deberza and Diabetes-Mellitus--Type-2

Gliflozins constitute an important class of compounds useful as sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT2) inhibitors to treat type-II diabetes. They act by blocking sodium-glucose transport protein 2 which is responsible for re-absorption of glucose in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) of kidney and thus its inhibition reduces blood glucose level. There are a number of gliflozins which have been approved by drug regulatory bodies like FDA, EMA and PMDA whereas some others are in pipeline in their late developmental phases. The present review article offers a detailed account of synthetic strategies employed for the synthesis, alternate synthetic routes along with Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) studies of well-established as well as newly developed SGLT2 inhibitors.

The cardiovascular complications were highly prevalent in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), even at the early stage of T2DM or the state of intensive glycemic control. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the intervention of cardiovascular complications in T2DM. Herein, the new hybrids of NO donor and SGLT2 inhibitor were design to achieve dual effects of anti-hyperglycemic and anti-thrombosis. As expected, the preferred hybrid 2 exhibited moderate SGLT2 inhibitory effects and anti-platelet aggregation activities, and its anti-platelet effect mediated by NO was also confirmed in the presence of NO scavenger. Moreover, compound 2 revealed significantly hypoglycemic effects and excretion of urinary glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test in mice. Potent and multifunctional hybrid, such as compound 2, is expected as a potential candidate for the intervention of cardiovascular complications in T2DM.

Inhibition of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) has been proposed as a novel therapeutic approach to treat type 2 diabetes. In our efforts to discover novel inhibitors of SGLT2, we first generated a 3D pharmacophore model based on the superposition of known inhibitors. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database using a series of pharmacophore queries led to the discovery of an O-spiroketal C-arylglucoside scaffold. Subsequent chemical examination combined with computational modeling resulted in the identification of the clinical candidate 16d (CSG452, tofogliflozin), which is currently under phase III clinical trials.
