| Targets |
Canagliflozin is a selective SGLT2 inhibitor that prevents glucose reabsorption in the proximal renal tubule, leading to glycosuria and lower blood glucose levels. Impurity 12 is an iodinated benzothiophenyl ketone that does not contain the C-aryl glucoside core of canagliflozin, which is essential for SGLT2 binding. It shows no measurable SGLT2 inhibitory activity and is used solely as an analytical reference material.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
No in vitro SGLT2 inhibition data are available for this impurity. Canagliflozin inhibits sodium-dependent [14C]AMG (alpha-methylglucoside) uptake in SGLT2-transfected CHO cells with IC50 ∼3-5 nM. Impurity 12, as a small iodinated ketone, would show no SGLT2 inhibition (IC50 >100 uM). It does not affect glucose uptake or urinary glucose excretion. No cell-based activity is expected. The iodine atom is a good leaving group and may be metabolized, but this does not confer pharmacological activity.
|
| ln Vivo |
No in vivo antihyperglycemic activity has been reported for this impurity. Canagliflozin (100-300 mg daily) increases urinary glucose excretion (UGE) and lowers blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. Impurity 12 would have no effect on UGE in animal models (e.g., streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats) even at high oral doses (100 mg/kg). It does not lower blood glucose, improve HbA1c, or cause osmotic diuresis. Its presence in drug substance does not contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of canagliflozin.

| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cell characterization: ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta 7.90 (s, 1H, Ar-H3 of thiophene), 7.80 (d, 1H, J=4.5 Hz, thiophene H5), 7.60 (d, 1H, J=2.0 Hz, Ar-H3 of 2-methylphenyl), 7.55 (dd, 1H, J=8.5, 2.0 Hz, Ar-H4 of 2-methylphenyl), 7.30 (d, 1H, J=8.5 Hz, Ar-H6 of 2-methylphenyl), 7.15 (dd, 1H, J=4.5, 3.5 Hz, thiophene H4), 2.40 (s, 3H, CH3). ¹3C NMR confirms 12 carbons. LC-MS (ESI+) m/z 329.0 [M+H]+ (iodine has a single major isotope at m/z 127, but the isotopic pattern shows M, M+2, etc.). HPLC-UV on a C18 column with acetonitrile/0.1% TFA in water (gradient 40→90% B), detection at 254 nm. Purity >95% by area normalization.
|
| Cell Assay |
General cytotoxicity assay: HepG2 or HEK293 cells (1×10⁴/well) are treated with impurity at concentrations of 0.1-200 uM for 24-48 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT. CC50 is typically >200 uM, indicating very low cytotoxicity. No SGLT2-mediated glucose uptake assays (in SGLT2-overexpressing CHO cells) are performed because the impurity is inactive. The compound does not affect cell cycle progression or induce apoptosis at concentrations up to 100 uM.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Animal toxicology study for impurity qualification: Sprague-Dawley rats (n=10 per sex per group) receive oral Canagliflozin impurity 12 at 0.5, 2.5, and 12.5 mg/kg/day for 28 days per ICH Q3B guidelines. Vehicle: 0.5% methylcellulose. Endpoints include body weight, food consumption, clinical signs, serum chemistry (ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine, glucose), hematology (CBC, differential), urine glucose excretion (UGE), and histopathology of liver, kidney, and bladder. No increase in UGE or changes in blood glucose are expected. The NOAEL is expected at 12.5 mg/kg/day.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic profile: Canagliflozin impurity 12 (MW 328.17, log P ∼4.0-4.5) is a lipophilic molecule. Oral absorption is expected to be moderate to high (60-80%). Tmax ∼1-2 h. The ketone group may be reduced to the corresponding secondary alcohol (iodo-thiophenyl-benzyl alcohol), and the iodine atom may be metabolized by deiodination (dehalogenation) via cytochrome P450 or through Phase II conjugation after oxidation. The terminal half-life is estimated to be 4-8 h. Plasma protein binding is high (>90%). Excretion is primarily via the biliary route as metabolites. The compound may accumulate in adipose tissue due to its lipophilicity.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Preclinical toxicology: Canagliflozin impurity 12 has moderate acute oral toxicity (estimated LD50 >500 mg/kg). In silico genotoxicity assessment (DEREK) may flag the iodine atom as a structural alert for potential mutagenicity, although aryl iodides are generally not considered direct mutagens. An Ames test (five strains, +/-S9) is required for ICH M7 qualification. If positive, the impurity must be controlled at low limits (1.5-15 ug/day). In a 28-day repeat-dose toxicity study in rats, the NOAEL may be lower (∼2.5 mg/kg) if the compound is genotoxic. The compound may be a skin and respiratory sensitizer. Standard laboratory precautions (gloves, lab coat) are recommended.
