Drugs in Clinical Pipeline: GSK-1614235

GSK-1614235 [3-{[3-(4-{[3-(ß-D-Glucopyranosyloxy)-5-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methyl}-3-methylphenoxy)propyl]amino}-2,2-dimethylpropanamide] is a potent and selective inhibitor of SGLT1. It has inhibition constant (Ki) values of 27 and 8170 nM for human (h) SGLT1 and hSGLT2, respectively. GSK-1614235 is an analog of KGA-2727 and has nearly 2 fold more specificity for SGLT1 than KGA-2727. Also, this specific behaviour towards SGLT1 makes GSK-1614235 an unique inhibitor compared with other molecules that primarily inhibit renal glucose reabsorption via SGLT2 or have dual effects on SGLT1 and SGLT2 [1].
