Aim: The sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) plays an important role in renal glucose reabsorption, thus serves as a new target for the treatment of diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate SHR3824 as a novel selective SGLT2 inhibitor and to characterize its in vivo effects on glucose homeostasis. The effects of chronic administration of SHR3824 on peripheral insulin sensitivity and pancreatic β-cell function were also investigated.

Methods: CHO-K1 cells stably expressing the full-length MrgD receptor and a calcium-sensitive dye were used to develop an HTS assay based on intracellular calcium influx. This method was applied to large-scale screening of a library containing 8000 synthetic compounds and natural product extracts.
