Abstract
BACKGROUND SGLT-2 inhibitors, prescribed for type 2 diabetes, have a heightened risk of amputation. The FDA issued a warning in May 2017, leading to the inclusion of a cautionary label. Vigilance is essential for patients and healthcare providers to promptly identify and address potential limb complications associated with the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors. METHOD A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted, covering the period from inception to May 2024. This systematic literature review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias (ROB) tool. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were predefined, and data extraction was performed to summarize the findings. RESULT A total of 12 randomized control trial (RCT) studies were included in the present systematic review. 37,657 (54.89%) participants were randomly assigned to receive the different interventions of SGLT-2 inhibitor, whereas 30,959 (45.11%) received a placebo. Overall, 618 events were reported in the treatment group, whereas 396 events were reported in the placebo group. CONCLUSION In conclusion, patients treated with SGLT-2 inhibitors did not have any significant difference in amputation occurrences compared to placebo across various studies. However, canagliflozin usage has led to higher amputation events in certain trials.

Association between sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and macular degeneration in patients with diabetes: a nationwide population-based study in Taiwan. Acta Diabetol 2024:10.1007/s00592-024-02303-3.

Abstract
AIMS Evidence showed that SGLT2 inhibitors have greater protective effects against retinal diseases compared to other hypoglycemic agents. Thus, we explore the association between SGLT2 inhibitor usage and macular degeneration (MD) in Taiwanese patients with diabetes. METHODS The National Health Insurance (NHI) program's claim data are released as the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). This database covers more than 99% of the residents in Taiwan. We included data on patients who were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (ICD-9-CM: 250, exclude 250.1x; ICD-10-CM: E11), with an age at diagnosis of over 20 years as our study population. Patients who received (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor) SGLT2i (ATC code: A10BK) over 90 days in 2016-2019 were defined as the SGLT2i cohort. Conversely, patients who did never received SGLT2i were defined as the non-SGLT2i cohort. The exclusion criteria were having MD before the index date, receiving SGLT2i within 1-89 days, and missing data on sex, age, or days of SGLT2i usage. Two cohorts were matched by 1:1 propensity score matching, which was based on age, sex, payroll bracket grade, urbanization, comorbidities, and medications. RESULTS Compared to non-SGLT2i cohort, patients who received SGLT2i had a significantly lower risk of MD (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.70, 95%CI = 0.66-0.75). CONCLUSIONS We found that SGLT2is has a strong protective effect against MD in patients with diabetes. SGLT2is may have benefits beyond glycemic control in patients with DR. However, additional clinical and experimental studies are required.

The effect of sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors on stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes: A meta-analysis. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2024; 33:107730. [PMID: 38679214 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide an update on the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT2 inhibitors versus placebo or other therapies in patients with T2D and reporting stroke endpoint. We computed the risk ratios (RRs) to binary endpoints, with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 71 RCTs and 105,914 patients were included, of whom 62,488 (59 %) were randomized to the SGLT2 inhibitors group. The follow-up ranged from 12 weeks to 4.2 years. There were no significant differences between groups in all types of stroke (RR 0.96; 95 % CI 0.89-1.04), ischemic stroke (RR 0.89; 95 % CI 0.76-1.04), and transient ischemic attack (RR 0.96; 95 % CI 0.79-1.16). Patients on SGLT2 inhibitors experienced lower rates of hemorrhagic stroke (RR 0.62; 95 % CI 0.39-0.98). In the subgroup analysis of the type of drug, sotagliflozin significantly reduced all types of stroke (RR 0.74; 95 % CI 0.56-0.97). CONCLUSION In this meta-analysis of 71 RCTs comprising 105,914 patients with T2D, SGLT2 inhibitors were not associated with a reduced risk of stroke and transient ischemic attack compared to placebo or other therapies; however, there was a trend toward reduced risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Among all SGLT2 inhibitors, sotagliflozin significantly reduced the risk of stroke.

Tofogliflozin Delays Portal Hypertension and Hepatic Fibrosis by Inhibiting Sinusoidal Capillarization in Cirrhotic Rats. Cells 2024; 13:538.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver cirrhosis leads to portal hypertension (PH) with capillarization of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), although drug treatment options for PH are currently limited. Sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors, which are antidiabetic agents, have been shown to improve endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to elucidate the effect of tofogliflozin on PH and liver fibrosis in a rat cirrhosis model. METHODS Male-F344/NSlc rats repeatedly received carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intraperitoneally to induce PH and liver cirrhosis alongside tofogliflozin (10 or 20 mg/kg). Portal hemodynamics and hepatic phenotypes were assessed after 14 weeks. An in vitro study investigated the effects of tofogliflozin on the crosstalk between LSEC and activated hepatic stellate cells (Ac-HSC), which are relevant to PH development. RESULTS Tofogliflozin prevented PH with attenuated intrahepatic vasoconstriction, sinusoidal capillarization, and remodeling independent of glycemic status in CCl4-treated rats. Hepatic macrophage infiltration, proinflammatory response, and fibrogenesis were suppressed by treatment with tofogliflozin. In vitro assays showed that tofogliflozin suppressed Ac-HSC-stimulated capillarization and vasoconstriction in LSECs by enhancing the antioxidant capacity, as well as inhibited the capilliarized LSEC-stimulated contractive, profibrogenic, and proliferative activities of Ac-HSCs. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides strong support for tofogliflozin in the prevention of liver cirrhosis-related PH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the widespread use of classical cholesterol-lowering drugs to mitigate the adverse impacts of dyslipidaemia on atherosclerosis, many patients still face a substantial residual risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). This risk is partially attributed to non-traditional pathophysiological pathways. Latest evidence suggests that sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are beneficial for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or established CVD by reducing morbidity and mortality. However, the underlying mechanisms of this benefit have not been clearly elucidated. It has been hypothesized that one possible mechanism could be the attenuation of subclinical atherosclerosis (SA) progression. AIM The objective of this narrative review is to examine the present evidence concerning the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on markers of SA. RESULTS The current evidence on the efficacy of SGLT2 on SA, endothelial function and arterial stiffness remains controversial. Findings from observational and randomized studies are quite heterogeneous; however, they converge that the antiatherosclerotic activity of SGLT2 inhibitors is not strong enough to be widely used for prevention of atherosclerosis progression in patients with or without T2DM. CONCLUSIONS Further research is needed to investigate the underlying mechanisms and the possible beneficial impact of SGLT2i on primary and secondary CVD prevention through attenuation of premature atherosclerosis progression.

