NSC 55655 (5-[(2-Nitrophenyl)methylene]-2,4-thiazolidinedione) 具有抗菌和抗氧化活性,抑制 B. subtilis, S. aureus, K. pneumonia, E. coli, S. typhi ,A. niger 和 C. albicans 的增殖,可用于糖尿病。
Anti-diabetic drugs of the thiazolidinedione (TZD) structural class as well as α-lipoic acid activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), a nuclear transcription factor that controls glucose metabolism and lipid homeostasis. CAY10506 is a hybrid lipoic acid-TZD derivative that transactivates human PPARγ with an EC50 value of 10 μM.
Lobeglitazone, also known as CKD-501, is an antidiabetic drug in the thiazolidinedione class of drugs. As an agonist for both PPARα and PPARγ, it works as an insulin sensitizer by binding to the PPAR receptors in fat cells and making the cells more responsive to insulin.
