insulinotropic peptides and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) by DPP4 directly influences glucose homeostasis. This study aimed to describe the mode of interaction between sitagliptin (an antidiabetic drug) and human DPP4 using in silico approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS Docking studies were conducted using AutoDock Vina, 2D and 3D schematic drawings were obtained using PoseView and PLIP servers, and the DPP4-sitagliptin complex was visualized with Pymol software. RESULTS The best affinity energy to form the DPP4-sitagliptin complex was E-value = - 8.1 kcal mol-1, as indicated by docking simulations. This result suggests a strong interaction. According to our observations, hydrophobic interactions involving the amino acids residues Tyr663 and Val712, hydrogen bonds (Glu203, Glu204, Tyr663, and Tyr667), π-Stacking interactions (Phe355 and Tyr667), and halogenic bonds (Arg123, Glu204, and Arg356) were prevalent in the DPP4-sitagliptin complex. Root Mean Square Deviation prediction also demonstrated that the global structure of the human DPP4 did not have a significant change in its topology, even after the formation of the DPP4-sitagliptin complex. CONCLUSION The stable interaction between the sitagliptin ligand and the DPP4 enzyme was demonstrated through molecular docking simulations. The findings presented in this work enhance the understanding of the physicochemical properties of the sitagliptin interaction site, supporting the design of more efficient gliptin-like iDPP4 inhibitors.

Abstract
Madhurakshak Activ (MA), a commercial polyherbal antidiabetic preparation is known to manage diabetes mellitus (DM) by reducing blood glucose levels. However, lacks systematic mechanistic evaluation for their molecular and cellular mode of actions. In the present study, hydro-alcoholic and aqueous extract of MA were evaluated for their effects on glucose adsorption, diffusion, amylolysis kinetics and transport across the yeast cells using in vitro techniques. Bioactive compounds identified from MA by LC-MS/MS were assessed for their binding potential against DPP-IV and PPARγ via an in silico approach. Our results revealed that the adsorption of glucose increased dose dependently (5 mM -100 mM). Both extracts exhibited linear glucose uptake into the yeast cells (5 mM - 25 mM), whereas glucose diffusion was directly proportional to time (30-180 min). Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed drug-like properties and low toxicity levels for all the selected compounds. Among the tested compounds, 6-hydroxyluteolin (-8.9 against DPP-IV and PPARγ) and glycyrrhetaldehyde (DPP-IV -9.7 and PPARγ -8.5) have exhibited higher binding affinity compared to the positive control. Therefore, the above compounds were further considered for molecular dynamics simulation which showed stability of the docked complexes. Hence, studied mode of actions might produce a concerted role of MA in increasing the rate of glucose absorption and uptake followed by the in silico studies which suggest that the compounds identified from MA may inhibit DPP-IV and PPARγ phosphorylation.

