Mechanism of Action: The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is secreted from alimentary canal in response to meal that promotes insulin secretion from pancreas and regulates blood sugar post meal by controlling glucagon secretion. Teneligliptin exhibits a hypoglycemic effect by controlling the decomposition of GLP-1 by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) activity and thereby increasing blood concentration of active GLP-1. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.
