Rosiglitazone hydrochloride

Rosiglitazone hydrochloride (BRL 49653 hydrochloride) is a selective, orally active PPARγ agonist with EC50s of 30 nM, 100 nM and 60 nM for PPARγ1, PPARγ2, and PPARγ, respectively. Rosiglitazone hydrochloride binds to PPARγ with a Kd of approximately 40 nM. Rosiglitazone hydrochloride is also an activator of TRPC5 (EC50=~30 μM) and an inhibitor of TRPM3.

How to use

In Vitro:

Rosiglitazone is a potent and selective activator of PPARγ, with EC50s of 30 nM and 100 nM for PPARγ1 and PPARγ2, respectively, and a Kd of appr 40 nM for PPARγ. Rosiglitazone (BRL49653, 0.1, 1, 10 μM) promotes differentiation of C3H10T1/2 stem cells to adipocytes. Rosiglitazone (Compound 6) activates PPARγ, with an EC50 of 60 nM[2]. Rosiglitazone (1 μM) activates PPARγ, which binds to NF-α1 promoter to activate gene transcription in neurons. Rosiglitazone (1 μM) also protects Neuro2A cells and hippocampal neurons against oxidative stress, and up-regulates BCL-2 expression in an NF-α1-dependent manner. Rosiglitazone completely inhibits TRPM3 with IC50 values of 9.5 and 4.6 μM against nifedipine- and PregS-evoked activity, but such effects are not via PPARγ. Rosiglitazone inhibits TRPM2 at higher concentration, with an IC50 of appr 22.5 μM. Rosiglitazone is a strong stimulator of TRPC5 channels, with an EC50 of ~30 μM.

In Vivo:

Rosiglitazone (5 mg/kg, p.o.) decreases the serum glucose in diabetic rats. Rosiglitazone also decreases IL-6, TNF-α, and VCAM-1 levels in diabetic group. Rosiglitazone in combination with losartan increases glucose compared to diabetic and Los-treated groups. Rosiglitazone significantly ameliorates endothelial dysfunction indicated by a significantly lower contractile response to PE and Ang II and enhancement of ACh-provoked relaxation in aortas isolated from diabetic rats.
