- Product Overview:
Rosiglitazone is an agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? (PPAR?).{8461} It activates PPAR?1 and PPAR?2 in reporter assays (EC50s = 30 and 100 nM, respectively). Rosiglitazone selectively activates chimeras containing the ligand-binding domains (LBDs) of PPAR? over PPAR? and PPAR? in a cell-based reporter assay at 10 mM. It induces differentiation of C3H10T1/2 stem cells into adipocytes when used at a concentration of 1 µM. Rosiglitazone is also an inhibitor of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4; IC50 = 0.5 µM).{60818,43378} It inhibits RSL3-induced ferroptosis in Gpx4 Cre-lox-expressing mouse embryonic fibroblasts (Pfa1) cells and Pparg knockout (KO) cells and increases survival in a Gpx4 KO mouse model of ferroptosis when used at a concentration of 0.0125 mg/ml in the drinking water. It decreases hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and fasting blood glucose levels in a rat model of type 2 diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ; Item No. 13104) and a high-carbohydrate and high-fat diet when administered at a dose of 4 mg/kg.{16286} Formulations containing rosiglitazone have been used to improve glycemic control in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
