Remogliflozin etabonate (INN/USAN) is a drug of the gliflozin class for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ("NASH") and type 2 diabetes. Remogliflozin was discovered by the Japanese company Kissei Pharmaceutical and is currently being developed by BHV Pharma, a wholly owned subsidiary of North Carolina, US-based Avolynt, and Glenmark Pharmaceuticals through a collaboration with BHV. In 2002, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) received a license to use it. From 2002 to 2009, GSK carried out a significant clinical development program for the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus in various nations across the world and obesity in the UK. Remogliflozin etabonate's pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical dose regimens were characterized in 18 Phase I and 2 Phase II investigations. Due to financial concerns, GSK stopped working on remogliflozin and sergliflozin, two further SGLT2 inhibitors that were licensed to the company, in 2009. Remogliflozin was commercially launched first in India by Glenmark in May 2019.
