Biological Activity:
Remogliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose transport (SGLT2) proteins, which are responsible for glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Blocking this transporter causes blood glucose to be eliminated through the urine. Its prodrug is Remoglifozin etabonate (GSK 189075), investigated as a treatment of anti diabetes type II.
