A series of novel pyrimidinedione derivatives were designed and evaluated for in vitro dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitory activity and in vivo anti-hyperglycemic efficacy. Among them, the representative compounds 11, 15 and 16 showed excellent inhibitory activity of DPP-4 with IC50 values of 64.47 nM, 188.7 nM and 65.36 nM, respectively. Further studies revealed that compound 11 was potent in
