SGLT2 inhibition type 1 diabetes mellitus

Brain swelling is a major cause of death and disability in ischemic stroke. Drugs of the gliflozin class, which target the Na+ -coupled D-glucose cotransporter, SGLT2, are approved for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may be beneficial in other conditions, but data in cerebral ischemia are limited. We studied murine models of cerebral ischemia with middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAo/R). Slc5a2 /SGLT2 mRNA and protein were upregulated de novo in astrocytes. Live cell imaging of brain slices from mice following MCAo/R showed that astrocytes responded to modest increases in D-glucose by increasing intracellular Na+ and cell volume (cytotoxic edema), both of which were inhibited by the SGLT2 inhibitor, canagliflozin...

AIM: To investigate whether combined treatment with empagliflozin (a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor) and semaglutide (a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist) can reduce urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) compared to treatment with empagliflozin alone in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and albuminuria. METHODS: We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel study including 60 individuals with T2D and albuminuria. All participants initiated open-label empagliflozin 25 mg once daily, on top of renin-angiotensin system inhibition, in a run-in period of 26 weeks...

OBJECTIVE: To develop a risk assessment tool to identify patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at higher risk for kidney disease progression and who might benefit more from sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 41,204 patients with T2D from four Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) clinical trials were divided into derivation (70%) and validation cohorts (30%). Candidate predictors of kidney disease progression (composite of sustained ≥40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], end-stage kidney disease, or kidney death) were selected with multivariable Cox regression...

In the EMPA-KIDNEY (The Study of Heart and Kidney Protection With Empagliflozin) trial, empagliflozin reduced cardiorenal outcomes by 28% (hazard ratio 0.72; 95% confidence interval 0.64-0.82; P  < .0001) in a diverse population of over 6000 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, of whom >50% were not diabetic. It expanded the spectrum of CKD that may benefit from sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition to participants with urinary albumin: creatinine ratio <30 mg/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >20 mL/min/1...

AIMS: Vascular calcification (VC) is prevalent in pathological processes such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and atherosclerosis, but effective therapies are still lacking by far. Canagliflozin (CANA), a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, has been approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and exhibits beneficial effects against cardiovascular disease. However, the effect of CANA on VC remains unknown. In this study, we hypothesize that CANA protects against VC...

BACKGROUND: The insulin-like growth factors (IGF) play a crucial role in regulating cellular proliferation, apoptosis, and key metabolic pathways. The ratio of IGF-1 to IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is an important factor in determining IGF-1 bioactivity. We sought to investigate the association of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 with cardio-renal outcomes among persons with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Samples were available from 2627 individuals with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease that were randomized to receive canagliflozin or placebo and were followed up for incident cardio-renal events...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the long-term effects of tofogliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, on atherosclerosis progression and major clinical parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes lacking an apparent history of cardiovascular disease. METHODS: This was a prospective observational 2-year extension study of the "Using TOfogliflozin for Possible better Intervention against Atherosclerosis for type 2 diabetes patients (UTOPIA)" trial, a 2-year randomized intervention study...

Sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT 2, gliflozins) inhibitors are potent orally active drugs approved for managing type 2 diabetes. SGLT 2 inhibitors exert a glucose-lowering effect by suppressing sodium-glucose co-transporters 1 and 2 in the intestinal and kidney proximal tubules. In this study, we developed a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model and simulated the concentrations of ertugliflozin, empagliflozin, henagliflozin, and sotagliflozin in target tissues. We used the perfusion-limited model to illustrate the disposition of SGLT 2 inhibitors in vivo ...

Diabetes is one of the lifelong chronic metabolic diseases which is prevalent globally. There is a continuous rise in the number of people suffering from this disease with time. It is characterized by hyperglycemia, which leads to severe damage to the body's system, such as blood vessels and nerves. Diabetes occurs due to the dysfunction of pancreatic β-cell which leads to the reduction in the production of insulin or body cells unable to use insulin produce efficiently. As per the data shared International diabetes federation (IDF), there are around 415 million affected by this disease worldwide...

Donafenib (DONA), a deuterium derivative of sorafenib, is used for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Dapagliflozin (DAPA) and canagliflozin (CANA) are sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors used for T2DM, which is frequently comorbid with HCC. Three drugs are substrates of UGT1A9 isoenzyme. This study aimed to evaluate donafenib-dapagliflozin and donafenib-canagliflozin pharmacokinetic interactions and explore the potential mechanisms. Rats were divided into seven groups (n = 6) that received donafenib (1), dapagliflozin (2), canagliflozin (3), dapagliflozin and donafenib (4), canagliflozin and donafenib (5), donafenib and dapagliflozin (6), donafenib and canagliflozin (7)...

