Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (T2D) is an emerging health burden in the USand worldwide, impacting approximately 15% of Americans. Current front-line therapeutics for T2D patients include sulfonylureas that act to reduce A1C and/or fasting blood glucose levels, or Metformin that antagonizes the action of glucagon to reduce hepatic glucose production. Next generation glucomodulatory therapeutics target members of the high-affinity glucose transporter Sodium-Glucose-Linked-Transporter (SGLT) family.

The beneficial cardiorenal outcomes of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been substantiated by multiple clinical trials, resulting in increased interest in the multifarious pathways by which their mechanisms act. The principal effect of SGLT2i (-flozin drugs) can be appreciated in their ability to block the SGLT2 protein within the kidneys, inhibiting glucose reabsorption, and causing an associated osmotic diuresis. This ameliorates plasma glucose elevations and the negative cardiorenal sequelae associated with the latter.
