Description

General description

Pioglitazone hydrochloride consists of poly-morphs, form I and form II. It is an oral antidiabetic agent, that is a member of the thiazolidinedione group.

Application

Pioglitazone hydrochloride has been used:

• to administer to mice model and treated the hepatoma cell line to study its effect on regulating insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) in diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6 mice
• in drug preparation to analyze its effects on shortening and calcium transport in ventricular myocytes from the Goto-Kakizaki (GK) type 2 diabetic rat
• to treat HepG2 cells with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonists to examine its effect on TOMM40-, APOE- and APOC1-mRNA levels

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pioglitazone hydrochloride is a PPARγ agonist and thiazolidinedione (TZD) anti-diabetic. Pioglitazone is a selective agonist of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) and to a lesser extent PPAR-α.

Pioglitazone hydrochloride is usually used to treat type-II diabetes. It has the ability to block hepatic gluconeogenesis.