Abstract
With rapid development of liver transplantation technology, the demand for transplants have reached beyond the supply of organs, and thus development of effective strategies to reduce cold ischemia injury in fatty liver is important. Here, we explored the potential effect of SGLT-2 inhibitor in cold ischemia injury, fatty livers from 2 weeks methionine and choline deficient diet (MCD) rats were administered. After one week of intragastric administration of Sodium-dependent glucose transporters (SGLT-2) inhibitor empagliflozin (EMPA) or NaCI, liver were stored for 24 h. The results showed that EMPA could significantly reduce the cold ischemic injury in the mitochondria of fatty liver. To explore the mechanism, signal transducers and activators of transcription 3(STAT3) inhibitor AG490 group was used in a similar manner. We detected the changes in p-signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (P-STAT3), alcohol-dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) and degree of apoptosis in three distinct groups. The results suggested that the protein expression of P-STAT3 and ALDH2 was higher in the EMPA group than in other two groups, whereas extent of apoptosis in the EMPA group was lower than other two groups. The data suggested that SGLT2 inhibitors could alleviate cold ischemia damage of mitochondria in fatty liver, which may be related to the inhibition of apoptosis and the activation of P-STAT3 and ALDH2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Nephrolithiasis is a common renal disease with no effective medication. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, an anti-diabetic agent, have diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties and could prevent nephrolithiasis. Here, we investigated the potential of SGLT2 inhibition against nephrolithiasis using large-scale epidemiological data, animal models, and cell culture experiments. METHODS This study included the data of diabetic patients (n = 1,538,198) available in the Japanese administrative database and divided them according to SGLT2 inhibitor prescription status. For animal experiments, renal calcium oxalate stones were induced by ethylene glycol in Sprague-Dawley rats, and phlorizin, an SGLT1/2 inhibitor, was used for the treatment. The effects of SGLT2-specific inhibition for renal stone formation were assessed in SGLT2-deficient mice and a human proximal tubular cell line, HK-2. RESULTS Nephrolithiasis prevalence in diabetic men was significantly lower in the SGLT2 inhibitor prescription group than in the non-SGLT2 inhibitor prescription group. Phlorizin attenuated renal stone formation and downregulated the kidney injury molecule 1 (Kim1) and osteopontin (Opn) expression in rats, with unchanged water intake and urine volume. It suppressed inflammation and macrophage marker expression, suggesting the role of the SGLT2 inhibitor in reducing inflammation. SGLT2-deficient mice were resistant to glyoxylic acid-induced calcium oxalate stone formation with reduced Opn expression and renal damages. High glucose-induced upregulation of OPN and CD44 and cell surface adhesion of calcium oxalate reduced upon SGLT2-silencing in HK-2 cells. CONCLUSION Overall, our findings identified that SGLT2 inhibition prevents renal stone formation and may be a promising therapeutic approach against nephrolithiasis.

Abstract
Imeglimin is the first drug in a new class of tetrahydrotriazine-containing oral hypoglycemic agents called «glimines». Its mechanism of action is aimed at achieving a double effect, firstly, to improve the function of beta cells of the pancreas, and secondly, to enhance the action of insulin in key tissues, including the liver and skeletal muscles. At the cellular level, imeglimin modulates mitochondrial function, which leads to an improvement in cellular energy metabolism, as well as to the protection of cells from death in conditions of excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species. It is important to note that the mechanism of action of imeglimin differs from existing drugs used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Like glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, imeglimin enhances insulin secretion in an exclusively glucose-dependent manner, but their mechanism of action at the cellular level diverges. Sulfonylureas and glinides function by closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels to release insulin, which is also different from imeglimin. Compared with metformin, the effect of imeglimine is also significantly different. Other major classes of oral antihypertensive agents, such as sodium-glucose transporter-2 inhibitors, thiazolidinediones and α glucosidase inhibitors mediate their action through mechanisms that do not overlap with imeglimine. Given such differences in the mechanisms of action, imeglimin can be used as part of combination therapy, for example with sitagliptin and metformin. The imeglimine molecule is well absorbed (Tmax-4), and the half-life is 5-6 hours, is largely excreted through the kidneys, and also has no clinically significant interactions with either metformin or sitagliptin.

Abstract
To explore the effect and magnitude of effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on haematocrit and haemoglobin and the related cardiorenal benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), PubMed, Web of Science, CENTRAL and EMBASE were searched to identify eligible trials. Weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model. Seventy-eight studies were included in the meta-analysis. SGLT2 inhibitors significantly increased haematocrit and haemoglobin levels compared with control (total WMD 2.27% [95% CI 2.08, 2.47] and 6.20 g/L [95% CI 5.68, 6.73], respectively). Except for dapagliflozin (p = 0.000), no notable dose-dependent relationship was revealed for other SGLT2 inhibitors. The effect could be sustained or even slightly increased with long-term therapy (coef. =0.009, 95% CI [0.005, 0.013], p = 0.000). In subgroup analyses, haematocrit elevation increased with higher body mass index (BMI). A greater haematocrit elevation could be observed in white patients or when compared with active controls. In conclusion, SGLT2 inhibitors increased haematocrit and haemoglobin levels in T2DM patients. Changes in haematocrit and haemoglobin seem to be surrogate markers of improvement in renal metabolic stress, and important mediators involved in cardiorenal protection.

Abstract
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of medication with broad cardiovascular benefits in those with type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure. These include reductions in major adverse cardiac events and cardiovascular death. The mechanisms that underlie their benefits in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are not well understood, but they extend beyond glucose lowering. This narrative review summarises the ASCVD benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors seen in large human outcome trials, as well as the mechanisms of action explored in rodent and small human studies. Potential pathways include favourable alterations in lipid metabolism, inflammation, and endothelial function. These all require further investigation in large human clinical trials with mechanistic endpoints, to further elucidate the disease modifying benefits of this drug class and those who will benefit most from it.