Abstract
This article sheds light on the various scaffolds that can be used in the designing and development of novel synthetic compounds to create DPP-4 inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This review highlights a variety of scaffolds with high DPP-4 inhibition activity, such as pyrazolopyrimidine, tetrahydro pyridopyrimidine, uracil-based benzoic acid and esters, triazole-based, fluorophenyl-based, glycinamide, glycolamide, β-carbonyl 1,2,4-triazole, and quinazoline motifs. The article further explains that the potential of the compounds can be increased by substituting atoms such as fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. Docking of existing drugs like sitagliptin, saxagliptin, and vildagliptin was done using Maestro 12.5, and the interaction with specific residues was studied to gain a better understanding of the active sites of DPP-4. The structural activities of the various scaffolds against DPP-4 were further illustrated by their inhibitory concentration (IC50) values. Additionally, various synthesis schemes were developed to make several commercially available DPP4 inhibitors such as vildagliptin, sitagliptin and omarigliptin. In conclusion, the use of halogenated scaffolds for the development of DPP-4 inhibitors is likely to be an area of increasing interest in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a serious threat to human health. Owing to the action of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV), the half-life of entero-insulin hormone after secretion is extremely short, causing insufficient insulin secretion in diabetic patients. Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors can be used as a new treatment for T2DM. In this study, the proteins of eel (Anguilla rostrata) scraps hydrolyzed using Protamex protease (EPHs) were found to have strong DPP-IV inhibitory activity. The study also provided research ideas for the development and utilization of A. rostrata scraps. RESULTS The median inhibition concentration (IC50 ) value of EPHs was 5.455 ± 0.24 mg mL-1 . The peptide fractions with the highest DPP-IV inhibitory activity were sequentially separated by ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography (GFC), and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) in a continuous hierarchical manner and analyzed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight/ time-of-flight mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS/MS). Three peptides that revealed significant inhibitory activity were screened among the identified sequences, with sequences of Phe-Pro-Arg (IC50 = 62.14 ± 1.47 μM), Tyr-Pro-Pro-Ser-Phe-Ser (IC50 = 102.65 ± 4.57 μM), and Tyr-Pro-Tyr-Pro-Ala-Ser (IC50 = 68.30 ± 3.85 μM). Molecular docking simulations revealed that their inhibitory effect was mainly due to the formation of hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues in the active sites of DPP-IV. Analysis of the inhibition patterns of the synthetic peptides displayed that Phe-Pro-Arg and Tyr-Pro-Pro-Ser-Phe-Ser displayed competitive inhibition, whereas Tyr-Pro-Tyr-Pro-Ala-Ser showed mixed competitive/non-competitive inhibition. CONCLUSIONS The protein hydrolysates isolated from eel scraps are potential functional food ingredients for the treatment of T2DM. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sacha inchi meal (SIM) is a by-product of oil processing. Our previous studies showed that SIM hydrolysates exhibited dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibition activity. The objective of the present work was to identify and characterize the bioactive peptides from protein hydrolysates of SIM; enzyme kinetics and peptide-enzyme interaction were also investigated. RESULTS From SIM hydrolysates, ten peptides responsible for the activity were identified: GPSRGF (GF-6), FPILSPDPA (FA-9), APYRRGGKI (AI-9), WPYH (WH-4), DPATWLALPT (DT-10), NPEDEFRQQ (NQ-9), APESKPVGV (AV-9), LEWRDR (LR-6), APVYWVQ (AQ-7) and LLMWPY (LY-6). The IC50 values of five peptides (GF-6, WH-4, AQ-7, AV-9 and LY-6) with better inhibitory activity on DPP-IV were within the range of 23.43-128.40 μmol L-1 . AQ-7 had the best activity, with an IC50 value of 23.43 μmol L-1 . Enzyme kinetics indicated the presence of various inhibition types (mixed, non-competitive and competitive). Isothermal titration microcalorimetry showed that the main forces of the binding sites between peptide (GF-6 or AQ-7) and DPP-IV were hydrogen bond, hydrophobic interaction and van der Waals force. The key residues involved in peptide-enzyme interaction were determined by molecular docking. Furthermore, at a concentration of 800 μmol L-1 , GF-6 was found to significantly increase the glucose consumption in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells (P < 0.05) compared with the model group. CONCLUSION Sacha inchi meal-derived peptides displayed potent DPP-IV inhibition activity and could be used in the health food industry and as lead compounds for diabetes therapy. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a complex disorder characterized by insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance, which results in a lifelong dependence on glucose-lowering drugs for almost all patients. During the fight with diabetes, researchers are always thinking about what characteristics the ideal hypoglycemic drugs should have. From the point of view of the drugs, they should maintain effective control of blood sugar, have a very low risk of hypoglycemia, not increase or decrease body weight, improve β-cell function, and delay disease progression. Recently, the advent of oral peptide drugs, such as semaglutide, brings exciting hope to patients with chronic diabetes. Legumes, as an excellent source of protein, peptides, and phytochemicals, have played significant roles in human health throughout human history. Some legume-derived peptides with encouraging anti-diabetic potential have been gradually reported over the last two decades. Their hypoglycemic mechanisms have also been clarified at some classic diabetes treatment targets, such as the insulin receptor signaling pathway or other related pathways involved in the progress of diabetes, and key enzymes including α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-4). This review summarizes the anti-diabetic activities and mechanisms of peptides from legumes and discusses the prospects of these peptide-based drugs in type 2 diabetes (T2D) management.

Abstract
The dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory activity of Khaya senegalensis extracts was evaluated. The DPP-IV from a rat kidney was purified to a purification fold of 2.3. Among extracts from K. senegalensis, the hexane extract had the best DPP-IV inhibitory activity, with IC50 value of 1.56±0.61 μg/mL and was fractionated to eleven fractions (A-K). Fraction I had the best DPP-IV inhibition via uncompetitive pattern. GC-MS analysis of fraction I showed that the major bioactive compounds were 3-amino-3-hydroxyimino-N-phenylpropanamide (1) and 11-(2-cyclopenten-1-yl)undecanoic acid (2), with good binding affinities toward DPP-IV, based on molecular docking,. They were then subjected to molecular dynamic simulation using WEBGRO and utilizing a GROMACS system for 100 ns. The 3-amino-3-hydroxyimino-N-phenylpropanamide-DPP-IV complex was more stable and compact than the other complex. K. senegalensis contains compounds like 1 that might be used for the design of new DPP-IV inhibitors.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose due to insulin resistance or insulin-secretion defects. The development of diabetes is mainly attributed to the interaction of several complex pathogenic, genetic, environmental and metabolic processes. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is a serine protease that cleaves X-proline dipeptides from the N-terminus of several polypeptides, including natural hypoglycemic incretin hormones. Inhibition of this enzyme restores and maintains glucose homeostasis, making it an attractive drug target for the management of T2DM. Natural products are important sources of bioactive agents for anti-T2DM drug discovery. Marine ecosystems are a rich source of bioactive products and have inspired the development of drugs for various human disorders, including diabetes. Here, structure-based virtual screening and molecular docking were performed to identify antidiabetic compounds from the Comprehensive Marine Natural Products Database (CMNPD). The binding characteristics of two shortlisted compounds, CMNPD13046 and CMNPD17868, were assessed using molecular dynamics simulations. Thus, this study provides insights into the potential antidiabetic activity and the underlying molecular mechanism of two compounds of marine origin. These compounds could be investigated further for the development of potent DPP-4 inhibitors.

