Canagliflozin

Canagliflozin 0.5 H2O(JNJ 28431754; TA 7284) is a highly potent and selective SGLT2 inhibitor for hSGLT2 with IC50 of 2.2 nM, exhibits 413-fold selectivity over hSGLT1.IC50 value: 2.2 nMTarget: SGLT2Canagliflozin(JNJ 24831754ZAE; JNJ 28431754; JNJ 28431754AAA; TA 7284) is an experimental drug being developed by Johnson & Johnson for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.Canagliflozin(JNJ 24831754ZAE; JNJ 28431754; JNJ 28431754AAA; TA 7284) is an inhibitor of subtype 2 sodium-glucose transport
Canagliflozin, an orally active and selective sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, was co-developed by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. The drug was approved in March by the U.S. FDA and launched in April 2013 in the U.S. SGLT2 is involved in the glucose re-absorption pathway in the kidney, and its inhibition increases urinary glucose excretion, and reduces plasma glucose and HbA1c levels. In addition, canagliflozin is safe in combination with other commonly used antidiabetic agents and has a significant effect on body weight reduction. A recently published process patent from ScinoPharm Taiwan describes the synthesis of canagliflozin.
ChEBI: Canagliflozin hydrate is a hydrate that is the hemihydrate form of canagliflozin. Used for treatment of type II diabetes via inhibition of sodium-glucose transport protein subtype 2. It has a role as a hypoglycemic agent and a sodium-glucose transport protein subtype 2 inhibitor. It contains a canagliflozin.
