Discovery of Novel DPP-IV Inhibitors as Potential Candidates for the Treatment of Type 2 <i>Diabetes Mellitus</i> Predicted by 3D QSAR Pharmacophore Models, Molecular Docking and <i>De Novo</i> Evolution

Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) rapidly breaks down the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). Thus, the use of DPP-IV inhibitors to retard the degradation of endogenous GLP-1 is a possible mode of therapy correcting the defect in incre...
