Saxagliptin (rINN), previously identified as BMS-477118, is a new oral hypoglycemic (anti-diabetic drug) of the new dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class of drugs.[1] It was developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb. The trade name under which saxagliptin will be marketed has not yet been released.
Additional recommended knowledge
It is currently in Phase III clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.[2]
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4's role in blood glucose regulation is thought to be through degradation of GIP[3] and the degradation of GLP-1.[3][4]
Bristol-Myers Squibb announced on 27 December 2006 that Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. has been granted exclusive rights to develop and commercialize the compound in Japan. Under the licensing agreement, Otsuka will be responsible for all development costs, but Bristol-Myers Squibb retains rights to co-promote saxagliptin with Otsuka in Japan.[5] Further, on 11 January 2007 it was announced that Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca would work together to complete development of the drug an in subsequent marketing.[6]
