Drug Potency against Target Dapagliflozin Drug Info EC50 = 1.12 nM/L [552801]
Action against Disease Model Dapagliflozin Dapagliflozin potently and selectively inhibited h uMan SGLT2 versus h uMan SGLT1, the major cotransporter of glucose in the gut, and did not significantly inhibit facilitative glucose transport in h uMan adipocytes. In vivo, dapagliflozin acutely induced renal glucose excretion in normal and diabetic rats, improved glucose tolerance in normal rats, and reduced hyperglycemiain Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats after single oral doses ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/kg. [552801] Drug Info
The Effect of Target Knockout, Knockdown or Genetic Variations The L. mexicana genome encodes three related glucose transporter genes, designated LmGT1, LmGT2,and LmGT3.A knockout of this gene cluster, generated by homologous gene replacement, was unable to replicate as amastigotes(the mammalian life-cycle stage) inside murine macrophages,to survive as the culture form of amastigotes, or to induce lesions in BALB/c mice (R. Burchmore and G. Coombs, personal communication) [552801]
