Abstract
Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) (EC 3.4.14.5) is а member of the broad class of hydrolytic enzymes which is responsible for degradation of the incretin peptide hormones regulating blood glucose levels. In this article we review the literature on natural and synthetic DPP-IV inhibitors, focusing their chemical structure and mechanism of action. Further, physico-chemical, pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of DPP-IV inhibitors are calculated and compared. On the basis of literature data we selected the DPP-IV inhibitors with IC50 values below 1 nM and discussed their possible application in therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Keywords: Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors, Pharmacokinetic properties, Physico-chemical properties, SAR, Toxicological properties, Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
