N-desmethyl Rosiglitazone is a major metabolite of rosiglitazone , a potent and selective PPARγ ligand present in formulations that have been used to treat type 2 diabetes. Rosiglitazone is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2C8 to form N-desmethyl rosiglitazone.
Rosiglitazone (BRL 49653) potassium is a potent and selective PPARγ agonist (EC 50: 60 nM, Kd: 40 nM), administered orally. It also serves as an activator of TRPC5 (EC 50: 30 μM) and an inhibitor of TRPM3. This compound, widely used in research, has shown promise in investigating obesity, diabetes, senescence, and ovarian cancer [1] [2] [4] [7].
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are lipid-activated transcription factors often used as drug targets for the treatment of metabolic disorders. CAY10573 is a PPAR agonist that displays potent binding at PPARα, γ, and δ with IC50 values of 113, 50, and 223 nM, respectively. It potently transactivates PPARα, γ, and δ with EC50 values of 8, 70, and 500 nM, respectively. CAY10573 demonstrates stronger binding and functional activity for PPARγ than the antidiabetic compound rosiglitazone (IC50 = 92 nM; EC50 = 220 nM).
Cajanin has potential hypolipidemic effects,possibly via up-regulating the ABCA1 protein expression,subsequently resulting in increased macrophage cholesterol efflux and RCT, it can significantly improve basal glucose uptake in HepG2 cells, its improving effect is concentration dependent, it exhibits effects stronger than that of rosiglitazone, which has been used as an antidiabetic drug.
Resveratrol-3-O-sulfate is a metabolite of resveratrol . In U-937 cells stimulated with LPS, resveratrol-3-O-sulfate (1 μM) decreases the expression of IL-1α, IL-1β, and IL-6 by 61.2, 76.6, and 42.2%, respectively, and decreases the release of TNF-α and IL-6 to similar levels as resveratrol. It has antioxidant activity in a Trolox assay, dose-dependently decreases growth of Caco-2 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells when used at concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 μM, and induces apoptosis at concentrations of 25 and 50 μM. Resveratrol-3-O-sulfate also displaces rosiglitazone from the outer mitochondrial protein mitoNEET (IC50 = 3.36 μM for the human protein), indicating that it binds to the thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD) binding pocket.
