Abstract
AbstractMetformin is a regularly prescribed and low-cost generic medication. Metformin has been proposed as a target for Dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP4) expression in various clinical disorders. We provide insilco investigations on molecular docking and dynamic modeling of metformin and DPP4 potential interactions. Moreover, we conducted bioinformatic studies to highlight the clinical significance of DPP4 expression and mutation in various types of malignancies, as well as the invasion of different immune cells into the tumor microenvironment. We believe the present proposal’s findings have crucial implications for understanding how metformin may confer health advantages by targeting DPP4 expression in malignancies.
