Z-Gly-Pro-AMC is a substrate molecule that mimics the natural substrate of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and is used in the study of plant physiology. It has been shown to inhibit DPP-IV activity by binding to the enzyme’s active site, preventing it from cleaving biologically active peptides. This drug also has an antidiabetic effect, which may be due to its ability to inhibit α-amylase activity. Z-Gly-Pro-AMC also has been shown to increase locomotor activity and reduce body weight in rats with metabolic disorders. Z-Gly-Pro-AMC inhibits serine proteases, such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase, and cathepsin G, which are involved in tumor progression.
