Sotagliflozin

Sotagliflozin, sold under the brand name Inpefa among others, is a medication used to reduce the risk of death due to heart failure.

[1] Sotagliflozin was approved for medical use in the European Union in April 2019, as Zynquista, for the treatment for type 1 diabetes,[2] and in the United States in May 2023,[3] to reduce the risk of death due to heart failure.

[1][3] Sotaglifozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 1 and 2 inhibitor that reduces both postprandial glucose and insulin levels by delaying intestinal glucose absorption, decreases gastric inhibitory polypeptide, and elevations in glucagon-like peptide and peptide yy levels are consistent with local inhibition of intestinal SGLT1.

[5] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved sotagliflozin based on evidence from two clinical trials of 11,806 total participants with heart failure or with type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and other cardiovascular risk factors.

[3] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) refused its approval for use in combination with insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