Abstract
Natural and synthetic coumarins are often considered privileged scaffolds for obtaining pharmacological agents with hypoglycemic activity. Chemical modification of coumarins often leads to antidiabetic agents with greater efficacy. In the present work, twenty monoterpene-substituted 7-hydroxycoumarins were synthesized. A new approach using the Mitsunobu reaction was shown to be effective for the synthesis of target compounds. All of the synthesized compounds were evaluated in an oral glucose tolerance test, and two of them containing geranyl and (-)-myrtenyl substituents showed in vivo hypoglycemic action. A possible mechanism of action of these compounds may include inhibition of DPP IV, which was proved in an in vitro test.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize the digests and peptides derived from oat kernel proteins in terms of their major enzyme inhibitory activities related to the prevention of cardiometabolic syndrome. It also entailed the characteristics of antioxidant bioactivity of the analyzed material. The study was carried out using coupled in silico and in vitro methods. The additional goal was to investigate whether identified peptides can pervade Caco-2 cells. Based on the results of bioinformatic analysis, it was found that the selected oat proteins may be a potential source of 107 peptides with DPP-IV and/or ACE inhibitory and/or antioxidant activity. The duodenal digest of oat kernels revealed multiple activities. It inhibited the activities of the following enzymes: DPP-IV (IC50 = 0.51 vs. 10.82 mg/mL of the intact protein), α-glucosidase (IC50 = 1.55 vs. 25.20 mg/mL), and ACE (IC50 = 0.82 vs. 34.52 mg/mL). The DPPH• scavenging activity was 35.7% vs. 7.93% that of the intact protein. After in silico digestion of oat proteins, 24 peptides were selected for identification using LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. Among them, 13 sequences were successfully identified. One of them, i.e., VW peptide, exhibited triple activities, i.e., DPP-IV and ACE inhibitory and DPPH• scavenging activity. The multifunctional peptides: PW, TF, VF, and VW, were identified in the basolateral samples after transport experiments. Both in silico and in vitro analyses demonstrated that oat kernel proteins were the abundant sources of bioactive digests and peptides to be used in a diet for patients suffering from cardiometabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides are attracting increasing attention, owing to their potential role in glycemic regulation by preventing the inactivation of incretins. However, few reviews have summarized the current understanding of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides and their knowledge gaps. This paper reviews the production, identification and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides. Importantly, their bioavailability and hypoglycemic effects are critically discussed. Unlike the traditional method to identifying peptides after separation step by step, the bioinformatics approach identifies peptides via virtual screening that is more convenient and efficient. In addition, the bioinformatics approach was also used to investigate the SAR of peptides. Peptides with proline (Pro) or alanine (Ala) residue at the second position of N-terminal are exhibit strong DPP-IV inhibitory activity. Besides, the bioavailability of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides is related to their gastrointestinal stability and cellular permeability, and in vivo studies showed that the glucose homeostasis has been improved by these peptides. Especially, the intestinal transport of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides and cell biological assays used to evaluate their potential role in glycemic regulation are innovatively summarized. For further successful development of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides in glycemic regulation, future study should elucidate their SAR and in vivo hypoglycemic effects .

Abstract
Pea protein hydrolysates (PPHs) possess good hypoglycemic effects; however, their dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitory activity is poorly understood, and none of the DPP-4 inhibitory peptides have been identified from PPHs. This paper aims to rapidly screen these peptides from PPHs by combining peptidomics and molecular docking. In this study, 543 peptides were identified by peptidomics, and four peptides (IPYWTY, IPYWT, LPNYN, and LAFPGSS) with DPP-4 half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values <100 μM were screened for the first time. Significantly, peptide IPYWTY exhibited the most potent DPP-4 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 11.04 μM) mainly because it formed hydrophobic interactions with the S1 pocket in DPP-4. These results indicated that combining peptidomics and molecular docking is an effective strategy for rapidly screening DPP-4 inhibitory peptides.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP-IV) plays an essential role in glucose metabolism by inactivating incretins. In this context, food-protein-derived DPP-IV inhibitors are promising glycemic regulators which may act by preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes in personalized nutrition. In this study, the DPP-IV-inhibitory potential of seven proteins from diverse origins was compared for the first time in vitro and in vivo in rat plasma after the intestinal barrier (IB) passage of the indigested proteins. The DPP-IV-inhibitory potentials of bovine hemoglobin, caseins, chicken ovalbumin, fish gelatin, and pea proteins were determined in rat plasma thirty minutes after oral administration. In parallel, these proteins, together with bovine whey and gluten proteins, were digested using the harmonized INFOGEST protocol adapted for proteins. The DPP-IV half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was determined in situ using Caco-2 cells. The DPP-IV-inhibitory activity was also measured after IB passage using a Caco2/HT29-MTX mixed-cell model. The peptide profiles were analyzed using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC-MS/MS) with MS data bioinformatics management, and the IC50 of the identified peptides was predicted in silico. The in vitro and in vivo DPP-IV-inhibitory activity of the proteins differed according to their origin. Vegetable proteins and hemoglobin yielded the highest DPP-IV-inhibitory activity in vivo. However, no correlation was found between the in vivo and in vitro results. This may be partially explained by the differences between the peptidome analysis and the in silico predictions, as well as the study complexity.

