Pharmacology
Sotagliflozin is a dual inhibitor of SGLT2 and SGLT1; SGLT2 inhibition reduces renal reabsorption of glucose and sodium (lowering cardiac pre- and afterload and downregulating sympathetic activity), while SGLT1 inhibition reduces intestinal absorption of glucose and sodium.
Empagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose, lowers the renal threshold for glucose, and increases urinary glucose excretion; it also reduces sodium reabsorption, which may increase tubuloglomerular feedback, reduce intraglomerular pressure, and lower cardiac pre- and afterload.
