Abstract

Canagliflozin (1), a novel inhibitor for sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), has been developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. To investigate the effect of replacement of the phenyl ring in 1 with heteroaromatics, C-glucosides 2 were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against SGLT2. Of these, 3-pyridyl, 2-pyrimidyl or 5-membered heteroaryl substituted derivatives showed highly potent inhibitory activity against SGLT2, while 5-pyrimidyl substitution was associated with slightly reduced activity. In particular, 2g (TA-3404) had remarkable anti-hyperglycemic effects in high-fat diet fed KK (HF-KK) mice.
