Investigational Drug Details

Drug ID: D101
Drug Name: Dapagliflozin
Synonyms: (2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-2-(4-Chloro-3-(4-ethoxybenzyl)phenyl)-6- (hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol; Dapagliflozin
Type: Chemical drug
DrugBank ID: DB06292
DrugBank Description: Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor indicated for managing diabetes mellitus type 2. When combined with diet and exercise in adults, dapagliflozin helps to improve glycemic control by inhibiting glucose resorption in the proximal tubule of the nephron and causing glycosuria. Dapagliflozin was approved by the FDA on Jan 08, 2014.
PubChem ID: 9887712
CasNo: 461432-26-8
Repositioning for NAFLD: Yes
SMILES: O[C@H]1[C@@H](O[C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H]1O)O)CO)c1cc(Cc2ccc(cc2)OCC)c(cc1)Cl
Structure:
InChiKey: JVHXJTBJCFBINQ-ADAARDCZSA-N
Molecular Weight: 408.878
DrugBank Targets: Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 antagonist&inhibitor
DrugBank MoA: Dapagliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose contransporter 2(SGLT2) which is primarily located in the proximal tubule of the nephron. SGLT2 facilitates 90% of glucose resorption in the kidneys and so its inhibition allows for glucose to be excreted in the urine. This excretion allows for better glycemic control and potentially weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
DrugBank Pharmacology: Dapagliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose contransporter 2(SGLT2) which is primarily located in the proximal tubule of the nephron. SGLT2 facilitates 90% of glucose resorption in the kidneys and so its inhibition allows for glucose to be excreted in the urine. This excretion allows for better glycemic control and potentially weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
DrugBank Indication: Dapagliflozin is indicated to improve glycemic control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus along with diet and exercise.
Targets: SLC5A2 antagonist; SLC5A2 inhibitor
Therapeutic Category: Antidiabetic drug
Clinical Trial Progress: Phase 2 completed (NCT02426541: In this study, 8 weeks of treatment with dapagliflozin reduced liver PDFF and the volume of visceral adipose tissue in obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Although glycemic control was improved, no effect on tissue-level insulin sensitivity was observed.)
Latest Progress: Under clinical trials
