In this study, the effects of tofogliflozin and Empagliflozin empagliflozin were compared. 24-H accumulated urine Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were administered tofogliflozin (n = 10) and empagliflozin Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (n = 12) were extracted. The clinical parameters and 24-h accumulated urine samples before and after 48 weeks Hematocrit were analyzed with generalized linear mixed model. Results: Both groups showed significant differences in the following parameters: body weight (p < 0.0001), mean blood pressure (p = 0.006), glycated hemoglobinA1c (p < 0.0001), alanine aminotransferase (p < 0.0001), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.0001), homeostatic model assessment 2 (%S) (p = 0.006), volume of 24-h accumulated urine (p < 0.0001), and 24-h urine glucose excretion (p < 0.0001). The hematocrit differed significantly over the study period (p < 0.0001); however, empaglifozin had a sig- nificantly stronger effect on the hematocrit than tofoglifozin (p = 0.007). In contrast, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and 24-h creatinine clearance rates were not sig- nificantly different in both groups. Conclusions: The present results indicate that empagliflozin and tofogliflozin influence certain clinical para- meters similarly; however, empagliflozin significantly increased the hematocrit than tofogliflozin. Differences in the effects of tofogliflozin and empagliflozin might influence cardiovascular events. 1.

  • Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor, Attenuates Body Weight Gain and Fat Accumulation in Diabetic and Obese Animal Models
    OPEN Citation: Nutrition & Diabetes (2014) 4, e125; doi:10.1038/nutd.2014.20 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 2044-4052/14 www.nature.com/nutd ORIGINAL ARTICLE Tofogliflozin, a sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, attenuates body weight gain and fat accumulation in diabetic and obese animal models M Suzuki1, M Takeda1, A Kito1, M Fukazawa1, T Yata2, M Yamamoto1, T Nagata1, T Fukuzawa1, M Yamane1, K Honda1, Y Suzuki1 and Y Kawabe1 OBJECTIVE: Tofogliflozin, a highly selective inhibitor of sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), induces urinary glucose excretion (UGE), improves hyperglycemia and reduces body weight in patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). The mechanisms of tofogliflozin on body weight reduction were investigated in detail with obese and diabetic animal models. METHODS: Diet-induced obese (DIO) rats and KKAy mice (a mouse model of diabetes with obesity) were fed diets containing tofogliflozin. Body weight, body composition, biochemical parameters and metabolic parameters were evaluated. RESULTS: In DIO rats tofogliflozin was administered for 9 weeks, UGE was induced and body weight gain was attenuated. Body fat mass decreased without significant change in bone mass or lean body mass. Food consumption (FC) increased without change in energy expenditure, and deduced total calorie balance (deduced total calorie balance ¼ FC À UGE À energy expenditure) decreased. Respiratory quotient (RQ) and plasma triglyceride (TG) level decreased, and plasma total ketone body (TKB) level increased. Moreover, plasma leptin level, adipocyte cell size and proportion of CD68-positive cells in mesenteric adipose tissue decreased. In KKAy mice, tofogliflozin was administered for 3 or 5 weeks, plasma glucose level and body weight gain decreased together with a reduction in liver weight and TG content without a reduction in body water content.

  • Comparison of Tofogliflozin 20 Mg and Ipragliflozin 50 Mg Used Together
    2017, 64 (10), 995-1005 Original Comparison of tofogliflozin 20 mg and ipragliflozin 50 mg used together with insulin glargine 300 U/mL using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM): A randomized crossover study Soichi Takeishi, Hiroki Tsuboi and Shodo Takekoshi Department of Diabetes, General Inuyama Chuo Hospital, Inuyama 484-8511, Japan Abstract. To investigate whether sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), tofogliflozin or ipragliflozin, achieve optimal glycemic variability, when used together with insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Glargine 300). Thirty patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly allocated to 2 groups. For the first group: After admission, tofogliflozin 20 mg was administered; Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels were titrated using an algorithm and stabilized at 80 mg/dL level with Glargine 300 for 5 days; Next, glucose levels were continuously monitored for 2 days using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM); Tofogliflozin was then washed out over 5 days; Subsequently, ipragliflozin 50 mg was administered; FPG levels were titrated using the same algorithm and stabilized at 80 mg/dL level with Glargine 300 for 5 days; Next, glucose levels were continuously monitored for 2 days using CGM. For the second group, ipragliflozin was administered prior to tofogliflozin, and the same regimen was maintained. Glargine 300 and SGLT2i were administered at 8:00 AM. Data collected on the second day of measurement (mean amplitude of glycemic excursion [MAGE], average daily risk range [ADRR]; on all days of measurement) were analyzed. Area over the glucose curve (<70 mg/dL; 0:00 to 6:00, 24-h), M value, standard deviation, MAGE, ADRR, and mean glucose levels (24-h, 8:00 to 24:00) were significantly lower in patients on tofogliflozin than in those on ipragliflozin.

    Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy (2019) 33:435–442 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10557-019-06892-y ORIGINAL ARTICLE Effect of Tofogliflozin on Systolic and Diastolic Cardiac Function in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Munemitsu Otagaki1 & Koichiro Matsumura1 & Hiromi Kin1 & Kenichi Fujii2 & Hiroki Shibutani2 & Hiroshi Matsumoto 1 & Hiroki Takahashi1 & Haengnam Park1 & Yoshihiro Yamamoto1 & Tetsuro Sugiura1 & Ichiro Shiojima2 Published online: 18 July 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose Recent studies have shown that sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have a favorable effect on cardio- vascular events in diabetic patients. However, the underlying mechanism associated with a favorable outcome has not been clearly identified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of tofogliflozin, SGLT2 inhibitor, on systolic and diastolic cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods We enrolled 26 consecutive T2DM out-patients on glucose-lowering drugs who initiated tofogliflozin and underwent echocardiography before and ≥ 6 months after tofogliflozin administration. During this period, we also enrolled 162 T2DM out- patients taking other glucose-lowering drugs as a control group. Propensity score analysis was performed to match the patient characteristics. As a result, 42 patients (tofogliflozin group 21 patients and control group 21 patients) were finally used for analysis. Left ventricular systolic function was assessed by measuring 2D-echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and diastolic cardiac function by pulsed wave Doppler-derived early diastolic velocity (E/e′). Results There were no significant differences in patient characteristics and echocardiographic parameters at baseline. The change in LVEF from baseline to follow-up was 5.0 ± 6.9% in the tofogliflozin group and − 0.6 ± 5.5% in the control group; difference significant, p = 0.006.

  • Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of 10-Mg Empagliflozin Every Day Versus Every Other Day in Japanese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus : a Pilot Trial

Accordingly, we hypothesized that the administration of empagliflozin every other day might improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, not being inferior to the therapy every day. We investigated the clinical effects and safety of the addition of empagliflozin every day or every other day to type 2 diabetic patients with a poor control in glycemia. Thirteen Japanese patients diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus recruited to this study. Subjects were divided into two groups ; one was treatment with 10 mg of empagliflozin every day (Group A), the other was 10 mg of empagliflozin every other day (Group B). The comparable study of multiple clinical indexes between the 2 groups was made before and 8, 16, and 24 weeks after the treatment. After the treatment for 24 weeks, the HbA1c level was decreased both in group A (from 7.5% 1.1%%to6.5% 0.8%%) and in group B (from 7.6% 0.8%%to 7.2% 0.5%%).