Abstract
Depression is an overwhelming health concern, and many patients fail to optimally respond to available standard therapies. Neuroplasticity and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity are the cornerstones of a well-functioning central nervous system, but they are vulnerable to an overly active NLRP3 inflammasome pathway that can also indirectly trigger the release of ET-1 and contribute to the ET system disturbance, which further damages stress resilience mechanisms. Here, the promising yet unexplored antidepressant potential of dapagliflozin (Dapa), a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor, was investigated by assessing its role in the modulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and ETBR signal transduction, and their impact on neuroplasticity and BBB integrity in an animal model of depression. Dapa (1 mg/kg/day; p.o.) with and without BQ-788 (1 mg/kg/day; i.p.), a specific ETBR blocker, were administered to adolescent male Wistar rats exposed to a 5-week chronic unpredictable stress protocol. The depressive animals demonstrated marked activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway (NF-κB/NLRP3/caspase-1/IL/TNF-α), which was associated with both peripheral and central inflammatory responses. The ET system was disrupted, with noticeable reduction in miR-125a-5p and ETBR gene expression. Cortical ZO-1 expression was downregulated under the influence of NLRP3/TNF-α/miR-501-3p signaling, along with a prominent reduction in hippocampal BDNF and synapsin-1. With ETBR up-regulation being a cornerstone outcome, Dapa administration efficiently created an overall state of resilience, improved histopathological and behavioral variables, and preserved BBB function. These observations were further verified by the results obtained with BQ-788 co-administration. Thus, Dapa may exert its antidepressant action by reinforcing BBB integrity and promoting neuroplasticity through manipulation of the NLRP3/ET-1/ETBR/BDNF/ZO-1 axis, with a significant role for ETBR signaling. Graphical illustration for the proposed mechanisms of the anti-depressant potential of Dapa. Dapa suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation and assembly with subsequent inhibition of pro-inflammatory ILs. This results in attenuation of neuro-inflammation, BBB disruption, glial cell activation, TNF-α and ET-1 release, and the enhanced production of neurotrophins. The role of ETBR signaling was emphasized; Dapa possibly augmented ETBR expression, which is thought to boost neurotrophins production. The ETBR blocker, BQ-788, suppressed most of the positive outcomes of Dapa. Finally, miR-125a-5p and miR-501-3p that played major roles in these pathological pathways were modulated by Dapa. It is not yet clear whether Dapa has a direct or rather indirect effect on their expression. BBB, blood-brain barrier; Dapa, dapagliflozin; ET-1, endothelin-1; ETBR, endothelin B receptor; IL, interleukin; NF-κB, nuclear factor kappa B; NLRP3, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing protein 3; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α.

Abstract
Introduction: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduce blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), the risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HF) and the incidence of serious adverse kidney function events (chronic kidney disease, CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Ertugliflozin is the last SGLT2i approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA and European Medical Agency (EMA) in Europe for the treatment of T2DM alone or in combination with other drugs.Areas covered: The authors critically discuss in this drug evaluation the safety and efficacy of the ertugliflozin + metformin combination in patients with T2DM without complications, those with CKD, or those with heart failure (HF). Furthermore, the authors discuss the results of the VERTIS CV trial (MK-8835-004), the trials NCT01986881 and NCT01986855 and other smaller studies.Expert opinion: The ertugliflozin + metformin combination is safe and effective in patients with T2DM with renal impairment, HF of any kind, or those without diabetic complications. These have practical implications that will help diabetologists, cardiologists, internists, nephrologists and general practitioners in selecting the proper combination of SGLT2i on top of metformin, if needed.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Control of blood glucose and blood pressure (BP) reduces the risk of developing this complication, but once diabetic nephropathy is established, it is then only possible to slow its progression. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are a novel class of oral hypoglycemic agents that increase urinary glucose excretion by suppressing glucose reabsorption at the renal proximal tubule. SGLT2is lower glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia, induce weight loss and improve various metabolic parameters including BP, lipid profile, albuminuria and uric acid. Several clinical trials have shown that SGLT2is (empagliflozin, dapagliflozin canagliflozin, and ertugliflozin) improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Effects of SGLT2is on the kidney can be explained by multiple pathways. SGLT2is may improve renal oxygenation and intra-renal inflammation thereby slowing the progression of kidney function decline. Additionally, SGLT2is are associated with a reduction in glomerular hyperfiltration, an effect which is mediated by the increase in natriuresis, the re-activation of tubule-glomerular feedback and independent of glycemic control. In this review, we will focus on renal results of major cardiovascular and renal outcome trials and we will describe direct and indirect mechanisms through which SGLT2is confer renal protection.

Abstract
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is an endocrine disrupting compound and persistent organic pollutant that has been associated with diabetes in several epidemiological studies. Oleuropein, a major phenolic compound in olive fruit, is a superior antioxidant and radical scavenger. This study aimed to examine the effects of oleuropein against TCDD-induced stress response in a pancreatic beta cell line, INS-1 cells. Cells were pre-incubated with various concentrations of oleuropein and then stimulated with TCDD (10 nM) for 48 hrs. When treated with TCDD, INS-1 cells produced robust amounts of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) compared to the untreated control, and this increase was inhibited by oleuropein treatment. TCDD increased Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2β) level, but had no effect on Group 10 secretory phospholipase A2 (PLA2G10) level, while oleuropein deceased the levels of iPLA2β and PLA2G10 in the presence of TCDD. Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) was significantly increased by TCDD treatment and attenuated with oleuropein pretreatment. Oleuropein decreased TCDD-mediated production of JNK, TNF-α, and ROS. In addition, oleuropein increased Akt and GLUT2 levels suppressed by TCDD in INS-1 cells. Thus, the results suggest that oleuropein prevents pancreatic beta cell impairment by TCDD.