Abstract
Nowadays, notwithstanding their nutritional and technological properties, food bioactive peptides from plant sources garner increasing attention for their ability to impart more than one beneficial effect on human health. Legumes, which stand out thanks to their high protein content, represent valuable sources of bioactive peptides. In this context, this study focused on the characterization of the potential pleotropic activity of two commercially available soybean (SH) and pea (PH) protein hydrolysates, respectively. Since the biological activity of a specific protein hydrolysate is strictly correlated with its chemical composition, the first aim of the study was to identify the compositions of the SH and PH peptides. Peptidomic analysis revealed that most of the identified peptides within both mixtures belong to storage proteins. Interestingly, according to the BIOPEP-UWM database, all the peptides contain more than one active motive with known inhibitory angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and dipeptidyl-dipeptidases (DPP)-IV sequences. Indeed, the results indicated that both SH and PH inhibit DPP-IV and ACE activity with a dose-response trend and IC50 values equal to 1.15 ± 0.004 and 1.33 ± 0.004 mg/mL, and 0.33 ± 0.01 and 0.61 ± 0.05 mg/mL, respectively. In addition, both hydrolysates reduced the activity of DPP-IV and ACE enzymes which are expressed on the surface of human intestinal Caco-2 cells. These findings clearly support that notion that SH and PH may represent new ingredients with anti-diabetic and hypotensive effects for the development of innovative multifunctional foods and/or nutraceuticals for the prevention of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
There are numerous cultivars of tea (Camellia sinensis L.), but the differences in their anti-hyperglycemic-related effects are largely unknown. The inhibition of the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-IV enzyme plays an essential role in controlling hyperglycemia in diabetes by blocking the degradation of incretin hormones, which is necessary for insulin secretion. In this study, we examined the DPP-IV inhibitory activity of leaf extracts from diverse Japanese green tea cultivars. The inhibitory rates differed among tea extracts. Metabolic profiling (MP), using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, of all cultivars revealed compositional differences among cultivars according to their DPP-IV inhibitory capacity. Epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl)gallate, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, myricetin-3-O-glucoside/galactoside, and theogallin were newly identified as DPP-IV inhibitors. The bioactivity of a tea extract was potentiated by adding these ingredients in combination. Our results show that MP is a useful approach for evaluating the DPP-IV inhibitory potency of green tea and for determining bioactivity-related ingredients and combinations.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major metabolic disease that requires long-term pharmacotherapy. Bioactive peptides have unique advantages such as higher potency, selectivity, and safety over small molecules and have achieved great success in the treatment of diabetes. We previously isolated a dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptide VPLVM with IC50 = 99.68 μM from the protein hydrolysates of broccoli stems and leaves. Here, we evaluated the interaction with DPP-IV, transport, stability, and in vivo hypoglycemic effects of VPLVM. VPLVM interacted closely and steadily with DPP-IV at S1 and S2 pockets. VPLVM had a good gastrointestinal enzyme resistance and was transported through the Caco-2 cell monolayer via paracellular diffusion and by the PepT1 with a Papp of 6.96 × 10-7 cm/s. VPLVM has a t1/2 of 12.56 ± 0.41 min in vitro plasma stability. In the oral glucose tolerance test, VPLVM showed an excellent hypoglycemic effect at 30 min after administration. VPLVM has potential as a candidate for the treatment of hyperglycemia.

