SGLT2 Inhibitors to Slow Chronic Kidney Disease Progression: A Review
Clin Ther. 2023 Nov 9:S0149-2918(23)00406-X. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2023.10.014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: One in seven Americans is at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD). For decades, the only treatment proven to slow progression of CKD was the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. Based on promising secondary kidney outcomes in the cardiovascular outcome trials with sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, kidney outcome trials in patients with CKD were published for canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin.METHODS: A literature search was conducted of PubMed using the MeSH t...

Comparative safety of different recommended doses of sodium –glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
ConclusionCurrent evidence indicated that SGLT-2i did not significantly increase the risk of harm when comparing different doses, except for dapagliflozin 10mg/d, which showed an increased risk of UTI and may be associated with a higher risk of renal impairment and nasopharyngitis. Additionally, compared with placebo and metformin, the risk of GI was notably elevated for empagliflozin 10mg/d, canagliflozin 300mg/d, and dapagliflozin 10mg/d. However, it is important to note that further well-designed RCTs with larger sample sizes are necessary to verify and optimize the current body of evidence.Systematic Review Registratio...

Sodium-glucose cotransporter –2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and the reporting of falls and fractures: an european pharmacovigilance analysis
Conclusion SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with a lower reporting probability of fall than DPP4 inhibitors, in accordance with the reassuring evidence about the safety profile of these drugs. Future researches will help to confirm their long-term safety profile. (Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology)

Canagliflozin ameliorates ulcerative colitis via regulation of TLR4/MAPK/NF- κB and Nrf2/PPAR-γ/SIRT1 signaling pathways
This study aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of canagliflozin as a treatment for UC by addressing possible cellular signals. Acetic acid (AA; 4% v/v) was administered intrarectally to induce colitis. Canagliflozin is given orally at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day. Canagliflozin attenuates inflammation in AA-induced colitis, evidenced by significant and dose-dependently downregulation of p38 MAPK, NF-κB-p65, IKK, IRF3, and NADPH-oxidase as well as colonic levels of IL-6 and IL-1β and MPO enzymatic activity. Canagliflozin mitigates colonic oxidative stress by decreasing MDA content and restoring SOD enzymatic ac...

Canagliflozin + metformin ER for the treatment of type 2 diabetes: the evidence to date
This article reviews the FDC of canagliflozin with metformin extended release.AREAS COVERED: A literature search was performed to identify publications describing the efficacy and safety of canagliflozin and metformin when used separately and in combinations.EXPERT OPINION: Canagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor which has shown benefits in reducing progression of renal disease and heart failure in patients with T2D. There was an increased incidence of amputation with canagliflozin in one study, but canagliflozin results in weight loss and reduction of blood pressure which contribute to the over...
