Description
EGT-1442 is a potent, selective sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor with IC
50 values of 5.6 μM and 2 nM for human SGLT1 and SGLT2, respectively. It produces a stable urinary excretion of glucose in rats and dogs with ED
50 values of 0.38 and 0.09 mg/kg, respectively, and reduces HbA(1c) and blood glucose in
db/db mice in a concentration dependent manner.
Uses
Bexagliflozin, also known as EGT1442, is a potent and selective SGLT2 inhibitor, attenuates blood glucose and HbA(1c) levels in db/db mice and prolongs the survival of stroke-prone rats. EGT1442 showed favorable properties both in vitro and in vivo and could be beneficial to the management of type 2 diabetic patients.
