Renal protective effects and mechanisms of Astragalus membranaceus for diabetic kidney disease in animal models: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 129:155646. [PMID: 38733903 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Astragalus membranaceus (AM) shows potential therapeutic benefits for managing diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a leading cause of kidney failure with no cure. However, its comprehensive effects on renal outcomes and plausible mechanisms remain unclear. PURPOSE This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the effects and mechanisms of AM on renal outcomes in DKD animal models. METHODS Seven electronic databases were searched for animal studies until September 2023. Risk of bias was assessed based on SYRCLE's Risk of Bias tool. Standardized mean difference (SMD) or mean difference (MD) were estimated for the effects of AM on serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), albuminuria, histological changes, oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis and glucolipids. Effects were pooled using random-effects models. Heterogeneity was presented as I2. Subgroup analysis investigated treatment- and animal-related factors for renal outcomes. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger's test. Sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the results' robustness. RevMan 5.3 and Stata MP 15 software were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Forty studies involving 1543 animals were identified for analysis. AM treatment significantly decreased SCr (MD = -19.12 μmol/l, 95 % CI: -25.02 to -13.23), BUN (MD = -6.72 mmol/l, 95 % CI: -9.32 to -4.12), urinary albumin excretion rate (SMD = -2.74, 95 % CI: -3.57, -1.90), histological changes (SMD = -2.25, 95 % CI: -3.19 to -1.32). AM treatment significantly improved anti-oxidative stress expression (SMD = 1.69, 95 % CI: 0.97 to 2.41), and decreased inflammation biomarkers (SMD = -3.58, 95 % CI: -5.21 to -1.95). AM treatment also decreased fibrosis markers (i.e. TGF-β1, CTGF, collagen IV, Wnt4 and β-catenin) and increased anti-fibrosis marker BMP-7. Blood glucose, lipids and kidney size were also improved compared with the DM control group. CONCLUSION AM could improve renal outcomes and alleviate injury through multiple signaling pathways. This indicates AM may be an option to consider for the development of future DKD therapeutics.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and most prevalent metabolic disorder affecting 422 million the people worldwide and causing life-threatening associated conditions including disorders of kidney, heart, and nervous system as well as leg amputation and retinopathy. Steadily rising cases from the last few decades suggest the failure of currently available drugs in containment of this disease. α-Glucosidase is a potential target for effectively tackling this disease and attracting significant interest from medicinal chemists around the globe. Besides having a set of side effects, currently available α-glucosidase inhibitors (carbohydrate mimics) offer better tolerability, safety, and synergistic pharmacological outcomes with other antidiabetic drugs therefore medicinal chemists have working extensively over last three decades for developing alternative α-glucosidase inhibitors. The 1,2,3-Triazole nucleus is energetically used by various research groups around the globe for the development of α-glucosidase inhibitors posing it as an optimum scaffold in the field of antidiabetic drug development. This review is a systematic analysis of α-glucosidase inhibitors developed by employing 1,2,3-triazole scaffold with special focus on design strategies, structure-activity relationships, and mechanism of inhibitory effect. This article will act as lantern for medicinal chemists in developing of potent, safer, and effective α-glucosidase inhibitors with desired properties and improved therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease with a steadily increasing prevalence worldwide. Diabetes affects the function of many organs, including the skin. Pharmacotherapy for T2DM is mainly based on oral hypoglycemic drugs. The therapeutic strategy is chosen taking into account the individual patient's characteristics, among other comorbidities. Antidiabetic drugs can induce cutaneous adverse reactions (CADRs) ranging in severity from mild erythema to serious disorders such as DRESS or Stevens-Johnson syndrome. CADRs can result from hypersensitivity to the drug but can also be related to the mechanism of action of the drug or cross-reactivity with drugs of similar structure. This paper reviews CADRs induced by oral antidiabetic drugs, considering their dermatological manifestations and possible pathomechanisms. Particular attention was paid to specific dermatological conditions such as dipeptidylpeptidase 4 inhibitor-associated bullous pemphigoid or Fournier's gangrene associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor therapy. Knowledge of the dermatological manifestations of CADRs is important in clinical practice. Recognition of a skin lesion resulting from an adverse drug reaction allows for appropriate management, which in this case is primarily related to drug discontinuation. This is particularly important in the treatment of T2DM since this disease has a high prevalence in the elderly, who are at higher risk of adverse drug reactions.

Nyström T. Key results from observational studies and real-world evidence of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor effectiveness and safety in reducing cardio-renal risk. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024. [PMID: 38859661 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, originally designed to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), have emerged as a crucial class of drugs for managing cardio-renal diseases. These drugs work by targeting the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, promoting the excretion of glucose and influencing metabolic pathways beyond glucose control. The relationship between cardio-renal diseases and SGLT2 inhibitors has been explored through landmark trials and real-world evidence (RWE) studies, demonstrating significant reductions in cardio-renal complications. This review discusses the importance of RWE studies alongside randomized controlled trials in understanding the real-world effectiveness and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors. It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of RWE compared to RCTs, highlighting their complementary roles in providing comprehensive insights into treatment outcomes. By examining a range of RWE studies, the review underscores the cardio-renal benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors across various patient populations. Safety assessments indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors are generally well tolerated, with severe adverse events being rare. Common issues, such as genital mycotic infections and urinary tract infections, are acknowledged, alongside less frequent but significant adverse events including diabetic ketoacidosis, lower-limb amputations, and bone fractures. In summary, SGLT2 inhibitors show promising cardio-renal protective effects in real-world scenarios across diverse populations in T2D, indicating their potential as early intervention measures. Continued research is essential for gaining a thorough understanding of their long-term effects and safety profiles.

Abstract
AIM Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are two new classes of antidiabetic agents. We aimed to evaluate the association between these two drug classes and risk of various vascular diseases, digestive diseases and fractures. METHODS Large randomized trials of SGLT2is and GLP-1RAs were included. Outcomes of interest were the various serious adverse events related to vascular diseases, digestive diseases and fractures. We performed meta-analyses using synthesize risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) as effect size. RESULTS We included 27 large trials. SGLT2is had significant association with less hypertension (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.54-0.91), hypertensive crisis (RR 0.63, 95% CI 0.47-0.84), varicose vein (RR 0.34, 95% CI 0.13-0.92), and vomiting (RR 0.55, 95% CI 0.31-0.97); but more spinal compression fracture (RR 1.73, 95% CI 1.02-2.92) and tibia fracture. GLP-1RAs had significant association with more deep vein thrombosis (RR 1.92, 95% CI 1.23-3.00), pancreatitis (RR 1.54, 95% CI 1.07-2.22), and cholecystitis acute (RR 1.51, 95% CI 1.08-2.09); but less rib fracture (RR 0.59, 95% CI 0.35-0.97). Sensitivity analyses suggested that our findings were robust. CONCLUSIONS SGLT2is may have protective effects against specific vascular and digestive diseases, whereas they may increase the incidence of site-specific fractures (e.g., spinal compression fracture). GLP-1RAs may have protective effects against site-specific fractures (i.e., rib fracture), whereas they may increase the incidence of specific vascular and digestive diseases. These findings may help to make a choice between SGLT2is and GLP-1RAs in clinical practice.

