![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Ertugliflozin was FDA approved to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (in conjunction with diet and exercise) in December 2017. It was approved as a single agent and in two fixed-dose combination products (Segluromet®, ertugliflozin plus the biguanide metformin, and Steglujan®, ertugliflozin plus the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin). |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Ertugliflozin inhibits sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (gene symbol SLC5A2), a protein responsible for renal reabsorption of blood glucose. Inhibition of the transporter promotes urinary excretion of glucose [1,3]. |
