epi-Canagliflozin (CAT: C000594) is an epimeric impurity of Canagliflozin, a sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor used in the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Canagliflozin works by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, leading to increased glucose excretion in the urine and improved glycemic control. epi-Canagliflozin is a closely related compound that may result from a stereochemical alteration during the synthesis of Canagliflozin.