Abstract
The increasing use of sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) for treating cardiovascular (CV) diseases and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is accompanied by a rise in euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis occurrences in cardiac surgery patients. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery, due to their pre-existing CV disease which often requires SGLT2i prescriptions, face an increased risk of postoperative metabolic acidosis (MA) or ketoacidosis (KA) associated with SGLT2i, compounded by fasting and surgical stress. The primary aim of this study is to quantify the incidence of SGLT2i-related postoperative MA or KA and to identify related risk factors. We analyzed data retrospectively of 823 cardiac surgery patients, including 46 treated with SGLT2i from November 2019 to October 2022. Among 46 final cohorts treated preoperatively with SGLT2i, 29 (63%) developed postoperative metabolic complications. Of these 46 patients, stratified into two categories based on postoperative laboratory findings, risk factor analysis were conducted and compared. Analysis indicated a prescription duration over one week significantly elevated the risk of complications (Unadjusted OR, 11.7; p = 0.032*; Adjusted OR, 31.58; p = 0.014*). A subgroup analysis showed that a cardiopulmonary bypass duration of 60 min or less significantly raises the risk of SGLT2i-related postoperative MA in patients with a sufficient prescription duration. We omitted the term "diabetes" in describing complications related to SGLT2i, as these issues are not exclusive to T2D patients. Awareness of SGLT2i-related postoperative MA or KA can help clinicians distinguish between non-life-threatening conditions and severe causes, thereby preventing unnecessary tests and ensuring best practice.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a major health concern contributing to most of diabetic cases worldwide. Mangiferin and its congeners are known for their diverse pharmacological properties. This study sought to investigate the inhibitory property of naturally occurring mangiferin congeners on sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 protein (SGLT-2) using comprehensive computational methods. The naturally occurring mangiferin congeners were subjected to molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MDs) simulation (100 ns), molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) binding free energy, density functional theory calculations (B3LYP 6-31G basis set), and ADMET approaches to identify potential SGLT-2 inhibitor. The molecular docking studies revealed neomangiferin (-9.0 kcal/mol) as the hit molecule compared with dapagliflozin (-8.3 kcal/mol). Root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) and root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF) plots from the MD simulations established that neomangiferin stabilizes SGLT-2 better than the dapagliflozin, a standard drug. The MM-PBSA binding free energy calculations showed that neomangiferin (-26.05 kcal/mol) elicited better binding affinity than dapagliflozin (-17.42 kcal/mol). The electronic studies showed that neomangiferin (3.48 eV) elicited high electrophilicity index compared with mangiferin (3.31 eV) and dapagliflozin (2.11 eV). Also, the ADMET properties showed that the hit molecule is safe when administered to diabetic subjects. The current in silico studies suggest that neomangiferin could emerge as a promising lead molecule as a SGLT-2 inhibitor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common and severe complication of diabetes that can lead to end-stage renal disease with no cure. The first-line drugs recommended by clinical guidelines fail to achieve satisfactory effects for people with DKD. A Chinese herbal medicine Tangshen Qushi Formula (TQF) shows preliminary efficacy and safety in preserving renal function for people with DKD, but the effects on comprehensive renal outcomes remain unclear. We will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of TQF herbs and their compounds identified from ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-MS/MS in diabetic animal models with renal outcomes. METHODS This protocol complies with the guideline Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. We will include studies investigating the effects of TQF herbs and compounds on diabetic rats or mice with renal outcomes. Six electronic databases will be searched from their inception to February 2023. Quality assessment will be conducted using SYRCLE's risk of bias tool. Standardized or weighted mean differences will be estimated for renal outcomes (creatinine, urea, proteinuria, histological changes, oxidative stress, inflammation, and kidney fibrosis). Data will be pooled using random-effects models. Heterogeneity across studies will be expressed as I2. Sensitivity analyses will explore treatment effects in adjusted models and within subgroups. Funnel plots and Egger's test will be used to explore publication bias. DISCUSSION The results of this review will provide valuable insights into the potential effects of TQF in managing DKD. The limitation is that the included studies will be animal studies from specific databases, and the interpretation of the findings must be cautious.

Abstract
Keeping in view the inhibitory potential of monoterpenes thymol and carvacrol as well as coumarin nucleus against α-glucosidase, novel series of thymol/carvacrol-coumarin hybrids was designed, synthesized and evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory potential. Among the series of hybrid molecules, AS14 with IC50 value of 4.32 ± 0.11 μM was selective α-glucosidase inhibitor over α-amylase (IC50 = 37.36 ± 0.84 μM). AS14 was non-toxic toward mouse normal fibroblast cells (L929: IC50 > 100 μM). Molecular docking and dynamic simulation studies confirmed desired interactions of AS14 with α-glucosidase responsible for the inhibition of its catalysis capabilities. Acute oral toxicity study confirmed AS14 as safer molecule for in vivo pharmacological investigations with LD50 value of 300 mg/kg. AS14 also showed acute hypoglycaemic effects [reduction in blood glucose levels at 1 h of administration in maltose loading test (at 10 and 20 mg/kg by 62.65 % and 70.12 %) and sucrose loading test (at 10 and 20 mg/kg by 59.65 % and 60.23 %), respectively] as well as long term (28 days) fasting blood glucose reduction (At day 28: 10 mg/kg = 54.69 % and 20 mg/kg = 62.23 % reduction in fasting blood glucose levels) capabilities in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Overall study represents, AS14 as potential α-glucosidase inhibitor with adequate efficacy and safety profile and act as an effective hit lead for the further development of potent and safer α-glucosidase inhibitors for the management of postprandial hyperglycemia in diabetic patients.

Comparative safety of different recommended doses of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1256548. [PMID: 38027214 PMCID: PMC10667926 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1256548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The safety results of different recommended doses of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remain uncertain. This study aims to comprehensively estimate and rank the relative safety outcomes with different doses of SGLT-2i for T2DM. Methods PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang database, and SinoMed database were searched from the inception to 31 May 2023. We included double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT-2i with placebo or another antihyperglycemic as oral monotherapy in the adults with a diagnosis of T2DM. Results Twenty-five RCTs with 12,990 patients randomly assigned to 10 pharmacological interventions and placebo were included. Regarding genital infections (GI), all SGLT-2i, except for ertugliflozin and ipragliflozin, were associated with a higher risk of GI compared to placebo. Empagliflozin 10mg/d (88.2%, odds ratio [OR] 7.90, 95% credible interval [CrI] 3.39 to 22.08) may be the riskiest, followed by empagliflozin 25mg/d (83.4%, OR 7.22, 95%CrI 3.11 to 20.04)) and canagliflozin 300mg/d (70.8%, OR 5.33, 95%CrI 2.25 to 13.83) based on probability rankings. Additionally, dapagliflozin 10mg/d ranked highest for urinary tract infections (UTI, OR 2.11, 95%CrI 1.20 to 3.79, 87.2%), renal impairment (80.7%), and nasopharyngitis (81.6%) when compared to placebo and other treatments. No increased risk of harm was observed with different doses of SGLT-2i regarding hypoglycemia, acute kidney injury, diabetic ketoacidosis, or fracture. Further subgroup analysis by gender revealed no significantly increased risk of UTI. Dapagliflozin 10mg/d (91.9%) and canagliflozin 300mg/d (88.8%) ranked first in the female and male subgroups, respectively, according to the probability rankings for GI. Conclusion Current evidence indicated that SGLT-2i did not significantly increase the risk of harm when comparing different doses, except for dapagliflozin 10mg/d, which showed an increased risk of UTI and may be associated with a higher risk of renal impairment and nasopharyngitis. Additionally, compared with placebo and metformin, the risk of GI was notably elevated for empagliflozin 10mg/d, canagliflozin 300mg/d, and dapagliflozin 10mg/d. However, it is important to note that further well-designed RCTs with larger sample sizes are necessary to verify and optimize the current body of evidence.

