Description
Tofogliflozin hydrate, which is a sodium-glucose co-transporter
2 inhibitor, was approved in Japan for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
at the same time as luseogliflozin hydrate (XIX). The drug
was discovered by Chugai Pharmaceutical and jointly developed
with Sanofi-Aventis and Kowa. Tofogliflozin hydrate reduces
glucose levels by inhibiting the reuptake of glucose by selectively
inhibiting SGLT2, and plays a key role in the reuptake of glucose
in the proximal tubule of the kidneys.
