Abstract
INTRODUCTION The sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are FDA-approved class of drugs for diabetes management. They improve glycemic control by inducing glucosuria. Notwithstanding with potent anti-hyperglycemic activity, SGLT2 inhibitors are emerging as drugs with multifaceted therapeutic potential, evidenced for cardioprotective, renoprotective, antihypertensive, and neuroprotective activities. Continuous attempts are being accomplished through structural modification, development of new formulation, or combination with other drugs, to enhance the bioactivity spectrum of SGLT2 inhibitors for better management of diabetes and related complications. AREAS COVERED This review comprises a summary of patent applications, acquired using the Espacenet Patent Search database, concerning SGLT2 inhibitors from 2019 to 2023, with focus on improving therapeutic potentials in management of diabetes and metabolic complications. EXPERT OPINION SGLT2 inhibitors have provided an exciting treatment option for diabetes. Originally developed as anti-hyperglycemic agents, SGLT2 inhibitors exert pleiotropic metabolic responses and have emerged as promising antidiabetic agents with cardio-protective and reno-protective activities. Given their distinct therapeutic profile, SGLT2 inhibitors have revolutionized the management of diabetes and associated complications. Emerging evidences on their therapeutic potential against cancer, male reproductive dysfunctions, and neurodegenerative diseases indicate that further research in this field may unfold novel prospective on their plausible use in the management of other chronic conditions.

Yu Y, Xia Y, Liang G. Exploring novel lead scaffolds for SGLT2 inhibitors: Insights from machine learning and molecular dynamics simulations. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130375. [PMID: 38403210 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) plays a pivotal role in mediating glucose reabsorption within the renal filtrate, representing a well-known target in type 2 diabetes and heart failure. Recent emphasis has been directed toward designing SGLT2 inhibitors, with C-glycoside inhibitors emerging as front-runners. The architecture of SGLT2 has been successfully resolved using cryo-electron microscopy. However, comprehension of the pharmacophores within the binding site of SGLT2 remains unclear. Here, we use machine learning and molecular dynamics simulations on SGLT2 bound with its inhibitors in preclinical or clinical development to shed light on this issue. Our dataset comprises 1240 SGLT2 inhibitors amalgamated from diverse sources, forming the basis for constructing machine learning models. SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) elucidates the crucial fragments that contribute to inhibitor activity, specifically Morgan_3, 162, 310, 325, 366, 470, 597, 714, 926, and 975. Furthermore, the computed binding free energies and per-residue contributions for SGLT2-inhibitor complexes unveil crucial fragments of inhibitors that interact with residues Asn-75, His-80, Val-95, Phe-98, Val-157, Leu-274, and Phe-453 in the binding site of SGLT2. This comprehensive investigation enhances understanding of the binding mechanism for SGLT2 inhibitors, providing a robust framework for evaluating and discovering novel lead scaffolds within this domain.

[PMID: 38069193 PMCID: PMC10706647 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242316873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, is an antidiabetic medication that reduces blood glucose. Although it is well known that dapagliflozin has additional benefits beyond glycemic control, such as reducing blood pressure and lowering the risk of cardiovascular events, no sufficient research data are available on the direct effect of dapagliflozin on cardiovascular function. Thus, in this study, we investigated the direct vascular effect of dapagliflozin on isolated rat coronary arteries. The left descending coronary arteries of 13-week-old male Sprague Dawley rats were cut into segments 2-3 mm long and mounted in a multi-wire myography system to measure isometric tension. Dapagliflozin effectively reduced blood vessel constriction induced by U-46619 (500 nM) in coronary arteries regardless of the endothelium. Treatment with an eNOS inhibitor (L-NNA, 100 μM), sGC inhibitor (ODQ, 5 μM), or COX inhibitor (indomethacin, 3 μM) did not affect the vasodilation induced by dapagliflozin. The application of a Ca2+-activated K+ channel (KCa) blocker (TEA, 2 mM), voltage-dependent K+ channel (KV) blocker (4-AP, 2 mM), ATP-sensitive K+ channel blocker (KATP) glibenclamide (3 μM), and inward-rectifier K+ channel (KIR) blocker (BaCl2, 30 μM) did not affect the dapagliflozin-induced vasodilation either. The treatment with dapagliflozin decreased contractile responses induced by the addition of Ca2+, which suggested that the extracellular Ca2+ influx was inhibited by dapagliflozin. Treatment with dapagliflozin decreased the phosphorylation level of the 20 kDa myosin light chain (MLC20) in vascular smooth muscle cells. In the present study, we found that dapagliflozin has a significant vasodilatory effect on rat coronary arteries. Our findings suggest a novel pharmacologic approach for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients through the modulation of Ca2+ homeostasis via dapagliflozin administration.

