(1<i>S</i>)-1,5-Anhydro-1-[5-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-2-methoxy-4-methylphenyl]-1-thio-<scp>d</scp>-glucitol (TS-071) is a Potent, Selective Sodium-Dependent Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitor for Type 2 Diabetes Treatment
Derivatives of a novel scaffold, C-phenyl 1-thio-d-glucitol, were prepared and evaluated for sodium-dependentglucose cotransporter (SGLT) 2 and SGLT1 inhibition activities. Optimization of substituents on the aromatic rings afforded five compounds with potent and selectiveSGLT2 inhibition activities. The compounds were evaluated for in vitro human metabolic stability, human serum protein binding