Abstract
Imeglimin is an investigational first-in-class novel oral agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Several pivotal phase III trials have been completed with evidence of statistically significant glucose lowering and a generally favourable safety and tolerability profile, including the lack of severe hypoglycaemia. Imeglimin's mechanism of action involves dual effects: (a) amplification of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and preservation of β-cell mass; and (b) enhanced insulin action, including the potential for inhibition of hepatic glucose output and improvement in insulin signalling in both liver and skeletal muscle. At a cellular and molecular level, Imeglimin's underlying mechanism may involve correction of mitochondrial dysfunction, a common underlying element of T2D pathogenesis. It has been observed to rebalance respiratory chain activity (partial inhibition of Complex I and correction of deficient Complex III activity), resulting in reduced reactive oxygen species formation (decreasing oxidative stress) and prevention of mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening (implicated in preventing cell death). In islets derived from diseased rodents with T2D, Imeglimin also enhances glucose-stimulated ATP generation and induces the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ ) via the 'salvage pathway'. In addition to playing a key role as a mitochondrial co-factor, NAD+ metabolites may contribute to the increase in GSIS (via enhanced Ca++ mobilization). Imeglimin has also been shown to preserve β-cell mass in rodents with T2D. Overall, Imeglimin appears to target a key root cause of T2D: defective cellular energy metabolism. This potential mode of action is unique and has been shown to differ from that of other major therapeutic classes, including biguanides, sulphonylureas and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is among the most frequent etiologies of cirrhosis worldwide, and it is associated with features of metabolic syndrome; the key factor influencing its prognosis is the progression of liver fibrosis. This review aimed to propose a practical and stepwise approach to the evaluation and management of liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD, analyzing the currently available literature. In the assessment of NAFLD patients, it is important to identify clinical, genetic, and environmental determinants of fibrosis development and its progression. To properly detect fibrosis, it is important to take into account the available methods and their supporting scientific evidence to guide the approach and the sequential selection of the best available biochemical scores, followed by a complementary imaging study (transient elastography, magnetic resonance elastography or acoustic radiation force impulse) and finally a liver biopsy, when needed. To help with the selection of the most appropriate method a Fagan′s nomogram analysis is provided in this review, describing the diagnostic yield of each method and their post-test probability of detecting liver fibrosis. Finally, treatment should always include diet and exercise, as well as controlling the components of the metabolic syndrome, +/- vitamin E, considering the presence of sleep apnea, and when available, allocate those patients with advanced fibrosis or high risk of progression into clinical trials. The final end of this approach should be to establish an opportune diagnosis and treatment of liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD, aiming to decrease/stop its progression and improve their prognosis.

Abstract
Gliflozins (canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin) are the newest anti-hyperglycemic class and have offered cardiovascular and renal benefits. Because platelets are involved in the atherothrombosis process, this study is aimed to evaluate the direct effect of gliflozins on platelet reactivity. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or washed platelets (WP) were obtained from healthy volunteers. Aggregation, flow cytometry for glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, cyclic nucleotides and intracellular calcium levels, Western blot, thromboxane B2 (TXB2) measurement and COX-1 activity were performed in the presence of gliflozins (1-30 μM) alone or in combination with sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 10 or 100 nM) + iloprost (ILO, 0.1 or 1 nM). SGLT2 protein is not expressed on human platelets. Gliflozins produced little inhibitory effect in agonists-induced aggregation and this effect was greatly potentiated by ~10-fold in the presence of SNP + ILO, accompanied by lower levels of TXB2 (58.1 ± 5.1%, 47.1 ± 7.2% and 43.4 ± 9.2% inhibition for canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, respectively). The activity of COX-1 was not affected by gliflozins. Collagen increased Ca2+ levels and α(IIb)β(3) activation, both of which were significantly reduced by gliflozins + SNP + ILO. The intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP and the protein expression of p-VASPSer157 and p-VASPSer239 were not increased by gliflozins while the expression of the serine-threonine kinase, AktSer473 was markedly reduced. Our results showed that the antiplatelet activity of gliflozins were greatly enhanced by nitric oxide and prostacyclin, thus suggesting that the cardiovascular protection seen by this class of drugs could be in part due to platelet inhibition.

Abstract
Currently, only two drugs for reducing uric acid (UA), allopurinol and febuxostat, are registered in the Russian Federation, but their use does not allow to achieve the target level of UA in all cases. According to the results of numerous randomized trials, hyperuricemia and gout are associated with the corresponding components of the metabolic syndrome, including diabetes mellitus. The influence of factors is due to the need to search for new drugs that have a complex effect on several components of metabolic syndrome at once. Potentially attractive in this regard is a new group of drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus inhibitors of the sodium-glucose cotransporter of type 2, which, in addition to the main hypoglycemic actions, showed positive effects on the cardiovascular system, kidneys, as well as lowering UA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In routine clinical practice, early discontinuation of newly initiated glucose-lowering medications (GLM) is relatively common. We herein evaluated if the clinical characteristics associated with early discontinuation of dapagliflozin were different from those associated with early discontinuation of other GLM. METHODS The DARWIN-T2D was a multicenter retrospective study conducted at diabetes specialist outpatient clinics in Italy. We included 2484 patients who were initiated on dapagliflozin in 2015-2016 and 14,801 patients who were initiated on other GLM (DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, or gliclazide) in the same period. After excluding patients who had not (yet) returned to follow-up, we compared the characteristics of patients who persisted on drug versus those who were no longer on drug at the first available follow-up after at least 3 months. RESULTS As compared to those who persisted on drug, patients who discontinued dapagliflozin (51.7%) were more often female, had higher baseline fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, and eGFR, and less common use of metformin. Upon multiple regression, higher HbA1c, higher eGFR, and lower metformin use remained independently associated with early discontinuation. Among patients who had been initiated on other GLM, 41.7% discontinued. Variables independently associated with discontinuation were older age, longer diabetes duration, higher HbA1c, eGFR, and albumin excretion, more common use of insulin and less metformin. CONCLUSION In routine clinical practice, all variables associated with dapagliflozin discontinuation were also associated with discontinuation of other GLM. Thus, despite a distinctive mechanism of action and a peculiar tolerability profile, no specific predictor of dapagliflozin discontinuation was detected.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an endocrine metabolic disorder, occurring worldwide due to aging, advancement in lifestyle by modernization. T2DM is characterized by higher levels of glucose in the blood due to unresponsive secretion of pancreatic insulin and insulin activity or altogether. T2DM is regarded as a powerful genetic susceptible disease that leads to high risk with insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. To manage and overcome type 2 diabetes, physical activity, diet strategies, and other therapeutic medications along with usage of antiglycemic agents are developed and attempted appropriately. In the present review, attention has been focused on the understanding of T2DM outcomes, complications with possible management strategies, and pathophysiology of T2DM. Further, a detailed note on antiglycemic agents in use and other possible drugs of choice was discussed in the light of current preventive strategies are presented in this review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The discovery of Sodium-Glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors had rewritten the treatment of diabetes mellitus with an impressive fall in the incidence of death and associated complications. INTRODUCTION The SGLT2 inhibitors by inhibiting the SGLT2 in the proximal nephron, helps in reducing the reabsorption of approximately 90% of the filtered glucose and increased urinary glucose excretion (UGE). METHODS The literature related to SGLT2 inhibitors has been thoroughly explored from various available public domains and reviewed extensively for this article. Detailed and updated information related to SGLT2 inhibitors with a major focus on the recently approved Ertuglifolzin is structured in this review. RESULT The present review is an effort to understand the management of diabetes mellitus over the past few decades with a special focus on the role of SGLT2 receptor in the causes of therapeutic and preventive strategies for diabetes mellitus. Pragmatic placement of the currently available Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin, and Empagliflozin as oral antidiabetic agents has been done. Well accommodated stereochemistry and a high docking score of Ertugliflozin in ligand-receptor simulation studies attribute to its high potency. CONCLUSION This review highlights the unique mechanism of SGLT2 Inhibitors coupled with pleiotropic benefits on weight and blood pressure, which make it an attractive choice of therapy to diabetic patients, not controlled by other medications.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION As a member of the tumor necrosis factor-α-related protein family, complement-1q tumor necrosis factor-α-related protein isoform 5 (CTRP5) has been found to be associated with obesity and insulin resistance (IR). Previous studies in humans and animals have reported contradictory results related to the association between CTRP5 and IR. The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between CTRP5 and IR through a cross-sectional study and drug intervention study of type 2 diabetes patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out with 118 newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes and 116 healthy adults. In an interventional study, 78 individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes received sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (dapagliflozin) treatment for 3 months. Circulating CTRP5 concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Serum CTRP5 concentrations were markedly reduced in patients with type 2 diabetes when compared with those of healthy individuals (P < 0.01). When considering the study population as a whole, individuals with IR (homeostasis model of assessment of IR ≥2.78) had lower CTRP5 concentrations than the individuals without IR (homeostasis model of assessment of IR <2.78; P < 0.01). Serum CTRP5 negatively correlated with age, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, Systolic blood pressure, triglyceride, total cholesterol, glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, 2-h blood glucose, fasting insulin and homeostasis model of assessment of IR. After 12 weeks of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor treatment, serum CTRP5 levels in type 2 diabetes patients were significantly reduced accompanied with ameliorated glycometabolism and IR compared with before treatment (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS CTRP5 is likely a marker for type 2 diabetes in humans.

