![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖![]() View more information in the IUPHAR Pharmacology Education Project: linagliptin |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Used in the management of type 2 diabetes. Linagliptin was assessed in a combination therapy with the SGLT-2 inhibitor, empagliflozin with ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT01734785. In February 2015, this translated to US FDA approval for the fixed dose formulation Glyxambi® (empagliflozin and linagliptin) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In July 2016, the FDA approved a once-daily, extended release DPP-4 inhibitor/biguanide combination (Jentadueto XR®: linagliptin and metformin hydrochloride) as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. |
