Challenges with Current Treatment
Hyperglycemia:
– Leads to microvascular complications
– Can facilitate beta-cell failure in the pancreas and
worsen insulin resistance, thus triggering a cycle
of impaired metabolism (glucotoxicity)
Traditional focus: developing agents that improve
insulin sensitivity and/or enhance endogenous
insulin secretion
But hypoglycemia and weight gain are major
obstacles to optimizing glycemic control
SGLT2 Inhibitors: A Potential
Solution?
Paradoxically, there can be an increased glucose
reabsorptive capacity by the kidney in diabetes
Inhibition of SGLT2-mediated glucose reabsorption in
the renal proximal tubule leads to increased
glycosuria
Results in: reduced plasma glucose levels, enhanced
insulin sensitivity, suppressed hepatic glucose
production, and improved insulin secretion
Mechanism of action is independent of insulin
resistance or the severity of beta-cell dysfunction
The Renal Corpuscle and Glomerular
Filtration
Afferent arteriole Efferent arteriole
• Glucose, water, salts,
small metabolites, and
other small molecules are
filtered and collect in
Bowman’s space
• Filtration is a process of
passive diffusion
• The total amount of a
substance (glucose)
filtered is proportional to
its plasma concentration