Abstract
Despite continuous advances in both diagnosis and management, heart failure (HF) still represents a major worldwide health issue. Recently, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated to reduce cardiovascular death and hospitalization for HF across the entire spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction. Therefore, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin and sotagliflozin are now recommended as part of the foundational therapy of HF. These agents are characterized by limited contraindications, low cost, non-relevant adverse effects and no need for titration. Although they have a prominent role in the latest recommendations for HF, drug prescriptions are definitely lower than the number of potentially eligible patients. In fact, awareness gaps, therapeutic inertia, concerns about safety and simultaneous initiation of comprehensive medical therapy may represent barriers to their use. This article aims to offer an overview of current knowledge on SGLT2i in HF and provide a comprehensive and updated practical guide on their use in de novo and chronic HF, including potential scenarios that a clinician, cardiologist or others, may face in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
The global prevalence of heart failure (HF) is rising and carries a heavy social and economic burden. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are at an increased risk of incident HF even in the absence of cardiovascular risk factors. Patients with established HF are at an increased risk of death following a worsening HF event. Various trials on sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown that these novel drugs prevent incident HF and reduce the risk of worsening HF in both patients with T2DM and those without diabetes. This literature review analyzed the data from 13 randomized controlled trials that met the pre-specified inclusion criteria. The aim was to compare the clinical outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors for primary and secondary prevention of HF in patients with T2DM and those without diabetes. In addition, this study collated and summarized the patients' clinical characteristics with respect to the clinical outcome, and finally, it evaluated the safety considerations when using SGLT2 inhibitors. The data showed that SGLT2 inhibitors are effective and safe in the primary and secondary prevention of HF across a broad spectrum of patient populations and care settings. Therefore, wider eligibility for their use should be considered.

Abstract
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) is a class of drugs that were originally intended for decreasing blood glucose in diabetes. However, recent trials have shown that there are other beneficial effects. Major clinical trials involving SGLT2i medications from 2015 to 2022 were reviewed using PUBMED search. Recent major SGLT2i landmark trials have demonstrated benefits for cardiovascular disease (reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death), hospitalization for heart failure, all-cause death), and renal disease (delay the onset of dialysis) regardless of diabetic status. The consistent cardiorenal benefits observed in major landmark trials have resulted in the rapid adoption of SGLT2i therapy not only in diabetes guidelines but also cardiovascular and renal guidelines.

Management of Type 2 Diabetic Kidney Disease in 2022: A Narrative Review for Specialists and Primary Care. Can J Kidney Health Dis 2023; 10:20543581221150556. [PMID: 36726361 PMCID: PMC9884958 DOI: 10.1177/20543581221150556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose of review Kidney disease is present in almost half of Canadian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and it is also the most common first cardiorenal manifestation of T2D. Despite clear guidelines for testing, opportunities are being missed to identify kidney diseases, and many Canadians are therefore not receiving the best available treatments. This has become even more important given recent clinical trials demonstrating improvements in both kidney and cardiovascular (CV) endpoints with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, finerenone. The goal of this document is to provide a narrative review of the current evidence for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) that supports this new standard of care and to provide practice points. Sources of information An expert panel of Canadian clinicians was assembled, including 9 nephrologists, an endocrinologist, and a primary care practitioner. The information the authors used for this review consisted of published clinical trials and guidelines, selected by the authors based on their assessment of their relevance to the questions being answered. Methods Panelists met virtually to discuss potential questions to be answered in the review and agreed on 10 key questions. Two panel members volunteered as co-leads to write the summaries and practice points for each of the identified questions. Summaries and practice points were distributed to the entire author list by email. Through 2 rounds of online voting, a second virtual meeting, and subsequent email correspondence, the authors reached consensus on the contents of the review, including all the practice points. Key findings It is critical that DKD be identified as early as possible in the course of the disease to optimally prevent disease progression and associated complications. Patients with diabetes should be routinely screened for DKD with assessments of both urinary albumin and kidney function. Treatment decisions should be individualized based on the risks and benefits, patients' needs and preferences, medication access and cost, and the degree of glucose lowering needed. Patients with DKD should be treated to achieve targets for A1C and blood pressure. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade and treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors are also key components of the standard of care to reduce the risk of kidney and CV events for these patients. Finerenone should also be considered to further reduce the risk of CV events and chronic kidney disease progression. Education of patients with diabetes prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors and/or finerenone is an important component of treatment. Limitations No formal guideline process was used. The practice points are not graded and are not intended to be viewed as having the weight of a clinical practice guideline or formal consensus statement. However, most practice points are well aligned with current clinical practice guidelines.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease due to diabetes, or diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is a worldwide leading cause of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure and an increasingly important global public health issue. It is associated with poor quality of life, high burden of chronic diseases, and increased risk of premature death. Until recently, people with DKD had limited therapeutic options. Treatments have focused largely on glycemic and blood pressure control and renin-angiotensin system blockade, leaving patients with significant residual risk for progression of DKD. The availability of newer classes of glucose-lowering agents, namely, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, has changed the therapeutic landscape for these patients. These therapies have offered unprecedented opportunities to reduce the risk for progression of kidney disease and the risk of death that have led to recent updates to clinical guidelines. As such, the American Diabetes Association, the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes, and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes now recommend the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists for patients with DKD to provide both kidney and cardiovascular protective benefits. This review highlights the importance of early detection of DKD and summarizes the latest recommendations in the clinical guidelines on management of patients with DKD with hope of facilitating their uptake into everyday clinical practice. An integrated approach to patient care with a multidisciplinary focus can help achieve the necessary shift in clinical care of patients with DKD.