Abstract
This study aimed at exploring dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides from silkworm pupae proteins by in silico analysis and in vitro assessments. In silico analysis of 274 silkworm pupae proteomes indicated that DPP-IV inhibitory peptides can be released from silkworm pupae proteins. In vitro assessments revealed that pepsin and bromelain led to better production of DPP-IV inhibitory peptides from silkworm pupae protein. Notably, peptide fractions (<1 kDa) from pepsin- and bromelain-treated hydrolysates exhibited more potent DPP-IV inhibitory activities. Two novel DPP-IV inhibitory peptides (Leu-Pro-Pro-Glu-His-Asp-Trp-Arg and Leu-Pro-Ala-Val-Thr-Ile-Arg) were identified by LC-MS/MS with IC50 values of 261.17 and 192.47 μM, respectively. Enzyme kinetics data demonstrated that these two peptides displayed a mixed-type DPP-IV inhibition mode, which was further validated by molecular docking data. Overall, in silico analysis combined with in vitro assessments can serve as an effective and rapid approach for discovery of DPP-IV peptides from silkworm pupae proteins.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most popular chronic diseases around the whole world. To improve the compliance of patients, long-acting antidiabetic drugs needed to be developed. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are becoming increasingly important in the T2DM treatment due to the favorable properties. In the present study, a series of new substituted dihydropyrido [4',3':3,4] pyrazolo [1,5-a] pyrimidin-9(10H)-yl)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-amine were designed and synthesized as potent DPP-4 inhibitors. All compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS and were evaluated in vitro. The inhibitory activity ranged from 0.43 to 12.70 μM while the inhibitory activity of positive control (omarigliptin) was 3.63 μM on DPP-4 in Caco-2 cells. Then pharmacokinetic studies were carried out in rats and compound 6c was finally selected for the further study because of its better pharmacokinetic profile. Additionally, preclinical pharmacological study of compound 6c exhibited extraordinary efficacy in vivo and good safety profile. In conclusion, compound 6c was considered as a promising DPP-4 inhibitor, which could be taken once a week or once every two weeks for the treatment of T2DM. More comprehensive researches will be carried out in the future for the further development of compound 6c.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension and diabetes are two kinds of senile diseases which often occur simultaneously. The commonly used drugs in clinic may produce certain side effects. Food-derived polypeptide is a kind of polypeptide with great development potential, which has many functions of regulating human physiological function. Beer is rich in nutrition but there are few researches on bioactive peptides in beer. RESULTS In this study, a rapid virtual screening method was established to obtain bioactive peptides from Tsingtao draft beer. The peptide sequence was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-Orbitrap-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS2 ), and 50 peptides were identified. Eight peptides with potential biological activities were screened by using Peptide Ranker software and previous literature references. On the basis of absorption prediction, toxicity prediction, and molecular docking analysis, LNFDPNR and LPQQQAQFK were finally confirmed. The molecular docking results showed that two peptides could bind angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) tightly by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. The in vitro activity evaluation results showed that two peptides had obvious ACE and DPP-IV inhibitory activity. CONCLUSION This study established a method for rapidly screening bioactive peptides from Tsingtao draft beer, screened two ACE and DPP-IV inhibitory peptides in beer and analyzed their active action mechanism. This article may have great theoretical significance and practical value to further explore the health function of beer. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of diabetes mellitus worldwide has increased in recent decades. Maintaining the level of blood glucose is the most basic and important issue for diabetics. This study aimed to investigate the hypoglycemic activity of a combination of hypoglycemic peptide-enriched hydrolysates of Corbicula fluminea (ACH) and Chlorella sorokiniana (PCH). RESULTS Combined supplementation of ACH and PCH synergistically inhibited α-glucosidase and DPP4 activities in vitro. After 4 weeks of treatment with ACH and/or PCH, the plasma glucose concentration and insulin, homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels significantly decreased. The hypoglycemic peptides in ACH and PCH were purified and assayed for α-glucosidase and DPP4 activity. The hypoglycemic peptides in ACH and PCH effectively decreased α-glucosidase and DPP4 activities. In silico assays showed that these two peptide types have different docking poses, which determined their inhibitory effect against α-glucosidase and DPP4 activity. CONCLUSION Combined treatment with hypoglycemic peptide-enriched ACH and PCH could modulate blood glucose by synergistically inhibiting α-glucosidase and DPP4 activities. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are becoming an essential drug in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, some classes of these drugs exert side effects, including joint pain and pancreatitis. Studies suggest that these side effects might be related to secondary inhibition of DPP-8 and DPP-9. In this study, we identified DPP-4-inhibitor hit compounds selective against DPP-8 and DPP-9. We built a virtual screening workflow using a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) strategy based on artificial intelligence to allow faster screening of millions of molecules for the DPP-4 target relative to other screening methods. Five regression machine learning algorithms and four classification machine learning algorithms were applied to build virtual screening workflows, with the QSAR model applied using support vector regression (R2pred 0.78) and the classification QSAR model using the random forest algorithm with 92.2% accuracy. Virtual screening results of > 10 million molecules obtained 2 716 hits compounds with a pIC50 value of > 7.5. Additionally, molecular docking results of several potential hit compounds for DPP-4, DPP-8, and DPP-9 identified CH0002 as showing high inhibitory potential against DPP-4 and low inhibitory potential for DPP-8 and DPP-9 enzymes. These results demonstrated the effectiveness of this technique for identifying DPP-4-inhibitor hit compounds selective for DPP-4 and against DPP-8 and DPP-9 and suggest its potential efficacy for applications to discover hit compounds of other targets.

Abstract
CONTEXT Melicope latifolia (DC.) T. G. Hartley (Rutaceae) was reported to contain various phytochemicals including coumarins, flavonoids, and acetophenones. OBJECTIVE This study investigates the antidiabetic and antioxidant effects of M. latifolia bark extracts, fractions, and isolated constituents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Melicope latifolia extracts (hexane, chloroform, and methanol), fractions, and isolated constituents with varying concentrations (0.078-10 mg/mL) were subjected to in vitro α-amylase and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitory assay. Molecular docking was performed to study the binding mechanism of active compounds towards α-amylase and DPP-4 enzymes. The antioxidant activity of M. latifolia fractions and compounds were determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and β-carotene bleaching assays. RESULTS Melicope latifolia chloroform extract showed the highest antidiabetic activity (α-amylase IC50: 1464.32 μg/mL; DPP-4 IC50: 221.58 μg/mL). Fractionation of chloroform extract yielded four major fractions (CF1-CF4) whereby CF3 showed the highest antidiabetic activity (α-amylase IC50: 397.68 μg/mL; DPP-4 IC50: 37.16 μg/mL) and resulted in β-sitosterol (1), halfordin (2), methyl p-coumarate (3), and protocatechuic acid (4). Isolation of compounds 2-4 from the species and their DPP-4 inhibitory were reported for the first time. Compound 2 showed the highest α-amylase (IC50: 197.53 μM) and β-carotene (88.48%) inhibition, and formed the highest number of molecular interactions with critical amino acid residues of α-amylase. The highest DPP-4 inhibition was exhibited by compound 3 (IC50: 911.44 μM). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The in vitro and in silico analyses indicated the potential of M. latifolia as an alternative source of α-amylase and DPP-4 inhibitors. Further pharmacological studies on the compounds are recommended.

Abstract
Peptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is a pharmacotherapeutic target in type 2 diabetes, and inhibitors of this enzyme are an important class of drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In the present study, peptides (<7 kDa) isolated from dry-cured pork loins after pepsin and pancreatin hydrolysis were identified by mass spectrometry and tested as potential inhibitors of DPP-IV by the in silico method. Two peptides, namely WTIAVPGPPHS from myomesin (water-soluble fraction, A = 0.9091) and FKRPPL from troponin (salt-soluble fraction, A = 0.8333), were selected as the most promising inhibitors of DPP-IV. Both peptides were subjected to ADMET analysis. Fragments of these peptides showed promising drug-likeness properties as well as favorable absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity functions, suggesting that they are novel leads in the development of DPP-IV inhibitors from food.

