Canagliflozin
Canagliflozin is a novel, potent, and highly selective sodium glucose co-transporter (SGLT) 2 inhibitor [1]. It has been proved that Canagliflozin can increase urine glucose excretion by reducing the renal glucose threshold and by decreasing the filtered glucose re-absorption [2].
Canagliflozin has been shown to inhibit the Na+-mediated 14C-AMG intakes in CHO-hSGLT2, CHO-rat SGLT2 and CHO-mouse SGLT2 with IC50 values of 4.4, 3.7 and 2.0 nM, respectively [1].
Canagliflozin has been reported to reduce the blood glucose (BG) levels dose-dependently in both db/db Mice and Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) Rats. Additionally, canagliflozin has proved to decrease the respiratory exchange ratio, and body weight in DIO mice and ZDF rats [1].
Canagliflozin can be taken orally [1].

General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
Cell experiment:[1] | |
Cell lines |
Rat skeletal muscle cell line L6 |
Reaction Conditions |
10 μM canagliflozin for 15 min incubation |
Applications |
At 10 μM, canagliflozin inhibited the facilitative (non-Na+-linked) glucose transporter-mediated 2-deoxy-glucose uptake in L6 myoblasts by less than 50%. |
Animal experiment:[1] | |
Animal models |
Male C57BL/ksj-db/db hyperglycemic mice |
Dosage form |
0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg Administrated via oral gavage |
Applications |
In db/db mice, single doses of canagliflozin dose-dependently reduced non-fasting blood glucose (BG) concentrations. The onset of the BG-lowering effect after a single dose was rapid, and BG levels in canagliflozin-treated mice (at 1 and 10 mg/kg doses) were significantly different from those of vehicle-treated mice at 1 hour after treatment. This antihyperglycemic effect reached its peak at 6 hours. |
