Clinical Trials

Several completed Phase 1 and Phase 3 clinical trials, sponsored by Astellas Pharma Europe B.V. and Astellas Pharma Inc, have evaluated ipragliflozin for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and clinical pharmacology assessment. Early-phase studies focused on evaluating glucose homeostasis, pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, and drug interactions in healthy volunteers and diabetic cohorts. Additionally, Phase 3 research investigated the therapeutic efficacy and safety of ipragliflozin combined with metformin for managing glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Ipragliflozin L-Proline is a highly potent and selective inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) that binds to SGLT2 in the renal proximal tubules, thereby blocking active luminal glucose reabsorption back into systemic circulation. By suppressing renal glucose reuptake, the compound enhances urinary glucose excretion and lowers plasma glucose levels, providing a targeted therapeutic approach to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
