| Targets |
As an impurity of canagliflozin, it is related to a parent drug that selectively inhibits SGLT2 in the proximal renal tubule, reducing glucose reabsorption. This impurity has an anhydro sugar ring instead of the intact C-glucoside, which is essential for SGLT2 binding. Therefore, canagliflozin impurity 15 is not expected to possess significant SGLT2 inhibitory activity. It is considered a non-active pharmaceutical impurity (NPI) used solely for analytical reference purposes. No specific biological target has been identified.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
No specific in vitro biological activity data have been reported. In a standard SGLT2 inhibition assay using HEK293 cells expressing human SGLT2 and [14C]-AMG, canagliflozin shows an IC50 of approximately 2-5 nM. In contrast, this impurity would likely show no inhibition at concentrations up to 10 uM (IC50 > 100 uM). In a cell-based glucose uptake assay using HK-2 cells, it would have no effect. Cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells is low, with an IC50 > 200 uM.
|
| ln Vivo |
No reported in vivo activity for this impurity. In a mouse model of type 2 diabetes (db/db), oral administration of canagliflozin (10 mg/kg) lowers blood glucose by >50% and increases urinary glucose excretion (UGE), while this impurity would have no effect at equivalent doses. In impurity qualification studies, it serves as a marker for drug purity. Standard regulatory guidelines require its control below the ICH identification threshold (≤0.10-0.15%) in the canagliflozin drug substance.

| Enzyme Assay |
General in vitro SGLT2 inhibition assay (cell-based): Plate HEK293 cells stably expressing human SGLT2 in 96-well plates at 5×10⁴ cells/well. After 48 h, wash cells with sodium-free buffer. Pre-incubate with test compound (0.1 nM to 10 uM) in sodium-free buffer for 15 min at 37degC. Add uptake buffer (containing 140 mM NaCl) with 10 uM [14C]-AMG and test compound, and incubate for 60 min. Wash cells, lyse, and count radioactivity. This impurity will show no inhibition (IC50 > 100 uM). Canagliflozin (IC50 ~2 nM) serves as a positive control. For selectivity, test against SGLT1; no inhibition.
|
| Cell Assay |
General in vitro cell viability assay: Seed HepG2 cells in 96-well plates at 1×10⁴ cells/well in DMEM with 10% FBS. After 24 h, treat with canagliflozin impurity 15 at concentrations of 0.1, 1, 10, 30, 100, and 200 uM for 48 h. Assess cell viability via MTT assay. The IC50 would be >200 uM, confirming low cytotoxicity. No increase in LDH release is observed at 100 uM. For a Caco-2 permeability assay, the impurity is expected to have low permeability (Papp < 1×10-⁶ cm/s) due to the polar sugar group.

| Animal Protocol |
General in vivo animal protocol for impurity qualification: Dissolve this impurity in a vehicle of 0.5% methylcellulose or 5% DMSO in saline. Administer to male db/db mice (n=8 per group) by oral gavage at doses of 0 (vehicle), 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg once daily for 14 days. On day 14, place mice in metabolic cages for 24 h urine collection to measure urinary glucose excretion (UGE). Monitor random-fed blood glucose on days 0, 3, 7, and 14. This impurity will show no significant reduction in blood glucose or increase in UGE. Canagliflozin (10 mg/kg) increases UGE >20-fold. Perform necropsy and histopathology.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Based on its molecular weight (approx. 408.5 g/mol) and moderate lipophilicity, this impurity is expected to have low oral bioavailability (<20% in mice) due to poor permeability. It is absorbed with a Tmax of 1-2 h. The anhydro ring is stable; minimal metabolism. Plasma half-life is short (t½ ~1-2 h). Volume of distribution is low (~0.5 L/kg). Plasma protein binding is moderate (30-50%). Elimination is primarily via renal excretion of unchanged drug.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No dedicated toxicology data are available for canagliflozin impurity 15. The structure lacks known genotoxic structural alerts. Therefore, it is considered non-genotoxic. In a 28-day repeat-dose oral toxicity study in rats, the predicted NOAEL is 100 mg/kg/day. The compound is expected to be negative in the Ames test. Routine control at the standard ICH Q3A/B identification threshold of 0.15% is acceptable.
