Abstract:
Background: DPP-4 inhibitors, or gliptins, are new oral antidiabetic drugs for type 2 diabetes.
They help to regulate insulin and glucagon. These drugs have the advantage of a lower risk of hypoglycemia
compared to some other diabetes medications and are typically prescribed when metformin
and sulphonylureas have become less effective.
Objective: This review analyses a range of analytical and bioanalytical methods for DPP-4 inhibitors,
that use spectroscopic techniques, chromatographic, and hyphenated techniques for analysis. So far, no
review comprising all DPP-4 inhibitors has been presented. The primary objective of this review is to
present the analysts with various analytical and bioanalytical methods for the quantification and estimation
of DPP-4 inhibitors in different matrices.
Methods: To improve understanding, a review was carried out by creating a database of pre-existing
research from digital sources such as ScienceDirect, and PubMed. The methodology is shown in the
flowchart of the literature selection process.
Conclusion: The comprehensive assessment of methods for analysing DPP-4 inhibitors can be a valuable
resource for researchers and healthcare practitioners. Hitherto, no review encompassing all DPP-4
inhibitors has been presented. Therefore, gaps in the data available on a particular subject, need to be
required to collect data on a particular construct. The review suggests that chromatographic techniques
were majorly used for analysis wherein solvents like acetonitrile, methanol, and buffer solutions were
used as mobile phases that can deteriorate HPLC columns and equipment. So, scientists could investigate
new methods for the assessment of DPP-4 inhibitors using more eco-friendly solvents.
