Discovery and development of gliflozins: Difference between revisions

Created page with "Gliflozins are a class of drugs in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). They act by inhibiting sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2), and are therefore also called SGLT-2 inhibitors. The efficacy of the drug is dependent on renal excretion and prevents glucose from going into blood circulation by promoting glucosuria. The mechanism of action is insulin independent. Three drugs have been accepted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in t..."

Because Phlorizin is a nonselective inhibitor with poor oral bioavailability, a phlorizin derivative was synthesised and called T-1095. T-1095 is a [[methyl carbonate]] prodrug that is absorbed into the circulation when given orally, and is rapidly converted in the liver to the active metabolite T-1095A.<ref name="Nair og Wilding, 2010" /><ref name="Idris og Donnelly, 2009" /> By inhibiting [[SGLT-1]] and [[SGLT-2]], urinary glucose excretion increased in diabetic animals. T-1095 did not proceed in clinical development, probably because of the inhibition of SGLT-1<ref name="Nair og Wilding, 2010" /> but non-selective SGLT inhibitors may also block [[Glucose transporter|glucose transporter 1]] (GLUT-1). Because 90% of filtered glucose is reabsorbed through SGLT-2, research has focused specifically on SGLT-2. Inhibition of SGLT-1 may also lead to the genetic disease [[glucose-galactose malabsorption]], which is characterized by severe diarrhea.
