Sergliflozin inhibits subtype 2 of the sodium-glucose transport proteins (SGLT2), which is responsible for at least 90% of the glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Blocking this transporter causes blood glucose to be eliminated through the urine.[3][4]
Chemistry
Etabonate refers to the ethyl carbonate group. The remaining structure, which is the active substance, is called sergliflozin.