Abstract
According to the 2021 report of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), there have been approximately 573 million cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among adults, which sets the disease as a major concern in healthcare worldwide. The development of T2DM is strongly promoted by unhealthy lifestyle factors associated with urbanization and western civilization. The disease is associated with a broad list of systemic complications that can result in premature death, disability and significantly reduced quality of life. The most dramatic in their consequences are cardiovascular complications of T2DM. Our work focuses on one such complication that is specific for diabetes, named diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC). In this condition cardiac dysfunction occurs despite the absence of underlying hypertension, coronary artery disease and valvular disease, which suggest a leading role for metabolic disturbances as a cause. We aimed to establish the role of relatively new hypoglycaemic drugs that have taken the medical world by storm with their broad pleiotropic effects-SGLT-2 inhibitors-in the prevention and treatment of DC at any stage.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors (gliflozins) represent the most recently approved class of oral antidiabetic drugs. SGLT-2 overexpression in diabetic patients contributes significantly to hyperglycemia and related complications. Therefore, SGLT-2 became a highly interesting therapeutic target, culminating in the approval for clinical use of dapagliflozin and analogues in the past decade. Gliflozins improve glycemic control through a novel insulin-independent mechanism of action and, moreover, exhibit significant cardiorenal protective effects in both diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. Therefore, gliflozins have received increasing attention, prompting extensive structure-activity relationship studies and optimization approaches. The discovery that intestinal SGLT-1 inhibition can provide a novel opportunity to control hyperglycemia, through a multifactorial mechanism, recently encouraged the design of low adsorbable inhibitors selectively directed to the intestinal SGLT-1 subtype as well as of dual SGLT-1/SGLT-2 inhibitors, representing a compelling strategy to identify new antidiabetic drug candidates.

Abstract
Glycans are one of the four fundamental macromolecular components of living matter, and they are highly regulated in the cell. Their functions are metabolic, structural and modulatory. In particular, ER resident N-glycans participate with the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 highly conserved sequence, in protein folding process, where the physiological balance between glycosylation/deglycosylation on the innermost glucose residue takes place, according GANAB/UGGT concentration ratio. However, under abnormal conditions, the cell adapts to the glucose availability by adopting an aerobic or anaerobic regimen of glycolysis, or to external stimuli through internal or external recognition patterns, so it responds to pathogenic noxa with unfolded protein response (UPR). UPR can affect Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and several neurological and metabolic diseases via the BiP stress sensor, resulting in ATF6, PERK and IRE1 activation. Furthermore, the abnormal GANAB expression has been observed in MS, systemic lupus erythematous, male germinal epithelium and predisposed highly replicating cells of the kidney tubules and bile ducts. The latter is the case of Polycystic Liver Disease (PCLD) and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PCKD), where genetically induced GANAB loss affects polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), resulting in altered protein quality control and cyst formation phenomenon. Our topics resume the role of glycans in cell physiology, highlighting the N-glycans one, as a substrate of GANAB, which is an emerging key molecule in MS and other human pathologies.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute and significant life-threatening complication of diabetes. The association of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) with euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) has been well reported. This literature review was conducted to understand the mechanism of EDKA and identify the potential risk factors and precipitants for patients taking SGLT2i. After reviewing the published literature between 2010 and 2020, 32 articles are included in the final review. The underlying mechanism is mainly enhanced lipolysis and ketone body reabsorption. SGLT2i also stimulates pancreatic alpha cells and inhibits beta cells, causing an imbalance in glucagon/insulin levels, further contributing to lipolysis and ketogenesis. Most patients were diagnosed with blood glucose less than 200 mg/dL, blood pH <7.3, increased anion gap, increased blood, or urine ketones. Perioperative fasting, pancreatic etiology, low carbohydrate or ketogenic diet, obesity, and malignancy are identified precipitants in this review. As normoglycemia can conceal the underlying acidosis, physicians should be cognizant of the EDKA diagnosis and initiate prompt treatment. Patient education on risk factors and triggers is recommended to avoid future events.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a common complication or late-stage manifestation of various heart diseases. Numerous risk factors and underlying causes may contribute to the occurrence and progression of HF. The pathophysiological mechanisms of HF are very complicated. Despite accumulating advances in treatment for HF during recent decades, it remains an intractable clinical syndrome with poor outcomes, significantly reducing the quality of life and expectancy of patients, and imposing a heavy economic burden on society and families. Although initially classified as antidiabetic agents, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated reduced the prevalence of hospitalization for HF, cardiovascular death, and all-cause death in several large-scale randomized controlled clinical trials. These beneficial effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors can be attributed to multiple hemodynamic, inflammatory and metabolic mechanisms, not only reducing the serum glucose level. SGLT2 inhibitors have been used increasingly in treatment for patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction due to their surprising performance in improving the prognosis. In addition, their roles and mechanisms in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction or acute HF have also attracted attention. In this review article, we discuss the possible mechanisms and applications of SGLT2 inhibitors in HF.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the pharmacological characteristics of SU-011, a novel sodium-dependent glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor.
