Drug Overview
Ertugliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The drug was originally developed by Pfizer, until the company entered into a licensing agreement with Merck & Co in 2013, under which Merck receives 60% of revenue and costs in the US and EU, and Pfizer receives milestone payments. Pfizer’s partnership with Merck also allows for fixed-dose combinations with Januvia (sitagliptin; Merck & Co).
Ertugliflozin exerts its pharmacological effect by inhibiting SGLT-2, which is expressed almost exclusively in the kidney. Located in the proximal tubule, the SGLT-2 transport system is involved in the reabsorption of glucose. As such, inhibition of the transport protein prevents glucose reabsorption, resulting in excretion through the urine.