Abstract
During forced degradation, the intrinsic stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) could be determined and possible impurities that would occur during the shelf life of the drug substance or the drug product could be estimated. Vildagliptin belongs to relatively new oral antidiabetic drugs named gliptins, inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) and prolonging the activities of the endogenous incretin hormones. At the same time, some gliptins were shown as prone to degradation under specific pH and temperature conditions, as well as in the presence of some reactive excipients. Thus, forced degradation of vildagliptin was performed at high temperature in extreme pH and oxidative conditions. Then, selective LC-UV was used for quantitative determination of non-degraded vildagliptin in the presence of its degradation products and for degradation kinetics. Finally, identification of degradation products of vildagliptin was performed using an UHPLC-DAD-MS with positive ESI. Stability of vildagliptin was also examined in the presence of pharmaceutical excipients, using mid-IR and NIR with principal component analysis (PCA). At 70 °C almost complete disintegration of vildagliptin occurred in acidic, basic, and oxidative media. What is more, high degradation of vildagliptin following the pseudo first-order kinetics was observed at room temperature with calculated k values 4.76 × 10−4 s−1, 3.11 × 10−4 s−1, and 1.73 × 10−4 s−1 for oxidative, basic and acidic conditions, respectively. Next, new degradation products of vildagliptin were detected using UHPLC-DAD-MS and their molecular structures were proposed. Three degradants were formed under basic and acidic conditions, and were identified as [(3-hydroxytricyclo- [3.3.1.13,7]decan-1-yl)amino]acetic acid, 1-{[(3-hydroxytricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decan-1-yl)amino]acetyl}-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid and its O-methyl ester. The fourth degradant was formed in basic, acidic, and oxidative conditions, and was identified as 1-{[(3-hydroxytricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]-decan-1-yl)amino]acetyl}pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide. When stability of vildagliptin was examined in the presence of four excipients under high temperature and humidity, a visible impact of lactose, mannitol, magnesium stearate, and polyvinylpirrolidone was observed, affecting-NH- and CO groups of the drug. The obtained results (kinetic parameters, interactions with excipients) may serve pharmaceutical industry to prevent chemical changes in final pharmaceutical products containing vildagliptin. Other results (e.g., identification of new degradation products) may serve as a starting point for qualifying new degradants of vildagliptin as it is related to substances in pharmacopoeias.

Abstract
Vegetable proteins are appearing as a sustainable source for human consumption. Food-derived peptides are an important field of research in terms of bioactive molecules. In this study, seven vegetable proteins were enzymatically hydrolysed following an optimised treatment (sequential hydrolysis with subtilisin-trypsin-flavourzyme) to obtain dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides. Hydrolysates were fractionated by size exclusion chromatography and, from the most bioactive fractions (corresponding to Glycine max, Chenopodium quinoa and Lupinus albus proteins); peptides responsible for this bioactivity were identified by mass spectrometry. Peptides with adequate molecular features and based on in silico analysis were proposed as DPP-IV inhibitors from soy (EPAAV) lupine (NPLL), and quinoa (APFTVV). These vegetable protein sources are adequate to obtain protein hydrolysates for functional food.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors are a class of orally available, small molecule inhibitors that prolong the insulinotropic activity of the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and are highly effective for the treatment of Type-2 diabetes. DPP4 can also cleave several immunoregulatory peptides including chemokines. Emerging evidence continues to implicate DPP4 inhibitors as immunomodulators, with recent findings suggesting DPP4 inhibitors modify specific aspects of innate immunity. This review summarises recent insights into how DPP4 inhibitors could be implicated in endothelial, neutrophil and monocyte/macrophage mediated immunity. Additionally, this review highlights additional avenues of research with DPP4 inhibitors in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most common chronic disorder and leading cause of renal, neurological, and gastrointestinal manifestations in developed and developing countries. Despite of many drugs and combinational therapies, the complications of diabetes are still listed due to severe consequences of those drugs. In past few years, plant-derived drugs draw special attention due to their higher efficacy and fewer side-effects. Momordica charantia also known as bitter melon is referred as an antidiabetic and hypoglycemic plant in native populations of Asia and East Africa. In current study, an in silico approach was used to evaluate the interactions and binding patterns of plant-derived peptides devised from a hypoglycemic protein adMc1 of M. charantia as potential inhibitor of DPP-IV, SGLT1, and GLUT2 receptor proteins. The study has described a novel approach to investigate hypoglycemic peptides to cure diabetes. A total of eighty tetra-, penta-, and hexapeptides were devised from conserved regions of adMc1 homologs. The molecular docking approach using MOE software was employed to reveal inhibiting potentials of devised peptides against three selected proteins. Out of 30 shortlisted ligands six peptides (i.e. SMCG, DECC, TTIT, RTTI, ARNL and TVEV) accomplished the criteria of being good drug candidates against selected receptor proteins following the drugability assessment test. The overall results are acceptable on the basis of ADMET profiling for being good drug candidates against selected proteins.

