Bioinformatics study of the pharmacological mechanism of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease based on network pharmacology. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore)) - "Molecular docking results showed that ertugliflozin had the strongest intermolecular binding to EGFR and that ertugliflozin improved the viability of high-glucose (HG)/high-lipid combined hypoxia-reoxygenation-injured (HG/HP + H/R) cardiomyocytes and inhibited EGFR expression in cardiomyocytes...Molecular docking and cell experiments further confirmed that SGLT2i-ERTU improves HG/HP + H/R myocardial cell injury by targeting EGFR. Our study deepened the pharmacological mechanism of SGLT2is in the treatment of T2DM combined with CHD and provided a new perspective and therapeutic basis for future experimental research and healthcare."

Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors and Risk of Heart Failure Hospitalization in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. (PubMed, Cureus) - "This benefit was consistent across most agents, including empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and sotagliflozin, while ertugliflozin showed a nonsignificant trend in the same direction. The results demonstrate that SGLT2 inhibitors confer clinically meaningful cardiorenal protection that is recognized to occur through mechanisms largely independent of glucose lowering, reinforcing their role as cornerstone agents in the management of T2DM. These findings highlight the importance of prioritizing SGLT2 inhibitors in contemporary diabetes care to reduce the global burden of heart failure (HF)."

ASSESSING MORTALITY IN PATIENTS WITH IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS RECEIVING SGTL-2 INHIBITORS (CHEST 2025) - "Patients had to be diagnosed with IPF and be on maintenance therapy with either pirfenidone or nintedanib...The SGLT2i cohort was composed of patients using one of the following medications: Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin, Empagliflozin or Ertugliflozin... There was no statistically significant difference observed between comparison groups at 1-, 3- and 5-year follow-up. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: While SGLT-2 inhibitors are well established in the management of heart failure and diabetes, with documented mortality benefits, and while several existing in vitro and animal model studies suggest potential antifibrotic effects, this study did not demonstrate a reduction in mortality for IPF patients receiving SGLT-2i therapy. Despite these results, there are several limitations to the study and further investigation may be warranted due to current lack of available options to slow the rate of IPF progression."

Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors for the Primary Prevention of Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Population-Based Target Trial Emulation (ACR Convergence 2025) - "This study aimed to evaluate the effect of treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on the risk of new-onset SARD. This emulated target trial used electronic health records of adults with T2D who initiated either an SGLT2i (canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, or ertugliflozin) or a DPP4i (alogliptin, saxagliptin, linagliptin, or sitagliptin) between 2016 and 2024 from 101 U.S. healthcare organizations. Treatment with SGLT2i, especially dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, was associated with reduced risks of developing various SARD compared to DPP4i. These findings provide evidence for the broader immunomodulatory effects of SGLT2i. Prospective studies on the roles of SGLT2i in attenuating inflammation and autoimmunity are warranted to validate the finding."