Abstract
In recent years, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated beneficial renoprotective effects, which culminated in the recent approval of their use for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), following a similar path to one they had already crossed due to their cardioprotective effects, meaning that SGLT2i represent a cornerstone of heart failure therapy. In the present review, we aimed to discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms operating in CKD that are targeted with SGLT2i, either directly or indirectly. Furthermore, we presented clinical evidence of SGLT2i in CKD with respect to the presence of diabetes mellitus. Despite initial safety concerns with regard to euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis and transient decline in glomerular filtration rate, the accumulating clinical data are reassuring. In summary, although SGLT2i provide clinicians with an exciting new treatment option for patients with CKD, further research is needed to determine which subgroups of patients with CKD will benefit the most, and which the least, from this therapeutical option.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are currently the second-line pharmacotherapy in type 2 diabetes, particularly through their effectiveness in reducing glycemia, but also due to their cardioprotective and nephroprotective effects. In light of surprisingly satisfactory results from large, randomized trials on gliflozins, SGLT2 received the highest recommendation (Class IA) with the highest level of evidence (A) in the treatment algorithm for HF with reduced LVEF in recent ESC HF guidelines. This great breakthrough in the treatment of HF is due to different mechanisms of action of gliflozins that are reported to be able to change the natural course of HF by reducing the risk of both hospitalization and death. They are recommended regardless of the patient’s diabetes status. This review summarizes the up-to-date literature on their beneficial and pleiotropic impact on the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurs in the setting of prolonged liver inflammation, hepatocyte necrosis and regeneration in patients with cirrhosis. Despite the progress made in the medical management of the disorder during the past decades, the available pharmacological options remain limited, leading to poor survival rates and quality of life for patients with HCC. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2) originally emerged as drugs for the treatment of hyperglycemia; however, they soon demonstrated important extra-glycemic properties, which led to their evaluation as potential treatments for a wide range of non-metabolic disorders. Evidence from animal studies suggests that SGLT2i have the potential to modulate molecular pathways that affect hallmarks of HCC, including inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, and oxidative stress. The impressive benefits of neurohormonal modulation observed with SGLT2i in congestive heart failure set the stage for human trials in cirrhotic ascites. However, future studies need to evaluate several aspects of the benefit to risk ratio of such a therapeutic strategy, including the co-administration with antineoplastic agents and diuretics, infections, use in hospitalized individuals, renal safety and hypovolemia. In this narrative review, we discuss the putative role of SGLT2i in the treatment of patients with HCC, starting with the mechanisms that could justify a possible benefit and ending with potential clinical implications and areas for future research.

Acute SGLT-2i treatment improves cardiac efficiency during myocardial ischemia independent of Na+/H+ exchanger-1. Int J Cardiol 2022; 363:138-148. [PMID: 35753619 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2022.06.054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) demonstrate cardioprotective benefits independent of a glucose lowering effect including preservation of cardiac function during a myocardial ischemia. Sodium‑hydrogen exchanger-1 (NHE-1), has been hypothesized to contribute to the cardiac effects of SGLT2i. We characterized the beneficial effects of acute pre-ischemia exposure to SGLT2i and explored the possibility that these effects are explained by NHE-1 inhibition. METHODS AND RESULTS Swine were anesthetized and instrumented for invasive hemodynamic measurements After baseline data collection, swine received a 15-30 min intravenous infusion of vehicle (DMSO), the SGLT2i canagliflozin (~1 mg/kg), or the NHE-1 inhibitor cariporide (~0.03 mg/kg) ending immediately prior to occlusion of the left circumflex artery. Measurements were obtained at baseline, during a 60-min complete occlusion of the circumflex coronary artery, and during a 2-h reperfusion period. Blood pressure, heart rate, left anterior descending artery flow, and associated myocardial oxygen consumption were unaffected by acute pre-treatment with canagliflozin or cariporide during ischemia and reperfusion. Acute pre-ischemic treatment with canagliflozin significantly increased diastolic filling and stroke work, producing a rightward shift in the Frank-Starling relationship, and also improved cardiac work efficiency relative to untreated control hearts during ischemia. Effects of NHE-1 inhibition with cariporide were modest and dissimilar. Examination of AP-1 cells transfected with wild-type NHE-1 and iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes confirmed dose-dependent-inhibition of NHE-1 activity by cariporide, while canagliflozin had no significant effect on NHE-1 activity. CONCLUSION Acute pre-treatment with SGLT2i produces cardioprotective effects during ischemia, including improved work efficiency. These effects are not explained by NHE-1 inhibition. TRANSLATIONAL PERSPECTIVE SGLT2 inhibitors have been shown to improve cardiac outcomes in patient including reducing myocardial infarction incidence and mortality. The mechanism(s) explaining this effect are not clear. This manuscript demonstrates a protective effect from acute SGLT2i exposure, as short as 15 min, prior to experimental infarction in swine. These effects were independent of NHE1 inhibition. These observations suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors can confer cardioprotective effects on a very short time scale. It is possible that such effects provide an ongoing contribution to ischemic protection even in the setting of chronic treatment.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) continues to increase in prevalence, representing a significant burden to healthcare systems in the USA. Despite several established HF therapies, particularly for HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), rates of HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular (CV) mortality remain very high. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an important risk factor for HF, with the two conditions often occurring concurrently. Several CV outcomes trials have shown that the sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) class of antihyperglycemic drugs reduces the risk of HF-related outcomes in patients with T2D and either established CV disease or multiple CV risk factors. Subsequently, there have been large clinical studies that have investigated the effects of SGLT2is in patients with HFrEF, with or without T2D, which have shown that both dapagliflozin and empagliflozin have significant reductions in hospitalization for HF and CV mortality. These data led to US Food and Drug Administration approval of dapagliflozin and empagliflozin as a novel treatment pathway for patients with HFrEF; empagliflozin has subsequently been approved for the treatment of HF regardless of ejection fraction. A clinical practice algorithm can assist cardiologists in identifying patients who may be eligible for SGLT2i treatment as well as the appropriate timeframe for initiating therapy and the parameters for patient monitoring. Given the evidence that SGLT2is are beneficial in the management of HF, specifically HFrEF, irrespective of underlying T2D, evidence-based recommendations and greater clinician familiarity can facilitate the integration of SGLT2is into general HF therapeutic management.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the major reason of chronic kidney disease (CKD)-caused end-stage renal failure (ESRF), and leads to high mortality worldwide. At present, the treatment of DKD is mainly focused on controlling the hyperglycemia, proteinuria, and hypertension, but is insufficient on the effective delay of DKD progression. Cordyceps sinensis is a kind of wild-used precious Chinese herb. Its extracts have effects of nephroprotection, hepatoprotection, neuroprotection, and protection against ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury, as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Cordyceps sinensis can tonify the lung and the kidney. Several Chinese patent medicines produced from Cordyceps sinensis are often used to treat DKD and achieved considerable efficacy. This review summarized the clinical usage of Cordyceps sinensis, as well as its mainly biological activities including anti-hyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-oxidant, anti-fibrotic activities and regulation of apoptosis.

SGLT2 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Failure-A Concise Review. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11061470. [PMID: 35329796 PMCID: PMC8952302 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11061470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The incidence of both diabetes mellitus type 2 and heart failure is rapidly growing, and the diseases often coexist. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a new antidiabetic drug class that mediates epithelial glucose transport at the renal proximal tubules, inhibiting glucose absorption—resulting in glycosuria—and therefore improving glycemic control. Recent trials have proven that SGLT2i also improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes, including reduced cardiovascular mortality and fewer hospitalizations for heart failure. Reduced preload and afterload, improved vascular function, and changes in tissue sodium and calcium handling may also play a role. The expected paradigm shift in treatment strategies was reflected in the most recent 2021 guidelines published by the European Society of Cardiology, recommending dapagliflozin and empagliflozin as first-line treatment for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction. Moreover, the recent results of the EMPEROR-Preserved trial regarding empagliflozin give us hope that there is finally an effective treatment for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This review aims to assess the efficacy and safety of these new anti-glycemic oral agents in the management of diabetic and heart failure patients.

Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 Inhibitors Use Improves the Satisfaction With Anti-diabetic Agent Treatment: A Questionnaire-based Propensity Score-matched Study. Front Pharmacol 2022; 12:787704. [PMID: 35177981 PMCID: PMC8844021 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.787704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Specific safety issues with sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors such as infection, fractures, worsening of renal function and euglycemic ketoacidosis have been raised. Concerns about adverse events might limit the use of this drug class. The satisfaction with SGLT2 inhibitors treatment in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is unknown. Material and Methods: Patients with T2DM who visited the hospital between October 2019 and June 2020 were included in this retrospective analysis. Patients were divided into SGLT2 inhibitors used group or not. The Satisfaction with Oral Anti-Diabetic Agent Scale (SOADAS) questionnaire and self-reported AEs were obtained at 3 months of follow-up. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to adjust for confounding factors. Univariate and multivariable linear regression models were used to explore potential risk factors associated with overall satisfaction. Results: A total of 145 T2DM patients were included, with 76 SGLT2 inhibitors users and 69 non-users. Patients administered with SGLT2 inhibitors presented with increased overall satisfaction (mean [SE]: 22.8 [0.67] vs. 20.6 [0.64], p = 0.016) and overall satisfaction rate (n [%]: 40 [52.6%] vs 21 [30.4%], p = 0.007) when compared to other anti-diabetic agents. The use of SGLT2 inhibitors significantly improved satisfaction of glycemic control ability (mean [SE]:3.9 [0.12] vs. 3.5 [0.12], p = 0.027), diabetic symptom’s control ability (3.5 [0.15] vs. 3.0 [0.15], p = 0.027), glycemic control speed (3.9 [0.11] vs. 3.4 [0.12], p = 0.011), medication tolerability (3.9 [0.10] vs. 3.5 [0.12], p = 0.012), and overall satisfaction (4.0 [0.11] vs. 3.6 [0.12], p = 0.037), but it did not improve satisfaction of medication effect on bodyweight (3.8 [0.11] vs. 3.4 [0.11], p = 0.166). After adjusting confounding factors (47 patients for each group), consistent results were obtained. No significant differences of self-reported clinical AEs were observed between SGLT2 inhibitors users and non-users. Multivariable regression analyses verified that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with increased levels of satisfaction. Conclusions: The use of SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with increased levels of satisfaction in T2DM patients, but not associated with overall clinical safety. Self-reported AEs were not related to the satisfaction with the use of anti-diabetic agents.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients, either with or without diabetes, is a common, serious, and costly healthcare problem. Evidence accumulated over 20 years has associated hyperglycemia with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality, both in surgical and medical patients. Based on this documented link between hyperglycemia and poor outcomes, clinical guidelines from professional organizations recommend the treatment of hospital hyperglycemia with a therapeutic goal of maintaining blood glucose (BG) levels less than 180 mg/dL. Insulin therapy remains a mainstay of glycemic management in the inpatient setting. The use of non-insulin antidiabetic drugs in the hospital setting is limited because little data are available regarding their safety and efficacy. However, information about the use of incretin-based therapy in inpatients has increased in the past 15 years. This review aims to summarize the different treatment strategies for hyperglycemia in hospitalized noncritical patients that are supported by observational studies or clinical trials with insulin and non-insulin drugs. In addition, we propose a protocol to help with the management of this important clinical problem.

Abstract
AIM To determine the overall efficacy of high- versus low-dose sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIAL AND METHODS A literature search using MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library was performed from 1 January 2006 to 23 September 2020. Random effects models were used to calculate mean differences (MDs) and pooled relative risk (RR). Prespecified subgroup analyses for each SGLT2 inhibitor, follow-up and controls were performed. Leave-one-out sensitivity and meta-regression analyses were conducted. RESULTS A total of 51 randomized controlled trials involving 23 989 participants (weighted mean age, 58.9 years; men, 58.8%) were eligible for our meta-analysis. For glycaemic regulation ability, a significant reduction in HbA1c (MD -0.080%, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.100 to -0.060), fasting plasma glucose (MD -0.227 mmol/L, 95% CI -0.282 to -0.173) and postprandial plasma glucose (MD -0.834 mmol/L, 95% CI -1.268 to -0.400) levels was observed in the high-dose SGLT2 inhibitor group. Treatment with high-dose SGLT2 inhibitors enabled easier achievement of the target (HbA1c <7%) than low-dose SGLT2 inhibitors (RR 1.148, 95% CI 1.104 to 1.193). High-dose SGLT2 inhibitor-based treatment resulted in more efficient regulation of body weight and blood pressure (body weight: MD -0.346 kg, 95% CI -0.437 to -0.254; systolic blood pressure: MD -0.583 mmHg, 95% CI -0.903 to -0.263; diastolic blood pressure: MD -0.352 mmHg, 95% CI -0.563 to -0.142). The results were similar in sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS The overall efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors, mainly canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, was found to be dose dependent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prospective comparative studies on the effects of various antidiabetic agents on bone metabolism are limited. This study aimed to assess changes in bone mass and biochemical bone markers in postmenopausal patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS This prospective, multicenter, open-label, comparative trial included 264 patients with T2DM. Patients who had received a metformin, or sulfonylurea/metformin combination (Group 1); a thiazolidinedione combination (Group 2); a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (gemigliptin) combination (Group 3); or an sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (empagliflozin) combination (Group 4) were prospectively treated for 12 months; bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover marker (BTM) changes were evaluated. RESULTS The femoral neck BMD percentage changes were -0.79%±2.86% (Group 1), -2.50%±3.08% (Group 2), -1.05%±2.74% (Group 3), and -1.24%±2.91% (Group 4) (P<0.05). The total hip BMD percentage changes were -0.57%±1.79% (Group 1), -1.74%±1.48% (Group 2), -0.75%±1.87% (Group 3), and -1.27%±1.72% (Group 4) (P<0.05). Mean serum BTM (C-terminal type 1 collagen telopeptide and procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide) levels measured during the study period did not change over time or differ between groups. CONCLUSION Significant bone loss in the femoral neck and total hip was associated with thiazolidinedione combination regimens. However, bone loss was not significantly associated with combination regimens including gemigliptin or empagliflozin. Caution should be exercised during treatment with antidiabetic medications that adversely affect the bone in patients with diabetes at a high risk of bone loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To demonstrate a magnitude of the cardiovascular benefits, concomitantly analyzing the safety outcomes of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-I) comprehensively, as a class effect in a larger sample size combined from recent randomized control trials. METHODS We searched electronic databases using specific terms and evaluated 6 efficacy and 10 safety outcomes. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to compare two interventions. RESULTS Five studies (n = 41 267) were included, among which 23 539 received SGLT2-I. The SGLT2-I group favored reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.62-0.98; P = 0.03), cardiovascular death (CVD) or heart failure hospitalization (OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.46-0.80; P = 0.0004), rate of hospitalization for heart failure (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.44-0.72; P < 0.00001), CVD (OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.50-0.93; P = 0.01), all-cause mortality (OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.48-0.93; P = 0.02) and myocardial infarction (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.64-0.99; P = 0.04) when compared to the placebo group. Safety analysis showed higher diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) rate in SGLT2-I group (OR, 2.33; 95% CI, 1.40-3.90; P = 0.001); in contrast, major hypoglycemic events were significantly lower (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.73-0.87; P < 0.00001). AKI was significantly higher in the placebo group (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.65-0.88; P = 0.0004). There were no statistically significant effects on other outcomes. CONCLUSION In selected high-risk patients of cardiovascular disease, the SGLT2-I is a potential effective class of drugs for improving cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality without an increased risk of all other major complications except DKA on this meta-analysis.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) sometimes exhibited impaired immune function and aggravated infectious diseases. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the major complications of DM. A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed and Cochrane Library using the following keywords: diabetes mellitus, urinary tract infection, asymptomatic bacteriuria, emphysematous pyelonephritis, emphysematous cystitis, renal papillary necrosis, and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. The treatment of UTI in DM patients is not different from that in non-DM patients, and asymptomatic bacteriuria should not be screened or treated. Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a life-threatening renal infection with gas in the renal parenchyma or perirenal space, and 95% of affected patients had DM. Abdominal computed tomography is useful for diagnosis and determining treatment strategies. Medical management and percutaneous drainage are standard initial treatment, and subsequent nephrectomy for non-responders is considered. Nephrectomy, as an initial treatment, should be limited to a selected group of patients with severe conditions. In contrast, antibiotics, glycemic control, and bladder drainage are adequate treatment for most cases of emphysematous cystitis. SGLT2 inhibitors significantly increased the incidence of genital tract infection, but not that of UTI, pyelonephritis, or urosepsis. Here, we present cumulative evidence about etiology and management for complicated UTI with DM, but there was little information about racial differences and further evidence focusing on Asian population will be needed.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were developed as antidiabetic agents, but accumulating evidence has shown their beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Analyses of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial (Empagliflozin Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients) suggested that these benefits are independent of glycemic control. Several large-scale outcome trials of SGLT2i also showed cardiovascular benefits in nondiabetic patients, strengthening this perspective. Extensive animal and clinical studies have likewise shown that mechanisms other than the antihyperglycemic effect underlie the cardiovascular benefits. Recent clinical guidelines recommend the use of SGLT2i in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases because of the proven cardiovascular protective effects. Since the cardiovascular benefits are independent of glycemic control, the therapeutic spectrum of SGLT2i will likely be extended to nondiabetic patients.