Methods
The in vitro activities of SU-011 were investigated in cell-based assays. The urinary glucose excretion, glucose tolerance and the risk of hypoglycaemia were evaluated in mice. Moreover, the dose–response relationship and chronic pharmacological studies of SU-011 were assessed in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic model, a STZ-treated model with impaired insulin secretion.
Key findings
SU-011 is a potential SGLT2 inhibitor with 5.6 nm inhibitory activity for SGLT2 and 1137-fold selectivity for SGLT1. In healthy mice, SU-011 improves the tolerance to a glucose load and promotes the urinary glucose excretion. Besides, SU-011 (10 mg/kg) still exhibited less risk of hypoglycaemia. During chronic treatment, SU-011 exhibited sustained glucose-lowering effect without the side effect of weight gain in STZ-induced diabetic mice. The levels of non-fasting and fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin, food and water intake were significantly decreased in SU-011-treated group. Moreover, SU-011 decreases the plasma levels of interleukin-1β, tumour necrosis factor-α and C-reactive protein even better than that of dapagliflozin.
Conclusions
All of these results indicated that SU-011 may be effective for the management of diabetes.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are the latest class of drugs to be introduced for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). They reduce hyperglycemia by increasing urinary glucose excretion and exert favorable effects beyond glucose control with consistent body weight, blood pressure, and serum uric acid reductions. Empagliflozin is a potent SGLT2 inhibitor used to improve glycemic control in adults with T2DM. It has the highest SGLT2 specificity among all the clinically used or currently tested SGLT2 inhibitors. Low risk of hypoglycemia, absence of weight gain and demonstrated cardiovascular risk reduction support its consideration as a first line medication in addition to metformin for patients with T2DM and cardiovascular disease. Mostly reported adverse events are genital mycotic infections, while urinary tract infections and events linked to volume depletion are rather rare. This review covers the complete information on empagliflozin including the history of its development, synthesis, pharmacology and different methods which have been reported for its analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dapagliflozin, sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, has potential side effects on electrolyte imbalance as it has diuretic effects which include decreasing glucose reabsorption, increasing glucosuria and natriuresis. We aimed to determine the possible effects of dapagliflozin on electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with type 2 DM. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study consisted of 49 patients (25 female, 24 male). Patients who had inadequate glycemic control besides using several oral antidiabetics, subsequently endorsed with dapagliflozin, were included in the current study. RESULTS Meantime interval from treatment initiation to control was 10.5 ± 5.03 weeks. Body mass index, glucose, HbA1C, eGFR, LDL-C, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were found to be significantly lower at control admission (p<0.05). Creatinine and QT interval were significantly higher at control admission (p<0.05). Baseline Tpe duration and baseline Tpe/QT ratio were found to be significantly correlated with Tpe/QT difference (p<0.05). In linear regression analysis, baseline Tpe/QT ratio was found to be the sole independent predictor of Tpe/QT difference (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Initiation of dapagliflozin treatment seems to be safe, up to several months, in terms of serum electrolytes and ECG findings in patients with type 2 DM with a probable improvement.