Abstract
The inhibition effects of some phenolic compounds from natural products such as taxifolin, resveratrol, olivetol, cynarine, and phloretin on bovine milk lactoperoxidase (LPO) enzyme were examined. For this aim, LPO was purified by the affinity chromatography technique with a yield of 77.68% in 421.32 times. The kinetic value, Ki , was calculated from the equations obtained from drawn graphs. In order to discover inhibition mechanism of phenolic compounds, induced fit docking process was performed on the LPO receptors. The binding affinity of the compounds was calculated and at the best-scored ligand-receptor complex, residues responsible for enzyme inhibition were detected. As a result, this molecule demonstrated the potential inhibitory effect on LPO. According to the results of kinetic study. It has shown a noncompetitive inhibition effect, Phloretin's Ki value was determined by 48.89 ± 14.22 nM. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: There are natural antimicrobial systems, such as the lactoperoxidase (E.C.1.11.1.7; LPO) system, which eliminates the harmful effects of microorganisms in milk. The chemical reactions in this system are catalyzed by the LPO. In the dairy industry, the LPO system is considered critical for the preservation of pasteurized milk, yogurt, raw milk, and cheese. The system is used for improvement the protection condition of milk at high temperatures.

Abstract
Healthful dietary patterns and bioactive compounds supplementation can be adopted as simple and easy intervention to prevent, attenuate or cure clinical disorders, especially when it comes to degenerative and chronic diseases. In the recent years, a growing body of evidence indicates Aquaporins (AQPs), a family of membrane channel proteins widely expressed in the human body, among the targets underlying the beneficial action played by some food nutrients and phytochemical compounds. Here, we provide an overview of what is known regarding the AQP modulation exerted by healthful dietary patterns and plant polyphenols.

Abstract
The identification of genes causing inherited kidney diseases yielded crucial insights in the molecular basis of disease and improved our understanding of physiological processes that operate in the kidney. Monogenic kidney disorders are caused by mutations in genes coding for a large variety of proteins including receptors, channels and transporters, enzymes, transcription factors, and structural components, operating in specialized cell types that perform highly regulated homeostatic functions. Common variants in some of these genes are also associated with complex traits, as evidenced by genome-wide association studies in the general population. In this review, we discuss how the molecular genetics of inherited disorders affecting different tubular segments of the nephron improved our understanding of various transport processes and of their involvement in homeostasis, while providing novel therapeutic targets. These include inherited disorders causing a dysfunction of the proximal tubule (renal Fanconi syndrome), with emphasis on epithelial differentiation and receptor-mediated endocytosis, or affecting the reabsorption of glucose, the handling of uric acid, and the reabsorption of sodium, calcium, and magnesium along the kidney tubule.

Chronopharmacology of dapagliflozin-induced antihyperglycemic effects in C57BL/6J mice. Obes Res Clin Pract 2019; 13:505-510.

Abstract
Chronopharmacology is the study of the varying responses of drugs to changes in biological timing and endogenous periodicities. The selective sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, is a globally prescribed antihyperglycemic drug. Although dapagliflozin is usually administered once a day, the specific intake time is generally not mentioned. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the diurnal effects of dapagliflozin on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in mice. Five-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal (control) diet or HFD for 10 weeks. During the last 2 weeks, the mice were administered olive oil/ethanol emulsion or dapagliflozin (1mg/kg, p.o.) in the light or dark phase. At the end of the experiment, the mice were euthanized after an 18h fasting period, and plasma and tissue samples (epididymal white adipose tissues, liver, and kidney) were collected. Dapagliflozin administration in the light phase significantly decreased plasma glucose levels, insulin levels, adipose adipokines, and decreased the size of adipocytes, compared with the HFD group. In contrast, these parameters remained unchanged in the mice treated during the dark phase. Our data therefore suggests that dapagliflozin portrays definite chronopharmacology, which may provide valuable information on the importance of drug administration timing for maximal pharmacological effects.

Abstract
The aberrant presentation of carbohydrates has been linked to a number of diseases, such as cancer metastasis and immune dysregulation. These altered glycan structures represent a target for novel therapies by modulating their associated interactions with neighboring cells and molecules. Although these interactions are highly specific, native carbohydrates are characterized by very low affinities and inherently poor pharmacokinetic properties. Glycomimetic compounds, which mimic the structure and function of native glycans, have been successful in producing molecules with improved pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) features. Several strategies have been developed for glycomimetic design such as ligand pre-organization or reducing polar surface area. A related approach to developing glycomimetics relies on the bioisosteric replacement of carbohydrate functional groups. These changes can offer improvements to both binding affinity (e.g., reduced desolvation costs, enhanced metal chelation) and pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., improved oral bioavailability). Several examples of bioisosteric modifications to carbohydrates have been reported; this review aims to consolidate them and presents different possibilities for enhancing core interactions in glycomimetics.

