Abstract

Sodium-dependent glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are the current focus on the indication for the management of hyperglycemia in diabetes. Here, a novel series of C-linked indolylxyloside-based inhibitors of SGLT2 has been discovered. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that substituents at the 7-position of the indole moiety and a p-cyclopropylphenyl group in the distal position were necessary for optimum inhibitory activity. The pharmacokinetic study demonstrates that the most potent compound 1i is metabolically stable with a low clearance in rats. In further efficacy study, 1i is found to significantly lower blood glucose levels of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.
