Henagliflozin is a pharmaceutical drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.[1] In China, it is approved for adult patients with type 2 diabetes to improve the glycemic control.[2][3]

Henagliflozin, like other drugs of the gliflozin class, inhibits the transporter protein sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) which leads to a reduction in blood glucose levels.[4]

In a 26-week placebo-controlled trial of type 2 diabetics, telomere length significantly lengthened, the IGF-1 pathway was inhibited, and immune system function was improved in the henagliflozin group compared to the placebo group.[5]