Abstract
Hospitalization for major diabetes complications, including myocardial infarction, stroke, lower-extremity amputation, and end-stage kidney disease, is on the rise and represents a great health burden for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), in particular for older people. Newer glucose-lowering medications have generated some optimism on the possibility to influence the natural history of cardiorenal complications of T2D. This review summarizes work in the area of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) treatment and prevention of cardiorenal complications in patients with T2D (major adverse cardiovascular events, hospitalization for heart failure, kidney outcomes), with a particular emphasis on the effect of age, the role of primary versus secondary prevention and the possible extension of their cardiorenal benefits to the entire class of SGLT-2i.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 [SGLT2] inhibitors reduce cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with diabetes, particularly patients with established cardiovascular disease. Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis [euDKA], a complication of SGLT2 therapy, can be exacerbated by a low carbohydrate diet. CASE REPORT A 61-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes, taking an SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin 10 mg orally daily, presented to the emergency room with a 2-day history of nausea and chest pain. A week prior to presentation, he had started a ketogenic diet. He was initially admitted with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. On initial assessment in the emergency room, his cardiac enzymes were normal and there were no ischemic changes in his ECG. As there was concern for unstable angina, he underwent cardiac catheterization, which showed a known total occlusion with collaterals and arteries with a non-obstructive disease without any evidence of acute plaque rupture. His baseline laboratory assessments revealed an elevated anion gap of 17, increased urinary and plasma ketones, and metabolic acidosis. His plasma glucose level was 84 mg/dL. The diagnosis of euDKA was made, and treatment with intravenous fluids and insulin was initiated. His chest pain and nausea subsequently resolved. CONCLUSION We present a case of euDKA triggered by a ketogenic diet while on SGLT2 inhibitor therapy presenting as chest pain. The recognition of euDKA is important in the context of increased SGLT2 use for the management of cardiovascular risk for patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetes is the most frequent cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to nearly half of all cases of kidney failure requiring replacement therapy. The principal cause of death among patients with diabetes and CKD is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors were developed to lower blood glucose levels by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule. In clinical trials designed to demonstrate the CVD safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), consistent reductions in risks for secondary kidney disease end points (albuminuria and a composite of serum creatinine doubling or 40% estimated glomerular filtration rate decline, kidney failure, or death), along with reductions in CVD events, were observed. In patients with CKD, the kidney and CVD benefits of canagliflozin were established by the CREDENCE (Canagliflozin and Renal Events in Diabetes With Established Nephropathy Clinical Evaluation) trial in patients with T2DM, urinary albumin-creatinine ratio >300 mg/g, and estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 To clarify and support the role of SGLT2 inhibitors for treatment of T2DM and CKD, the National Kidney Foundation convened a scientific workshop with an international panel of more than 80 experts. They discussed the current state of knowledge and unanswered questions in order to propose therapeutic approaches and delineate future research. SGLT2 inhibitors improve glomerular hemodynamic function and are thought to ameliorate other local and systemic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of CKD and CVD. SGLT2 inhibitors should be used when possible by people with T2DM to reduce risks for CKD and CVD in alignment with the clinical trial entry criteria. Important risks of SGLT2 inhibitors include euglycemic ketoacidosis, genital mycotic infections, and volume depletion. Careful consideration should be given to the balance of benefits and harms of SGLT2 inhibitors and risk mitigation strategies. Effective implementation strategies are needed to achieve widespread use of these life-saving medications.

