Type 2 & other diabetes

Biotransformation and disposition characteristics of HSK7653 , a novel long‐acting dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Mass balance study

Authors' conclusion

HSK7653 was well absorbed, slightly metabolized and slowly excreted in humans. The high plasma exposure and long t1/2 of HSK7653 may contribute to its long-lasting efficacy as a long-acting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor.
