74772-77-3

White Cyrstalline Solid

Displays antihyperglycemic activity in genetically obese mice. It is a selective PPARg agonist

ChEBI: An aromatic ether that consists of 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione with position 5 substituted by a 4-[(1-methylcyclohexyl)methoxy]benzyl group. A selective PPARgamma agonist.

Selective agonist at PPAR γ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ ). Activates PPAR γ with an EC 50 value of 3 μ M in vitro , and is at least 33-fold selective over PPAR α and δ . Antihyperglycemic in vivo .

Ciglitazone (74772-77-3) is a PPARγ agonist (EC50=3 μM). Stimulates adipogenesis in human mesenchymal stem cells. Ciglitazone inhibits HUVEC differentiation and angiogenesis. Cell permeable.

A potent thiazolinedione (TDZ) type anti-hyperglycemic agent and a selective PPARγ agonist (EC₅₀ = 3 μM).

Ciglitizone belongs to the class of thiazolidinediones and is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist. It exhibits anti-diabetic activity. Ciglitizone has the potential to treat tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-refractory high-grade urothelial cancers.
