Overview

Sotagliflozin is a dual inhibitor of SGLT1 and SGLT2, the first of its kind, which is approved for use in the EU, in combination with insulin, to improve glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and a BMI ≥27 kg/m. Its potency in inhibiting SGLT2 is similar to that of other SGLT2 inhibitors, such as canagliflozin and dapagliflozin, but its potency in inhibiting SGLT1 is >10-fold higher than its predecessors. The added inhibition of intestinal SGLT1 delays glucose absorption in the distal small intestine and colon, thereby reducing post-prandial glucose levels. Sotagliflozin was approved by the EMA under the brand name "Zynquista" on April 26, 2019, for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. A similar approval has also been sought in the US, but the FDA has since published a proposal to refuse the approval because the data submitted did not show that it was safe under the proposed conditions of use. On March 22, 2022, the marketing authorization of sotagliflozin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus was withdrawn by the EMA due to commercial reasons. In May 2023, sotagliflozin was approved by the FDA to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and heart failure in patients with high risk factors.[]
