(1S)-1,5-Anhydro-1-(3-((5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-thienyl)methyl)-4-methylphenyl)-D-glucitol hemihydrate

개요Canagliflozin, 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.

용도Canagliflozin Hemihydrate is a derivative of Canagliflozin (C175190), which is a sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. Canagliflozin has been shown to dose dependently reduce calculated renal threshold for glucose excretion and increase urinary glucose excretion. Canagliflozin is a candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