Abstract
In a recent publication, Eleftheriou et al. proposed that inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP‐4) are functional inhibitors of the main protease (Mpro) of SARS‐CoV‐2. Their predictions prompted the authors to suggest linagliptin, a DPP‐4 inhibitor and approved anti‐diabetes drug, as a repurposed drug candidate against the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic. We used an enzymatic assay measuring the inhibition of Mpro catalytic activity in the presence of four different commercially available gliptins (linagliptin, sitagliptin, alogliptin and saxagliptin) and several structural analogues of linagliptin to study the binding of DPP‐4 inhibitors to Mpro and their functional activity. We show here that DPP‐4 inhibitors like linagliptin, other gliptins and structural analogues are inactive against Mpro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a serious global health issue, currently affecting 425 million people and is set to affect over 690 million people by 2045. It is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to relative or absolute insulin hormone deficiency. Dipeptidyl peptidase- IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors are hypoglycemic agents augmenting the action of the incretin hormones that stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells. OBJECTIVE In this study, synthesis and biological evaluation of seven piperazine derivatives 3a-g was carried out. METHODS The synthesized molecules were characterized using proton-nuclear magnetic resonance, carbon-nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. RESULTS In vitro biological evaluation study showed comparable DPP-IV inhibitory activity for the targeted compounds ranging from 19%-30% at 100 μM concentration. Furthermore, the in vivo hypoglycemic activity of 3d was evaluated using streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. It was found that compound 3d significantly decreased the blood glucose level when the diabetic group treated with 3d was compared to the control diabetic group. Quantum-Polarized Ligand Docking (QPLD) studies demonstrate that 3a-g fit the binding site of DPP-IV enzyme and form H-bonding with the backbones of R125, E205, E206, K554, W629, Y631, Y662, R669, and Y752. CONCLUSION Piperazine derivatives were successfully found to be new scaffolds as potential DPP-IV inhibitors.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major health problem that is associated with high risk of various complications. Medicinal plants hold great promise against diabetes. The traditional use of Cleome droserifolia as an antidiabetic agent was correlated to its flavonol glycosides content. In the current study, five major flavonol glycosides appeared on the RP-HPLC chromatogram of the aqueous extract namely; quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucosyl-7-O-α-rhamnoside (1), isorhamnetin-7-O-β-neohesperidoside (2), isorhamnetin-3-O-β-d-glucoside (3) kaempferol-4'-methoxy-3,7-O-α-dirhamnoside (4), and isorhamnetin-3-O-α-(4″-acetylrhamnoside)-7-O-α-rhamnoside (5). The inhibitory activities of these compounds were tested in vitro against several enzymes involved in diabetes management. Only the relatively less polar methoxylated flavonol glycosides (4, 5) showed mild to moderate α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Compounds 1-4 displayed remarkable inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) enzyme (IC50 0.194 ± 0.06, 0.573 ± 0.03, 0.345 ± 0.02 and 0.281 ± 0.05 µg/mL, respectively) comparable to vildagliptin (IC50 0.154 ± 0.02 µg/mL). Moreover, these compounds showed high potential in preventing diabetes complications through inhibiting aldose reductase enzyme and combating oxidative stress. Both isorhamnetin glycoside derivatives (2, 3) exhibited the highest activities in aldose reductase inhibition and compound 2 (IC50 5.45 ± 0.26 µg/mL) was even more potent than standard quercetin (IC50 7.77 ± 0.43 µg/mL). Additionally, these flavonols exerted excellent antioxidant capacities through 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant (FRAP) assays.

Abstract
LTFPGSAED (P7) is a multifunctional hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycemic lupin peptide. While assessing its angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity, it was more effective in intestinal Caco-2 cells (IC50 of 13.7 μM) than in renal HK-2 cells (IC50 of 79.6 μM). This discrepancy was explained by the metabolic transformation mediated by intestinal peptidases, which produced two main detected peptides, TFPGSAED and LTFPG. Indeed LTFPG, dynamically generated by intestinal dipeptidyl peptidase IV as well as its parent peptide P7 were linearly absorbed by mature Caco-2 cells. An in silico study demonstrated that the metabolite was a better ligand of the ACE enzyme than P7. These results are in agreement with an in vivo study, previously performed by Aluko et al., which has shown that LTFPG is an effective hypotensive peptide. Our work highlights the dynamic nature of bioactive food peptides that may be modulated by the metabolic activity of intestinal cells.

