Ciglitazone is a potent and selective PPARγ agonist (EC50=3 μM). Ciglitazone inhibits proliferation and differentiation of th17 cells. Ciglitazone is a hypoglycemic agent orally active in the obese-hyperglycemic animal models. Ciglitazone induces apoptosis accompanied by activation of p38 MAPK and nuclear translocation of apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) in opossum kidney (OK) renal epithelial cells.
性状
Solid
体外研究(In Vitro)
Ciglitazone (0-20 μM; 24 hours) induces apoptosis through PPAR-independent mechanism. Ciglitazone causes generation of ROS and an increase in intracellular Ca.

体内研究(In Vivo)
In C57BL/6J-ob/ob mice, Ciglitazone (100 mg/kg/day; 2 days) elicits a drastic fall in blood glucose. Regranulation of islet beta-cells and increased pancreatic insulin content are observed in ob/ob mice treated for 41-44 days with 100 mg/kg/day Ciglitazone.
