Inhibition of DPP IV activity via natural compounds. The (A) enzymatic inhibition of DPP IV activity were determined after treating with P32/98 (Con), curcumin (Cur), resveratrol (Res), sitagliptin (DPP4i), curcumin mixed with berberine (Ber), antroquinonol (A), and 16-hydroxycleroda-3,13-dien-15,16-olide (HCD), respectively. (B) In Caco-2 cells, time-dependent with 10 μM of curcumin (Cur) and 10 nM of sitagliptin (DPP4i) for 12, 24, and 36 h, respectively. And dose-dependent with 10, 20, 30 μM of Cur and 10, 50, and 100 nM of DPP4i for (C) 12 h and (D) 24 h manner in Caco-2 cells, respectively. Data are expressed as means with standard deviations (mean ± SD). **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 vs. DPP IV (A) or control (B–D) with one-way ANOVA.