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
Combining antihyperglycemic agents in order to rapidly and safely achieve the best possible glycemic control is the standard of care today for the management of type 2 diabetes. Agents should ideally have mechanisms of actions that are complementary and that improve glycemic control without unacceptable gain in body weight or hypoglycemia. Areas covered: Ertugliflozin and metformin hydrochloride (ertugliflozin/metformin, SEGLUROMET) is a recently approved fixed-dose combination tablet containing the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor ertugliflozin and metformin. This review summarizes key characteristics of ertugliflozin and metformin, as well as the efficacy and safety results of co-administration of these agents in the ertugliflozin clinical development program. This information comes from the ertugliflozin/metformin prescribing information as well as published clinical trials obtained through a PubMed search. Expert commentary: SGLT-2 inhibitors are an important class of antihyperglycemic agents that are efficacious as monotherapy and in combination with other antihyperglycemic agents. Given their favorable effects on glycemia control as well as 'extra-glycemic' parameters such as body weight and blood pressure, they are ideal agents for appropriate patients with type 2 diabetes. The fixed-dose combination of ertugliflozin with metformin is an effective combination that is conveniently administered and may improve medication adherence and persistence.

Abstract
To describe the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were searched for randomized controlled trials of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM up to Aug 10, 2017, without language or date restrictions. Thirty-one studies totaling 13,650 patients were included. SGLT2 inhibitors significantly decreased SUA levels compared with placebo, canagliflozin WMD -37.02 μmol/L, 95% CI [-38.41, -35.63], dapagliflozin WMD -38.05 μmol/L, 95% CI [-44.47, -31.62], empagliflozin WMD -42.07 μmol/L, 95% CI [-46.27, -37.86]. The drug class effect of SUA reduction suggesting SGLT2 inhibitors might be beneficial for diabetic patients with hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most prevalent metabolic disorder worldwide. Glycemic control is the main focus of antidiabetic therapy. However, there are data suggesting that some antidiabetic drugs may have intrinsic beneficial renal effects and protect against the development and progression of albuminuria, thus minimizing the risk of diabetic nephropathy. These pharmacological agents can suppress upstream molecular pathways involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes-induced renal dysfunction such as oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis. In this narrative review, the pathophysiology of albuminuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy is discussed. Furthermore, the renoprotective effects of antidiabetic drugs, focusing on albuminuria, are reviewed.

Abstract
In a rapid increase in cases of diabetes mellitus worldwide, there has been interested in the use of plant-derived polyphenols as nutraceuticals to prevent the onset and progression of diabetes mellitus and its associated complications. Aspalathus linearis, commonly known as rooibos, is a rich source of uncommon glycosylated plant polyphenols with various critical health-promoting properties, including the prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM). This study aimed to examine these effects by meta-analyzing the current evidence in diabetic rodent models. Peer-reviewed studies written in English from two databases, PubMed and Embase, were searched up to 28 February 2018. Studies reporting blood glucose levels in diabetic rodents with and without receiving rooibos extracts or their major phenolic compounds are included. Twelve studies enrolling 88 diabetic rodents treated with rooibos extracts or their polyphenols and 85 diabetic control males reported blood glucose levels. The pooled effect size was -0.89 (95% CI: -1.44 to -0.35) with a substantial heterogeneity (I² = 67.0%). This effect was likely to be modified by type of rooibos extracts and their polyphenols and treatment period. Blood glucose levels were significantly lower in diabetic rodent models treated with the phenolic compound rich in rooibos extracts, PPAG.

Abstract
RATIONALE Forced degradation studies are useful for better understanding of the stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients and drugs and to generate information about drug degradation pathways and formation of degradation products (DPs). Identification of DPs plays a vital role in establishing the safety and therapeutic benefit of a drug. METHODS Canagliflozin (CAN) was subjected to different stress conditions as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines (Q1A R2). All the DPs and the drug were well separated on an Aquity CSH C18 (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column using acetonitrile-methanol (70:30, v/v) and formic acid in gradient mode. The same UPLC method was employed for LC/HRMS for the characterization of DPs. In addition, in silico toxicity was predicted for all the DPs by using TOPKAT and DEREK software tools. RESULTS CAN was found to degrade under oxidative stress condition and formed DP1 and DP2. This is a typical case of degradation where co-solvents acetonitrile-water (50:50, v/v) and methanol-water (50:50, v/v) react with CAN under acid hydrolytic conditions leading to the formation of pseudo-DPs, DP3 and DP4, respectively. Among these, DP2 and DP3 showed ocular irritancy whereas DP1 showed skin sensitization. CONCLUSIONS The drug was labile under oxidative stress condition. CAN reacted with co-solvent under acid hydrolytic conditions and gave pseudo-DPs. All the DPs were separated using UPLC and characterized by LC/QTOF/MS/MS. Toxicity of DPs was evaluated using TOPKAT and DEREK software tools.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PubMed, CENTRAL, EMBASE and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for randomized controlled trials of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM up to May 20, 2017. A total of 62 studies, comprising 34 941 patients, were included. Any of the SGLT2 inhibitors (empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, tofogliflozin, luseogliflozin or ipragliflozin) significantly decreased SUA levels compared with control (total weighted mean difference [WMD] -37.73 μmol/L, 95% CI [-40.51, -34.95]). Treatment with empagliflozin resulted in a superior reduction in SUA (WMD -45.83 μmol/L, 95% CI [-53.03, -38.63]). The effect persisted during long-term treatment. Dapagliflozin decreased SUA in a dose-dependent manner (from 5 to 50 mg, P = .014). In subgroup analyses, greater reductions could be observed during the course of early diabetes and the SUA-lowering effect was abolished in patients with chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 ). The effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on SUA reduction suggests that this class of drugs might be beneficial for diabetic patients with hyperuricaemia.

