The prevalence of diabetes is growing globally, and with that the size of the diabetes drug market. There are more than 370 million people in the world with diabetes, about 90% of those with Type 2 diabetes.

A compound is being investigated as a Type II diabetes treatment by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, although it is in an early stage of development.

LX4211 is not selective for just sodium glucose co-transporter-2, or SGLT-2 – it also inhibits SGLT-1.1 Inhibiting this second transporter, responsible for the absorption of glucose in the intestines, it also results in an increase in the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), but might be combated by administering the dual inhibitor in combination with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor to prevent it being activated.
