Uses
Rosiglitazone (BRL 49653) potassium is an orally active selective PPARγ agonist (EC50: 60 nM, Kd: 40 nM). Rosiglitazone potassium is a TRPC5 activator (EC50: 30 μM) and TRPM3 inhibitor. Rosiglitazone potassium can be used in the research of obesity and diabetes, senescence, ovarian cancer[1][2][4][7].
in vivo
Rosiglitazone potassium (oral administration, 5 mg/kg, daily for 8 weeks) decreases the serum glucose in diabetic rats[5].
Rosiglitazone potassium (intraperitoneal injection, 3 mg/kg/day) ameliorates airway inflammation induced by cigarette smoke via inhibiting the M1 macrophage polarization by activating PPARγ and RXRα in male Wistar rats[6].
Rosiglitazone potassium (intraperitoneal injection, 10 mg/kg, once every 2 days) inhibits subcutaneous ovarian cancer growth in A2780 and SKOV3 mouse subcutaneous xenograft models[7].
| Animal Model: | Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats[5] |
| Dosage: | 5 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Oral administration, daily for 8 weeks. |
| Result: | Decreased IL-6, TNF-α, and VCAM-1 levels in diabetic group.
Displayed lower levels of lipid peroxidation and NOx with an increase in aortic GSH and SOD levels compared to diabetic groups.
|
| Animal Model: | Male Wistar rats[6] |
| Dosage: | 3 mg/kg/day |
| Administration: | Intraperitoneal injection, twice a day, 6 days per week for 12 consecutive weeks |
| Result: | Ameliorated emphysema, elevated PEF, and higher level of total cells, neutrophils and cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) induced by cigarette smoke (CS).
Inhibited CS-induced M1 macrophage polarization and decreased the ratio of M1/M2.
