The present invention provides a 1-thio-D-glucitol compound of the following formula, which shows the action of inhibiting the activity of SGLT2, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound, or a hydrate of the compound or the salt; and a pharmaceutical comprising such a compound as an active ingredient, especially, a pharmaceutical for preventing or treating diabetes, diabetes-related disease, or diabetic complication. The invention also provides a method for producing the 1-thio-D-glucitol compound and its intermediate.
(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
