galacto-Dapagliflozin Usage And Synthesis

Biological Activity

ki = 2 nmgalacto-dapagliflozin is a potent inhibitor of human sglt2.renal glucose transport is mediated by sodium-glucose cotransporters (sglt) 1 and 2. in humans, sglt2 is responsible for the majority of glucose reabsorption in the kidney.

in vitro

it was found that galacto-dapagliflozin was a selective inhibitor of hsglt2, but was less potent than dapagliflozin for both transporters. both phlorizin and galacto-dapagliflozin rapidly dissociated from sglt2, while dapagliflozin and fluoro-dapagliflozin dissociated from hsglt2 at a rate 10-fold slower. dapagliflozin, fluoro-dapagliflozin, and galacto-dapagliflozin dissociated quickly from hsglt1, and phlorizin readily exchanged with dapagliflozin bound to hsglt1 [1].

in vivo

male db/db mice were administered dapagliflozin for 12 weeks. results showed that administration of dapagliflozin could ameliorate hyperglycemia, β-cell damage and albuminuria in db/db mice. serum creatinine, creatinine clearance and blood pressure were not affected by administration of dapagliflozin. dapagliflozin treatment was able to decrease macrophage infiltration in the kidney of db/db mice [2].
