SGLT2 inhibitors increase endothelial VE-cadherin level reduced by 25-hydroxycholesterol
Background and Aims: The exact mechanism of beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors (empagliflozin-empa, canagliflozin-cana, dapagliflozin-dapa) in patients with cardiovascular diseases remains not fully understood. In our previous studies we have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly improve endothelial integrity interrupted by 25-hydroxychoelsterol (25-OHC). The aim of this study was to assess whether SGLT2 inhibitors affect VE-cadherin level, the most important endothelial-specific protein that maintains endothelial barrier functions.

SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin alleviates vascular calcification through suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome
CONCLUSIONS: Our study for the first time demonstrates that CANA exerts a protective effect on vascular calcification at least partially via suppressing NLRP3 signaling pathway. Therefore, supplementation of CANA as well as inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome presents a potential therapy for vascular calcification.PMID:37523743 | DOI:10.1093/cvr/cvad119 (Source: Cell Research)

A surfactant-based quasi-hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent for dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction of gliflozins from environmental water samples using UHPLC/fluorescence detection
Talanta. 2023 Jul 22;266(Pt 1):124950. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124950. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the anticipated exceptional properties of deep eutectic solvents (DES) in microextraction techniques, their self-aggregation behaviour has only been sporadically studied in the previous literature. In the presented study, a novel surfactant-based quasi-hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (DES) is synthesized and utilized in dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) of three gliflozins in environmental water samples as a proof-of-concept examples. The synthesized DES is composed of benzalkonium chloride (BZK...

Clinical Efficacy of Different Doses of Canagliflozin Combined with Metformin in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes: Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: The meta-analysis demonstrates that high doses of canagliflozin combined with metformin may be potentially effective in patients with T2DM, as evidenced by LS means of HbA1c and FPG, and the above conclusions need to be verified by more high-quality studies.PMID:37499149 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 5668: Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of Canagliflozin against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
In conclusion, canagliflozin exhibits antibacterial activity against MRSA by affecting bacterial metabolism, inhibiting its biofilm formation, distorting the bacterial cell wall, and altering the gene expression of biofilm formation and its virulence. Our study reveals the antibacterial activity of canagliflozin against MRSA, providing a new reference for treating diabetic foot infections. (Source: Molecules)
