Sergliflozin etabonate (INN/USAN,[1][2] codenamed GW869682X) is an investigational anti-diabetic drug being developed by GlaxoSmithKline. It did not undergo further development after phase II.[citation needed]

Method of action

Sergliflozin inhibits subtype 2 of the sodium-glucose transport proteins (SGLT2), which is responsible for at least 90% of the glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Blocking this transporter causes blood glucose to be eliminated through the urine.[3][4]

Chemistry

Etabonate refers to the ethyl carbonate group. The remaining structure, which is the active substance, is called sergliflozin.