Abstract
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the secretion of thyroid hormones by binding the TSH receptor (TSHR). TSHR is well-known to be expressed in thyroid tissue, excepting it, TSHR has also been expressed in many other tissues. In this study, we have examined the expression of TSHR in rat pancreatic islets and evaluated the role of TSH in regulating pancreas-specific gene expression. TSHR was confirmed to be expressed in rodent pancreatic islets and its cell line, INS-1 cells. TSH directly affected the glucose uptake in INS cells by up-regulating the expression of GLUT2, and furthermore this process was blocked by SB203580, the specific inhibitor of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. Similarly, TSH stimulated GLUT2 promoter activity, while both a dominant-negative p38MAPK α isoform (p38MAPK α-DN) and the specific inhibitor for p38MAPK α abolished the stimulatory effect of TSH on GLUT2 promoter activity. Finally, INS-1 cells treated with TSH showed increased protein level of glucokinase and enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Together, these results confirm that TSHR is expressed in INS-1 cells and rat pancreatic islets, and suggest that activation of the p38MAPK α might be required for TSH-induced GLUT2 gene transcription in pancreatic β cells.

Abstract
The basis of treatment in autoimmune diabetes is insulin therapy; however, many clinical cases have proven that this method does not solve all problems. Trials of causal treatment including blocking the autoimmune processes and insulin-producing cells transplants were carried out. Those methods require more research to be concerned as efficient and safe ways of treatment in type 1 diabetes. The use of non-insulin adjunct treatment is a new trend. It has been successfully used in laboratories as well as clinical trials. Metformin is the most widely used drug, together with sodium-glucose co-transporters 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, amylin analogues, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. The results of administration of these medicaments give good outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1. Most likely, in the near future, they will progressively be used in both adult and adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes. Further multicenter, randomized studies are required to evaluate the efficacy of treatment and long term safety of these drugs.

Abstract
Aim: Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) is a promising target for diabetes therapy. We aimed to develop computational approaches to identify structural features for more potential SGLT2 inhibitors. Materials & methods: In this work, 46 triazole derivatives as SGLT2 inhibitors were studied using a combination of several approaches, including hologram quantitative structure–activity relationships (HQSAR), topomer comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), homology modeling, and molecular docking. HQSAR and topomer CoMFA were used to construct models. Molecular docking was conducted to investigate the interaction of triazole derivatives and homology modeling of SGLT2, as well as to validate the results of the HQSAR and topomer CoMFA models. Results: The most effective HQSAR and topomer CoMFA models exhibited noncross-validated correlation coefficients of 0.928 and 0.891 for the training set, respectively. External predictions were made successfully on a test set and then compared with previously reported models. The graphical results of HQSAR and topomer CoMFA were proven to be consistent with the binding mode of the inhibitors and SGLT2 from molecular docking. Conclusion: The models and docking provided important insights into the design of potent inhibitors for SGLT2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by systemic metabolic abnormalities and the development of micro- and macrovascular complications, resulting in a shortened life expectancy. A recent cardiovascular (CV) safety trial, the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, showed that empagliflozin, a sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, markedly reduced CV death and all-cause mortality and hospitalization for heart failure in patients with T2DM and established CV disease (CVD). SGLT2 inhibitors are known to not only decrease plasma glucose levels, but also favorably modulate a wide range of metabolic and hemodynamic disorders related to CV pathways. Although some experimental studies revealed a beneficial effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on atherosclerosis, there is a paucity of clinical data showing that they can slow the progression of atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM. Therefore, the EMBLEM trial was designed to investigate whether empagliflozin treatment can improve endothelial function, which plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, in patients with T2DM and established CVD. METHODS The EMBLEM trial is an ongoing, prospective, multicenter, placebo-controlled double-blind randomized, investigator-initiated clinical trial in Japan. A total of 110 participants with T2DM (HbA1c range 6.0-10.0%) and with established CVD will be randomized (1:1) to receive either empagliflozin 10 mg once daily or a placebo. The primary endpoint of the trial is change in the reactive hyperemia (RH)-peripheral arterial tonometry-derived RH index at 24 weeks from baseline. For comparison of treatment effects between the treatment groups, the baseline-adjusted means and their 95% confidence intervals will be estimated by analysis of covariance adjusted for the following allocation factors: HbA1c (<7.0 or ≥7.0%), age (<65 or ≥65 years), systolic blood pressure (<140 or ≥140 mmHg), and current smoking status (nonsmoker or smoker). Key secondary endpoints include the change from baseline for other vascular-related markers such as arterial stiffness, sympathetic nervous activity, and parameters of cardiac and renal function. Importantly, serious adverse effects independently on the causal relationship to the trial drugs and protocol will be also evaluated throughout the trial period. DISCUSSION EMBLEM is the first trial to assess the effect of empagliflozin on endothelial function in patients with T2DM and established CVD. Additionally, mechanisms associating empagliflozin-mediated actions with endothelial function and other CV markers will be evaluated. Thus, the trial is designed to elucidate potential mechanisms by which empagliflozin protects CV systems and improves CV outcomes.

Abstract
World Health Organization (WHO) has identified diabetes as one of the fastest growing non-communicable diseases with 422 million patients around the world in 2014. Diabetes, a metabolic disease, is characterized primarily by hyperglycemia which results in various macrovascular and microvascular complications like cardiovascular disease and neuropathies which can significantly deteriorate the quality of life. The body either does not manufactures enough insulin (type 1 diabetes or T1DM) or becomes insensitive to physiologically secreted insulin or both (type 2 diabetes or T2DM). The majority of the diabetic population is affected by type 2 diabetes. Currently, hyperglycemia is treated by a broad range of molecules such as biguanides, sulfonylurea, insulin, thiazolidinediones, incretin mimetics, and DPP-4 inhibitors exerting different mechanisms. However, new drug classes have indeed come in the market such as SGLT-2 inhibitors and other are in the experimental stages such as GPR 40 agonists, GSK-3 inhibitors, GK activators and GPR21 inhibitors which definitely could be anticipated as safe and effective for diabetes therapy. This article reviews the general approach to currently approved therapies for type 2 diabetes and focusing on novel approaches that could be a panacea and might be useful in the future for diabetes patients.

