Inhibiting renal glucose reabsorption through the sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) offers an insulin-independent alternative to controlling blood glucose concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes.{22761,22419} The majority of glucose is reabsorbed from glomerular filtrate by SGLT2, which is predominantly expressed in the kidney S1 segment of the proximal tubule. Empagliflozin is a potent SGLT2 inhibitor (IC50 = 3.1 nM) that demonstrates a high degree of selectivity (>2,500-fold) over SGLT1, 4, 5, and 6.{29653} In clinical trials of patients with type 2 diabetes, empagliflozin was shown to lower fasting and postprandial glucose levels by increasing total glucose excretion, improving β-cell function, and shifting substrate utilization from glucose to lipids.{29652}
