Comparison of Efficacies of a Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Inhibitor and α-Glucosidase Inhibitors in Oral Carbohydrate and Meal Tolerance Tests and the Effects of Their Combination in Mice

E3024 (3-but-2-ynyl-5-methyl-2-piperazin-1-yl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4-one tosylate) is a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor. Since the target of both DPP-IV inhibitors and α-glucosidase inhibitors is the lowering of postprandial hyperglycemia, we compared antihyperglycemic e...
