Canagliflozin, a sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-I), is known as an antidiabetic agent. Canagliflozin was selected for the phenotypic screening based on the given fact of high expression levels of SGLT2 in HCC cell lines. Initially, the antiproliferative ability of canagliflozin against HCC cell lines was assessed to show inhibitory profile in a dose-dependent manner along with induction of apoptosis at G2/M phase with elevated levels of caspase-3 and inhibition of ERK. This suggested that canagliflozin can inhibit glycolytic metabolism including glucose uptake, lactate, and intracellular ATP production.
