Background:

Ertugliflozin (PF-04971729) is a potent, selective and orally active inhibitor of the sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), with an IC50 of 0.877 nM for h-SGLT2[1]. A drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus[2].

Ertugliflozin (PF-04971729) demonstrates >2000-fold selectivity for SGLT2 inhibition (relative to SGLT1) in vitro[3].

Ertugliflozin (PF-04971729) reveals a concentration-dependent glucosuria after oral administration to rats[3].
