Remogliflozin etabonate

Remogliflozin etabonate (GSK189075) is an orally active, selective and low-affinity sodium glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) inhibitor with K_i values of 1.95 μM, 2.14 μM, 43.1 μM, 8.57 μM for hSGLT2, rSGLT2, hSGLT1, rSGLT1, respectively. Remogliflozin etabonate is a prodrug based on benzylpyrazole glucoside and is metabolized to its active form, Remogliflozin, in the body. Remogliflozin etabonate exhibits antidiabetic efficacy in rodent models^[1]. In Vivo: Remogliflozin etabonate (GSK189075; 10 or 30 mg/kg; orally; twice daily for 6 weeks) significantly reduced both the FPG and GHb levels in a dosedependent manner^[1].
Remogliflozin etabonate (3, 10, 30 mg/kg; orally) increases urinary glucose excretion in a dose-dependent manner. Remogliflozin etabonate dose-dependently inhibits the increase in plasma glucose after glucose loading and decreases the plasma insulin in normal rats^[1].
Remogliflozin etabonate (1-10 mg/kg; orally) decreases the blood glucose and reduces the AUC_{0–6 h} for blood glucose in a dose-dependent manner^[1].
Remogliflozin etabonate (high-fat diet containing 0.01, 0.03, or 0.1% remogliflozin etabonate for 8 weeks) reduces the levels of plasma glucose, plasma insulin, and GHb in a dose-dependent manner, and it suppresses the development of hypertriglyceridemia in male GK rats (6 weeks of age)^[1].