Abstract
More than 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, with 90–95% having type 2 diabetes (T2D). Glycemic control of T2D has demonstrated reductions in microvascular complications but recent data have demonstrated improvements in macrovascular outcomes with sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Ertugliflozin is the most recent SGLT2 inhibitor approved in the USA and Europe for the treatment of T2D. This narrative review aims to present and discuss the efficacy, safety, cardiovascular (CV), and renal outcomes related to the use of ertugliflozin in T2D. Ertugliflozin has been evaluated in eight clinical trials (n=5248) with a focus on glycemic control. These trials have demonstrated improvement in glycosylated hemoglobin (0.6–1%), fasting plasma glucose (30–50 mg/dL), 2-hour postprandial glucose (60–70 mg/dL), decreased body weight (2–3 kg), and lowering of blood pressure (3–5 mmHg) in patients with T2D when ertugliflozin is used as monotherapy or in addition to metformin, sitagliptin, insulin, and/or sulfonylureas. The findings from the VERTIS-CV trial (n=8246) were recently published and demonstrated that ertugliflozin use in patients with T2D and atherosclerotic CV disease is safe but did not demonstrate superiority in the lowering of major CV events compared to placebo. Other SGLT2 inhibitors, such as empagliflozin and canagliflozin, have demonstrated this benefit. The VERTIS-CV trial demonstrated that the use of ertugliflozin led to a decrease in the number of hospitalizations for heart failure and this lends further support that this benefit is a class effect of SGLT2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) occurs in approximately 20-40% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients with DKD have a higher risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers and antihyperglycemic drugs form the mainstay of DKD management and aim to restrict progression to more severe stages of DKD. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) control hyperglycemia by blocking renal glucose reabsorption in addition to preventing inflammation, thereby improving endothelial function and reducing oxidative stress; consequently, this class of prescription medicines is emerging as an important addition to the therapeutic armamentarium. The EMPA-REG OUTCOME, DECLARE TIMI 58, and CANVAS trials demonstrated the renoprotective effects of SGLT2i, such as restricting decline in glomerular filtration rate, in the progression of albuminuria, and in death due to renal causes. The renoprotection provided by SGLT2i was further confirmed in the CREDENCE study, which showed a 30% reduction in progression of chronic kidney disease, and in the DELIGHT study, which demonstrated a reduction in albuminuria with dapagliflozin compared with placebo (- 21.0%, confidence interval [CI] - 34.1 to - 5.2, p = 0.011). Furthermore, a meta-analysis demonstrated a reduced risk of dialysis, transplantation, or death due to kidney disease (relative risk 0.67; 95% CI 0.52-0.86; p = 0.0019) and a 45% risk reduction in worsening of renal function, end-stage renal disease, or renal death (hazard ratio 0.55, CI 0.48-0.64, p < 0.0001) with SGLT2i, irrespective of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate. Thus, there is emerging evidence that SGLT2i may be used to curb the mortality and improve the quality of life in patients with DKD. However, clinicians need to effectively select candidates for SGLT2i therapy. In this consensus statement, we have qualitatively synthesized evidence demonstrating the renal effects of SGLT2i and proposed recommendations for optimal use of SGLT2i to effectively manage and delay progression of DKD.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and heart failure (HF) are comorbid conditions associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the availability of novel and effective therapeutic options and intensive glycaemic control strategies, mortality and hospitalisation rates continue to remain high and the incidence of HF persists. In this review, we described the impact of currently available glucose-lowering therapies in DM with a focus on HF clinical outcomes. Non-conventional modes of management and alternative pathophysiological mechanisms with the potential for therapeutic targeting are also discussed.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of this work are to assess the clinical adverse events (AEs) of high-dose vs low-dose sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from January 1, 2006 to March 10, 2020, for identifying eligible randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that reported AEs by high-dose and low-dose SGLT2 inhibitors in T2DM patients. Random-effects models was used to obtain summary relative risks (RRs) with associated 95% CIs. Prespecified subgroup analyses according to individual SGLT2 inhibitors and follow-up duration, and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis were conducted. RESULTS A total of 51 RCTs involving 24 371 patients (12 208 received high-dose and 12 163 received low-dose SGLT2 inhibitors) were included. Overall, the heterogeneity among included studies was relatively low (I2 < 50% for each outcome). No significant differences between high-dose and low-dose SGLT2 inhibitors were observed for overall safety (including any AEs, serious AEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, and death) and specified safety (including infections and infestations, musculoskeletal disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, osmotic diuresis-related AEs, volume-related AEs, renal-related AEs, and metabolism and nutrition), except for a mild increase in risk for AEs related to study drugs (RR: 1.08; 95% CI, 1.01-1.16) that mainly derived from canagliflozin (RR: 1.17; 95% CI, 1.05-1.30). Subgroup analyses were consistent with the primary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS This study provided substantial evidence that AEs of SGLT2 inhibitors were not dose related.

Abstract
Fasting from dawn to sunset, during the holy month of Ramadan, constitutes one of the five main pillars in Islam and is observed by the majority of Muslims. Owing to important physiological changes, Ramadan fasting holds a crucial place in the context of diabetes management. Approximately one-fifth of the world's Muslim population resides in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region. To discuss the challenges and management of diabetes during Ramadan fasting in the MEA region, a panel of 12 experts in the field of diabetes from across the MEA region attended two expert committee meetings held in Dubai. The key point of discussion was the safety and efficacy of the use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) during Ramadan, based on outcomes of the recent clinical trials with SGLT2i. This is the first consensus recommendation on the management of diabetes with SGLT2i across the MEA region during Ramadan. The document summarizes expert views and opinions on the current management of diabetes with SGLT2i during Ramadan and aims to enhance the current knowledge and understanding on the issue of diabetes management during Ramadan. This will aid the physicians of the MEA region with appropriate decision-making for their patients during Ramadan.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a major advance in the fields of diabetology, nephrology, and cardiology. The cardiovascular and renal benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors are likely largely independent of their glycaemic effects, and this understanding is central to the use of these agents in the high-risk population of people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. There are a number of potential safety issues associated with the use of SGLT2 inhibitors. These include the rare but serious risks of diabetic ketoacidosis and necrotising fasciitis of the perineum. The data regarding a possibly increased risk of lower limb amputation and fracture with SGLT2 inhibitor therapy are conflicting. This article aims to explore the potential safety issues associated with the use of SGLT2 inhibitors, with a particular focus on the safety of these drugs in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. We discuss strategies that clinicians can implement to minimise the risk of adverse effects including diabetic ketoacidosis and volume depletion. Risk mitigation strategies with respect to SGLT2 inhibitor-associated diabetic ketoacidosis are of particular importance during the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Abstract
The management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is becoming increasingly complex. Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are the newest antidiabetic agents for T2DM. By targeting the kidney, they have a unique mechanism of action, which results in enhanced glucosuria, osmotic diuresis and natriuresis, thereby improving glucose control with a limited risk of hypoglycaemia and exerting additional positive effects such as weight loss and the lowering of blood pressure. Several outcome studies with canagliflozin, dapagliflozin or empagliflozin reported a statistically significant reduction in major cardiovascular events, hospitalization for heart failure and progression to advanced renal disease in patients with T2DM who have established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, several cardiovascular risk factors, albuminuric mild to moderate chronic kidney disease or heart failure. Current guidelines proposed a new paradigm in the management of T2DM, with a preferential place for SGLT2is, after metformin, in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure and progressive kidney disease. Ongoing trials might extend the therapeutic potential of SGLT2is in patients with, but also without, T2DM. This Review provides an update of the current knowledge on SGLT2is, moving from their use as glucose-lowering medications to their new positioning as cardiovascular and renal protective agents.

Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) were initially approved to improve glycemic control in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Clinical trials have also demonstrated beneficial effects with regards to cardiovascular and renal parameters. Beyond improving glycemic control, these therapies promote weight loss and lower blood pressure when used individually, and in an additive manner when used together. Accordingly, taking advantage of complementary mechanisms of action with the combined use of these two classes of agents to further improve cardiorenal outcomes is conceptually appealing, but has yet to be explored in detail in clinical trials. In this review, we discuss proposed mechanisms for renal protection, clinical benefits, and adverse events associated with the individual and combined use of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1RA. The management of type 2 diabetes has significantly changed over the last few years, moving away from solely glycemic control towards the concurrent management of associated comorbidities in a patient population at significant risk of cardiovascular disease and progression of chronic kidney disease. It is from this perspective that we seek to outline the rationale for the sequential and/or combined use of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1RA in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
A recent acute coronary syndrome provides an opportunity to optimise secondary prevention strategies to reduce the risk of future cardiovascular events. This review provides an updated synopsis of current evidence-based approaches. New clinical trial data on the use of antiplatelet and anticoagulants allow choices of the selection and duration of treatment. Lipid lowering after an acute coronary syndrome is now enhanced, with proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 inhibitors providing added benefit on top of statin and ezetimibe treatment in high-risk patients. In addition, a recent trial of icosapent ethyl, a highly purified ethyl ester of eicosapentaenoic acid, addresses residual risk in patients with elevated triglycerides already treated with statins. The use of both sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in patients with type 2 diabetes reduces cardiovascular events independently of glucose lowering.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular risk in these patients should be considered as a continuum, and comprehensive treatment strategies should aim to target multiple disease risk factors. Large-scale clinical trials of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown an impact on cardiovascular outcomes, including heart failure hospitalization and cardiovascular death, which appears to be independent of their glucose-lowering efficacy. Reductions in major cardiovascular events appear to be greatest in patients with established CVD, particularly those with prior myocardial infarction, but are independent of heart failure or renal risk. Most large-scale trials of SGLT2 inhibitors predominantly include patients with T2D with pre-existing CVD and high cardiovascular risk at baseline, limiting their applicability to patients typically observed in clinical practice. Real-world evidence from observational studies suggests that there might also be beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on heart failure hospitalization and all-cause mortality in various cohorts of lower risk patients. The most common adverse events reported in clinical and observational studies are genital infections; however, the overall risk of these events appears to be low and easily managed. Similar safety profiles have been reported for elderly and younger patients. There is still some debate regarding the safety of canagliflozin in patients at high risk of fracture and amputation. Outstanding questions include specific patterns of cardiovascular protection according to baseline risk.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate comprehensively the safety of dapagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), with emphasis placed on potential safety concerns related to the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor class. METHODS In the Dapagliflozin Effect on Cardiovascular Events - Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 58 (DECLARE-TIMI 58) study, 17 160 patients with T2DM were randomized to dapagliflozin or placebo and followed for a median of 4.2 years. Safety was evaluated in 17 143 patients receiving at least one dose of study drug. RESULTS Acute kidney injury occurred less frequently with dapagliflozin, and adverse events suggestive of volume depletion were balanced between treatment groups, both irrespective of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, blood pressure, diuretic or loop diuretic use (interaction P values >0.05). Fractures and malignancies were balanced between the groups, irrespective of sex, diabetes duration or smoking (interaction P values >0.05) and fewer cases of bladder cancer occurred in the dapagliflozin versus the placebo group. Diabetic ketoacidosis was very rare, but more frequent with dapagliflozin versus placebo (27 vs. 12 patients with events; P = 0.02), yet signs, symptoms and contributing factors were similar in the two groups. Major hypoglycaemia occurred less frequently with dapagliflozin versus placebo, regardless of baseline use of either insulin or sulphonylureas (interaction P values >0.05). There were more adverse events of genital infections leading to discontinuation of study drug in the dapagliflozin versus the placebo group, but serious genital infections were few and balanced between treatment groups. Urinary tract infections, acute pyelonephritis and urosepsis were also balanced between treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS Dapagliflozin was well tolerated. The long duration and large number of patient-years in DECLARE-TIMI 58 comprehensively addressed previous safety questions, confirming the robust safety profile of dapagliflozin.

Abstract
A paradigm change in the treatment of type 2 diabetes has recently emerged due to the introduction of new oral antidiabetic agents. Cardiovascular endpoint studies confirmed the safety of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and a cardiovascular protective effect for glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. Furthermore, SGLT‑2 inhibitors reduce the risk for heart failure and have a renoprotective effect. These studies led to changes in clinical recommendations and guidelines. In patients with high or very high cardiorenal risk, SGLT‑2 inhibitors or GLP‑1 receptor agonists are recommended for risk protection independent of HbA1c values, with existing or high risk for chronic heart failure SGLT‑2 inhibitors are the preferred choice. Therefore, the choice of antidiabetic treatment strategy is no longer determined by the level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) alone but particularly by the cardiorenal risk of the individual patient.

Abstract
AIMS Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are associated with increased risk of genital infections. We aimed to assess incidence and risk factors associated with genital infections among female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with SGLT2 inhibitors. METHODS We retrieved data on adult female patients with T2DM who initiated treatment with empagliflozin or dapagliflozin during March 2015-March 2018, in a large Israeli health maintenance organization (HMO). Genital infections were identified by diagnosis codes or relevant dispensed prescriptions. The proportion of days covered with SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i-PDC) was measured. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors. RESULTS Of 1542/6153 patients, 25.1% had events of genital infections during a mean of 2.3 years. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 4.25 for the highest versus lowest SGLT2i-PDC group. Younger age, history of genital infection, and estrogen therapy were associated with increased risk of genital infections. Chronic Kidney Disease and DPP4 inhibitor therapy at baseline were associated with lower risk of genital infections. CONCLUSIONS Potential risk factors for genital infections were identified in women initiating SGLT2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a new type of glucose-lowering drug that can reduce blood glucose by inhibiting its reabsorption in proximal tubules and by promoting urinary glucose excretion. SGLT2i are widely used in the clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In recent studies, SGLT2i were found to not only reduce blood glucose but also protect the heart and kidney, which can significantly reduce cardiovascular events, delay the progression of renal failure, greatly improve the quality of life of patients, and reduce medical expenses for families and society. As adverse cardiac and renal events are the most common and serious complications of T2DM, it is very important to understand the cardio- and renoprotective mechanisms of SGLT2i. This article reviews the historical development, pharmacological mechanism, heart and kidney protection and safety of SGLT2i. The information presented provides a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications and for the development of new glucose-lowering drugs.

Abstract
Purpose of the review: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are recommended for eligible patients with type 2 diabetes for the secondary prevention of adverse cardiovascular and kidney disease outcomes. Patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease, a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and/or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction should be assessed for the use of these therapies. Sources of information: The sources include published clinical trials with SGLT2is, with a focus on cardiovascular safety studies and kidney protection trials. Methods: Information was gathered via a review of relevant literature and clinical practice guidelines, incorporated with real-life clinical experience. Key findings: Clinicians prescribing these agents must be familiar with the benefits of SGLT2is on cardiovascular and renal endpoints, and with adverse effects of SGLT2is, including mycotic genital infections and diabetic ketoacidosis. Primary care physicians and specialists should know how to adjust antihypertensive, antiglycemic, and diuretic agents. With the results of completed cardiovascular outcome trials and the Canagliflozin and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes and Nephropathy trial, nephrologists specifically have a unique opportunity to impact the safe, effective, and equitable implementation of SGLT2is into clinical practice. Limitations: Further work is needed in specific patient subgroups, including patients with chronic kidney disease stages IV and V, patients with kidney disease but lower levels of albuminuria, and in patients without diabetes.

Abstract
Over the past 5 years, sodium-glucose cotransport 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been increasingly regarded as glycaemic agents with cardiovascular (CV) and renal protective effects. The CV benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors have been well established in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and a range of CV comorbidities at baseline. Subsequently, the renal benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors were established in the CREDENCE trial, a dedicated renal outcome trial where canagliflozin reduced the primary composite renal outcome by 30%. In light of these trials, clinical practice guidelines have rapidly evolved, recommending the use of SGLT2 inhibitors as renal and cardioprotective agents in appropriate patient populations. Accordingly, it is important to have an in-depth understanding of the evidence underlying the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2D based on published clinical trials and real-world evidence (RWE) studies, as well as information related to potential safety concerns. To accomplish this, we reviewed the evidence for renal protection and safety with SGLT2 inhibitors in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME, CANVAS Program and DECLARE-TIMI 58 CV safety trials, and in the growing body of evidence emerging from real-world studies. This body of work has shown that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce the risk of surrogate renal endpoints such as albuminuria and mitigate the risk of hard renal endpoints including doubling of serum creatinine and end-stage kidney disease in patients with T2D.
