Sergliflozin etabonate

Sergliflozin etabonate (INN/USAN,[1][2] codenamed GW869682X) is an investigational anti-diabetic drug being developed by GlaxoSmithKline.

[citation needed] 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.

The remaining structure, which is the active substance, is called sergliflozin.
