Thirty-six patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were randomized 1:1:1 to receive a once-daily oral dose of placebo or 150 or 300 mg of the dual SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibitor LX4211 for 28 days. Relative to placebo, LX4211 enhanced urinary glucose excretion by inhibiting SGLT2-mediated renal glucose reabsorption; markedly and significantly improved multiple measures of glycemic control, including fasting plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance, and HbA(1c); and significantly lowered serum triglycerides. LX4211 also mediated trends for lower weight, lower blood pressure, and higher glucagon-like peptide-1 levels. In a follow-up single-dose study in 12 patients with T2DM, LX4211 (300 mg) significantly increased glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY levels relative to pretreatment values, probably by delaying SGLT1-mediated intestinal glucose absorption. In both studies, LX4211 was well tolerated without evidence of increased gastrointestinal side effects. These data support further study of LX4211-mediated dual SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibition as a novel mechanism of action in the treatment of T2DM.

Sodium-glucose cotransport (SGLT) inhibitors, or gliflozins, initially developed for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus, have emerged as promising therapeutic agents for hypertension, offering both cardiovascular and renal protection. Recently, a dual SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibitor was approved for the treatment of heart failure (HF), including preserved and reduced ejection fraction. Clinical trials consistently demonstrate the ability of gliflozins to lower blood pressure (BP) and reduce cardiovascular events, particularly in patients with comorbid conditions such as chronic kidney disease and HF.

Dual inhibition of sodium glucose cotransporters 1 and 2 (SGLT1/SGLT2) by sotagliflozin protects the kidney and heart in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). To gain mechanistic insights, the current study aimed to establish a murine model of hypertensive CKD that shows cardio-renal protection by sotagliflozin. Since protection by SGLT2 inhibitors can be diabetes-independent, a nondiabetic murine model of subtotal nephrectomy with angiotensin II infusion-facilitated hypertension was followed for 7 weeks.

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (T2D) is an emerging health burden in the USand worldwide, impacting approximately 15% of Americans. Current front-line therapeutics for T2D patients include sulfonylureas that act to reduce A1C and/or fasting blood glucose levels, or Metformin that antagonizes the action of glucagon to reduce hepatic glucose production. Next generation glucomodulatory therapeutics target members of the high-affinity glucose transporter Sodium-Glucose-Linked-Transporter (SGLT) family.