Abstract
The inhibitory effects of 30 dietary flavonoids on dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) were investigated to illustrate their quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and further explore their inhibition at the cellular level. Results of in vitro experiment show that isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside (IC50, 6.53 ± 0.280 μM) had the strongest inhibition followed by cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (IC50, 8.26 ± 0.143 μM) and isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside (IC50, 8.57 ± 0.422 μM). A 3D QSAR model [comparative molecular field analysis, q2 = 0.502, optimum number of components (ONC) = 3, R2 = 0.983, F = 404.378, standard error of estimation (SEE) = 0.070, and two descriptors; comparative similarity index analysis, q2 = 0.580, ONC = 10, R2 = 0.999, F = 1617.594, SEE = 0.022, and four descriptors] indicates that the DPP-IV inhibition of flavonoid was facilitated by crucial structural factors. Position 3 of ring C favored bulky, hydrogen bond acceptors and hydrophilic and electron-donating substituents. The presence of minor and electron-withdrawing groups at position 4' of ring B and positions 5 and 7 of ring A could improve DPP-IV inhibition. Moreover, the three flavonoids mentioned above could effectively suppress DPP-IV activity and expression in Caco-2 cells. This work may supply new insights into dietary flavonoids as DPP-IV inhibitors for controlling blood glucose.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibition has been recognized as a promising approach to develop safe and potent antidiabetic agents for the management of type 2 diabetes. In this context, new thiosemicarbazones (2a-o) were prepared efficiently by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with 4-[4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl]thiosemicarbazide (1), which was obtained via the reaction of 4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl isothiocyanate with hydrazine hydrate. Compounds 2a-o were evaluated for their DPP-4 inhibitory effects based on a convenient fluorescence-based assay. 4-[4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)phenyl]-1-(4-bromobenzylidene)thiosemicarbazide (2f) was identified as the most effective DPP-4 inhibitor in this series with an IC50 value of 1.266 ± 0.264 nM when compared with sitagliptin (IC50 = 4.380 ± 0.319 nM). MTT test was carried out to assess the cytotoxic effects of compounds 2a-o on NIH/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast (normal) cell line. According to cytotoxicity assay, compound 2f showed cytotoxicity towards NIH/3T3 cell line with an IC50 value higher than 500 µM pointing out its favourable safety profile. Molecular docking studies indicated that compound 2f presented π-π interactions with Arg358 and Tyr666 via pyrazole scaffold and 4-bromophenyl substituent, respectively. Overall, in vitro and in silico studies put emphasis on that compound 2f attracts a great notice as a drug-like DPP-4 inhibitor for further antidiabetic research.

Abstract
Cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum burmannii) and sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan) have been reported to be beneficial for Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and the combination is commonly used by Indonesian herbal industries. In the present study, the simultaneous extraction of bioactive compounds from both plants was conducted using natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES), their content analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and their dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) inhibitory activity evaluated. An additional in silico molecular docking analysis was conducted to ensure their activity. The results showed that NADES (with a composition of choline chloride–glycerol) extraction from cinnamon and sappan wood had DPP IV inhibitory activity of 205.0 and 1254.0 µg/mL, respectively. Brazilin as a marker substance from sappan wood was responsible for the DPP IV inhibitory activity, while none of the marker substances chosen for cinnamon bark (trans-cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, and trans-cinnamic acid) were found to have significant DPP IV inhibitory activity. These results were confirmed by molecular docking conducted in brazilin, trans-cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, and trans-cinnamic acid.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease, COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which first emerged in Wuhan, China and was made known to the World in December 2019 turned into a pandemic causing more than 126,124 deaths worldwide up to April 16th, 2020. It has 79.5% sequence identity with SARS-CoV-1 and the same strategy for host cell invasion through the ACE-2 surface protein. Since the development of novel drugs is a long-lasting process, researchers look for effective substances among drugs already approved or developed for other purposes. The 3D structure of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease was compared with the 3D structures of seven proteases, which are drug targets, and docking analysis to the SARS-CoV-2 protease structure of thirty four approved and on-trial protease inhibitors was performed. Increased 3D structural similarity between the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, the HCV protease and α-thrombin was found. According to docking analysis the most promising results were found for HCV protease, DPP-4, α-thrombin and coagulation Factor Xa known inhibitors, with several of them exhibiting estimated free binding energy lower than −8.00 kcal/mol and better prediction results than reference compounds. Since some of the compounds are well-tolerated drugs, the promising in silico results may warrant further evaluation for viral anticipation. DPP-4 inhibitors with anti-viral action may be more useful for infected patients with diabetes, while anti-coagulant treatment is proposed in severe SARS-CoV-2 induced pneumonia.

Abstract
Arthrospira platensis (spirulina) is a cyanobacterium, which contains mainly two phycobiliproteins (PBP), i.e., C-phycocyanin (C-PC) and allophycocyanin (APC). In this study, PBP were hydrolyzed using trypsin, and the composition of the hydrolysate was characterized by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Furthermore, the potential anti-diabetic activity was assessed by using either biochemical or cellular techniques. Findings suggest that PBP peptides inhibit DPP-IV activity in vitro with a dose-response trend and an IC50 value falling in the range between 0.5 and 1.0 mg/mL. A lower inhibition of the DPP-IV activity expressed by Caco-2 cells was observed, which was explained by a secondary metabolic degradation exerted by the same cells.

Generation and characterization of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitory peptides from trypsin-hydrolyzed α-lactalbumin-rich whey proteins. Food Chem 2020; 318:126333.

Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) is an enzyme that break down the antidiabetic hormone glucagon-like peptide-1. Therefore, inhibition of DPP-IV could be an effective strategy to treat Type 2 diabetes (T2D). The α-lactalbumin-rich whey protein concentrate was hydrolyzed by trypsin, and the hydrolysates were then fractionated at a semi-preparative scale using a Superdex Gel filtration Chromatography. The peptides were analyzed by using HPLC coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC-MS/MS), and their Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitory activity was determined by the enzymatic assay. Among tested fragments, a potent fragment (LDQWLCEKL), with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 131 μM was obtained. Further analysis shows that the LDQWLCEKL peptide corresponds to the amino acid sequence of f(115-123) in α-lactalbumin. Furthermore, LDQWLCEKL exhibited a typical non-competitive mode of inhibition. The results indicate that α-lactalbumin contains active peptides with DPP-IV inhibitory activity that may be used to prevent and treat T2D.
