Alogliptin, sold under the brand names Nesina and Vipidia among others, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes.[1] It is a second line treatment used together with diet and exercise.[3] Effects on the risk of heart disease are unclear.[1] It is taken by mouth.[2]
Common side effects include runny nose, headache, and upper respiratory tract infection.[1] Other side effects may include pancreatitis, heart failure, anaphylaxis, liver problems, and low blood sugar.[1] Safety in pregnancy is unclear.[1] It is a DPP-4 inhibitor (gliptin), which works by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas.[1][2]
Alogliptin was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2013.[1][4] In the United Kingdom 4 weeks costs the NHS about £27 as of 2021.[2] This amount in the United States is about 90 USD.[5] It is also available as a combination medication with metformin or pioglitazone.[3]
Medical uses
Alogliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor that decreases blood sugar similar to the other.[6]
Like other members of the gliptin class, it causes little or no weight gain, exhibits relatively little risk of hypoglycemia, and has relatively modest glucose-lowering activity. Alogliptin and other gliptins are commonly used in combination with metformin in people whose diabetes cannot adequately be controlled with metformin alone.[7]
Dosage
It is taken at a dose of 25 mg once per day.[2]
Side effects
Side effects may include mild hypoglycemia based on clinical studies.[8][9][10] Alogliptin is not associated with increased weight, increased risk of cardiovascular events.[11][12] It may also cause joint pain that can be severe and disabling.[13] In April 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added a warning about increased risk of heart failure.[14]
History
It was developed by Syrrx, a company which was acquired by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company in 2005.[15]
Market access

In December 2007, Takeda submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for alogliptin to the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA),[16] after positive results from Phase III clinical trials.[17] In September 2008, the company also filed for approval in Japan,[18] winning approval in April 2010.[16] The company also filed a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) elsewhere outside the United States, which was withdrawn in June 2009 needing more data.[18] The first USFDA NDA failed to gain approval and was followed by a pair of NDAs (one for alogliptin and a second for a combination of alogliptin and pioglitazone) in July 2011.[16] In 2012, Takeda received a negative response from the USFDA on both of these NDAs, citing a need for additional data.[16]
In 2013, the FDA approved the drug in three formulations: as a stand-alone with the brand-name Nesina, combined with metformin using the name Kazano, and when combined with pioglitazone as Oseni.