INTRODUCTION: Cardiac transplantation (CTx) is a life-saving operation that can improve the quality and length of a recipient's life. Immunosuppression medication, required to prevent rejection, can result in adverse metabolic and renal effects. Clinically significant complications include metabolic effects such as diabetes and weight gain, renal impairment, and cardiac disease such as allograft vasculopathy and myocardial fibrosis. Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of oral medication that increase urinary excretion of glucose...

The pharmacological inhibition of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) has emerged as a treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease and/or other metabolic disturbances, although some of the mechanisms implicated in their beneficial effects are unknown. The SGLT2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) empagliflozin has been suggested as a regulator of adiposity, energy metabolism, and systemic inflammation in adipose tissue. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of a 6-week-empagliflozin treatment on the lipidome of visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) from diabetic obese Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats using an untargeted metabolomics approach...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease characterized by abnormally high blood glucose concentrations due to dysfunction of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. Dapagliflozin, an inhibitor of renal glucose reabsorption, has the potential to improve often suboptimal glycemic control in patients with T1DM through insulin-independent mechanisms and to partially mitigate the adverse effects associated with long-term insulin administration. In this work, we have adapted a systems pharmacology model of type 2 diabetes mellitus to describe the T1DM condition and characterize the effect of dapagliflozin on short- and long-term glycemic markers under various treatment scenarios...

The kidney plays an important role in maintaining glucose homeostasis which is used as a metabolic substrate, generated through the mechanism of gluconeogenesis and reabsorbed in the glomerular filtrate through the action of sodium-glucose cotransporters 1 and 2 (SGLT1/2) located in the proximal tubule. Recent studies have shown that inhibition of renal glucose reabsorption, achieved through the administration of sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors, significantly reduces renal adverse events and exacerbations of heart failure, not only in diabetic patients, with and without confirmed cardiovascular damage, but also in patients with advanced chronic renal failure and in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction regardless of the presence of diabetes...

With the growing burden of metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes mellitus, there is an implication for new pharmacological intervention. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a class of drugs that work on SGLT2 receptors in the kidneys to decrease glucose reabsorption. Lowering glucose levels mainly aids those with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), but they also have many other effects on the body. This article will investigate the impact of SGLT2i on six relevant organ systems; to establish current knowledge and potential benefits and risk for SGLTi in clinical practice...

In addition to inhibiting renal glucose reabsorption and allowing for glucose excretion, the sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin may be efficacious in treating various comorbidities associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The molecular mechanisms by which dapagliflozin exerts its beneficial effects are largely unknown. We hypothesized dapagliflozin treatment in the diabetic kidney alters plasma membrane lipid composition, suppresses extracellular vesicle (EV) release from kidney cells, and disrupts lipid rafts in proximal tubule cells...

NEW FINDINGS: What is the central question of this study? Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with both diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease: can SGLT2 inhibition improve renal pressure natriuresis (PN), an important mechanism for long-term blood pressure control, which is impaired in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)? What is the main finding and its importance? The SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin did not enhance the acute in vivo PN response in either healthy or T1DM Sprague-Dawley rats...

The sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor tofogliflozin is a glucose-lowering drug that causes the excretion of surplus glucose by inhibiting SGLT2. Because of tofogliflozin's osmotic diuresis mechanism, patients' serum electrolytes, body fluid levels, and cardiac function must be monitored. We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 64 elderly Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who received tofogliflozin for 3 months. Their HbA1c, serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride), hematocrit, brain natriuretic peptide (cardiac volume load marker) and renin and aldosterone (RAA; an index of regulatory hormones involved in body fluid retention) were continuously monitored during the investigation period...

AIMS: DWP16001 is a novel sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes with selective and sustained sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibition. We aimed to evaluate whether the coadministration of DWP16001 and metformin causes any changes in pharmacokinetics (PK) or pharmacodynamics (PD). METHODS: A randomized, open-label, single- and multiple-dose, 2-sequence, crossover study was conducted in healthy male subjects. Subjects received the following treatments: a single oral dose of DWP16001 (DWP) 2 mg, metformin immediate release 1000 mg (MET) twice daily for 7 days and a single oral dose of DWP and MET at steady-state for metformin (DWP+MET)...

Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) can induce acute kidney injury. Empagliflozin is a newly developed inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) approved as an antidiabetic medication for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Despite the established cardioprotective functions of empagliflozin, its protective role in renal I/R is unclear. Here, the present study evaluated the renoprotective effects of empagliflozin in a mouse model of renal I/R injury. Male C57/BL6 mice were allocated to sham-operated, I/R, and empagliflozin groups...
