Alkaloids 41-50 dipeptidyl peptidase 4 Homo sapiens 289-295 12790770-4 2003 In addition, a subtle but consistent inhibition of the intermediate-MW form of DPP-IV-like enzyme activity, ascribed to DPP-IV/CD26, observed only in human plasma and of the attractin (high-MW form of DPP-IV-like enzyme activity, expressed in U87 glioma cells) by the studied alkaloids was observed. Alkaloids 276-285 dipeptidyl peptidase 4 Homo sapiens 79-85 12790770-4 2003 In addition, a subtle but consistent inhibition of the intermediate-MW form of DPP-IV-like enzyme activity, ascribed to DPP-IV/CD26, observed only in human plasma and of the attractin (high-MW form of DPP-IV-like enzyme activity, expressed in U87 glioma cells) by the studied alkaloids was observed. Alkaloids 276-285 dipeptidyl peptidase 4 Homo sapiens 120-126 12790770-4 2003 In addition, a subtle but consistent inhibition of the intermediate-MW form of DPP-IV-like enzyme activity, ascribed to DPP-IV/CD26, observed only in human plasma and of the attractin (high-MW form of DPP-IV-like enzyme activity, expressed in U87 glioma cells) by the studied alkaloids was observed. Alkaloids 276-285 dipeptidyl peptidase 4 Homo sapiens 120-126 29172693-4 2017 Therefore, the main aim of this work is to experimentally determine whether these alkaloids are DPP-IV inhibitors. Alkaloids 82-91 dipeptidyl peptidase 4 Homo sapiens 96-102 29172693-5 2017 Materials & methods: The DPP-IV inhibition of Ephedra"s alkaloids was determined via a competitive-binding assay. Alkaloids 60-69 dipeptidyl peptidase 4 Homo sapiens 29-35 29172693-8 2017 CONCLUSION: Further computational analysis shows how Ephedra"s alkaloids could be used as promising lead molecules for designing more potent and selective DPP-IV inhibitors.