Sci Rep 2017; 7:44128. [PMID: 28276512 PMCID: PMC5343472 DOI: 10.1038/srep44128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2016] [Accepted: 02/03/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
To assess the efficacy and safety of the SGLT-2 inhibitors as adjunct therapy to insulin in T1DM, clinical trials indexed in PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase from inception through April 5, 2016. A meta-analysis was conducted on trials of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with T1DM on insulin therapy using RevMan 5.3 software. Of the 371 articles identified, ten met eligibility criteria. Seven clinical trials including four randomized controlled trials and 581 patients were included. Compared with the control group, SGLT-2 inhibitors group had significantly reduced fasting plasma glucose by 0.69 mmol/L [1.32; 0.07], glycosylated hemoglobin A1C by 0.37% [0.54; 0.20], body weight by 2.54 kg [3.48; 1.60] and total daily insulin dose by 6.22 IU [8.04; 4.40]. The total incidence of adverse events (AEs), hypoglycemia, and genital and urinary infections were also similar to placebo, while an increased incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (n = 16) was seen in SGLT-2 inhibitors group. The present study demonstrates that SGLT-2 inhibitors are effective as adjunct therapy to insulin in T1DM, heralding improved glycemic control, reduced body weight and total daily insulin dose without an increase in total AEs, hypoglycemia, or genital and urinary infections. However, the risk of DKA should be carefully monitored in future clinical trials.

The beneficial effects of empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, on atherosclerosis in ApoE -/- mice fed a western diet. Diabetologia 2017; 60:364-376. [PMID: 27866224 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-016-4158-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 186] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2016] [Accepted: 10/21/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS A recent large clinical study has shown that empagliflozin has a lower rate of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality when compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. We investigated the effect of empagliflozin (compared with glimepiride) on the progression of atherosclerosis, and its possible mechanisms of action. METHODS Forty-eight 5-week-old male ApoE -/- mice were fed a western diet for 20 weeks and divided into four groups: control (saline, 154 mmol/l NaCl), glimepiride 0.1 mg/kg, empagliflozin 1 mg/kg and empagliflozin 3 mg/kg (n = 12/group). Plaque size and composition in the aortic arch/valve areas and cardiovascular risk variables in the blood and tissues were evaluated. Insulin resistance was estimated by HOMA and adiponectin levels. Body composition was determined using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS After 8 weeks of treatment, the empagliflozin and glimepiride groups exhibited decreased blood glucose levels. Atherosclerotic plaque areas in the aortic arch/valve were significantly smaller in the empagliflozin groups than in the control or glimepiride groups. Insulin resistance and circulating concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), serum amyloid A and urinary microalbumin decreased after empagliflozin treatment, and this significantly correlated with plaque size. Empagliflozin treatment reduced weight and fat mass, lipid droplets in the liver, fat cell size, mRNA expression of Tnf, Il6 and Mcp-1 (also known as Ccl2) and the infiltration of inflammatory cells in plaque and adipose tissue compared with the control or glimepiride group. Empagliflozin treatment increased adiponectin levels. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Improvements in inflammation and insulin resistance seem to be mechanisms involved in the mitigation of atherosclerosis by empagliflozin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition complicated by being overweight or obese. This study used a patient survey to assess health, satisfaction, and diabetes self-management in relation to weight management. METHODS A survey including the Current Health Satisfaction Questionnaire, Diabetes Distress Scale, and Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire was administered using an online platform to a sample of 205 patients with T2DM prescribed canagliflozin. Patients were placed into 5 groups based on their self-reported weight change since initiation of canagliflozin: Lost >10 lbs, Lost 5-10 lbs, Lost <5 lbs, No Change, and Gained Weight. One-way ANOVAs, Kruskall-Wallis tests, and multivariable regression were used to explore differences between weight loss groups. RESULTS The majority of patients (66.8%) reported losing weight. Compared to other groups, patients who lost >10 lbs were more likely to be engaged in a weight loss program for at least 6 months. Patients in the Lost >10 lbs and Lost 5-10 lbs groups reported the greatest satisfaction with canagliflozin (p<0.05 for both). Multivariable analyses controlling for patient demographic and treatment characteristics revealed that losing >10 lbs was associated with reduced diabetes distress, improved A1c and blood glucose levels, and decreased perceived frequency of hyperglycemia (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Increased positive patient outcomes, engagement in diabetes self-management, and medication satisfaction were observed among patients who reported weight loss. These findings suggest that a T2DM regimen that includes canagliflozin as part of a weight loss regimen can help improve patient outcomes and experiences with T2DM.

Abstract
Given inconsistent trial results of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in addition to insulin therapy for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this combination for T2DM by searching available randomized trials from PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov. Our meta-analysis included seven eligible placebo-controlled trials involving 4235 patients. Compared with placebo, SGLT2 inhibitor treatment was significantly associated with a mean reduction in HbA1c of -0.56%, fasting plasma glucose of -0.95 mmol/L, body weight of -2.63 kg and insulin dose of -8.79 IU, but an increased risk of drug-related adverse events by 36%, urinary tract infections by 29% and genital infections by 357%. No significant increase was observed in risk of overall adverse events [risk ratio (RR), 1.00], serious adverse events (RR, 0.90), adverse events leading to discontinuation (RR, 1.16), hypoglycaemia events (RR, 1.07) and severe hypoglycaemia events (RR, 1.24). No diabetic ketoacidosis events were reported. Further studies are needed to establish optimal combination type and dose.

Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitor Increases Circulating Zinc-Α2-Glycoprotein Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes. Sci Rep 2016; 6:32887.

Abstract
ZAG has recently been characterized as a potent metabolic regulator, but the effect of anti-diabetic agents on ZAG in humans remains unknown. Our aim was to study the effects of SGLT2 inhibitor on circulating ZAG and ADI in nT2DM. 162 subjects with nT2DM were treated by a placebo or DAPA. After 3-months of DAPA therapy, HbA1c, FBG, 2h-PBG, FFA, TG, blood pressure, BMI, WHR, body weight, FAT%, FINS, and HOMA-IR in T2DM patients decreased significantly, whereas HDL-C was significantly increased. Importantly, circulating ZAG and ADI levels in these patients were also significantly increased after DAPA therapy. Basal ZAG levels were associated with changes in BMI, FAT%, TC, HbA1c, HDL-C and ADI at post-treatment, whereas basal ADI levels were associated with changes in FAT%, TC, HbA1c, FFA and HDL-c. In vitro, DAPA treatment showed increased ZAG expression and secretion in HepG2 cells. When combined with a PPAR-γinhibitor GW9662, the effect of DAPA on ZAG was abrogated. These findings suggest that circulating ZAG can be regulated by DAPA, and DAPA promotes the expression and secretion of ZAG in the liver via the activation of PPAR-γ. The changes in ZAG induced by DAPA may play a physiologic role in enhancing insulin sensitivity.
