Pioglitazone

A thiazolidinedione (glitazone) antidiabetic for type 2 diabetes: it activates the nuclear receptor PPAR-gamma and makes tissues more sensitive to insulin. Patented in 1985, it has been in use since 1999. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, metabolites, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?Research into how it works led in 2004 to the discovery of mitoNEET, an outer mitochondrial membrane protein that binds it: the name comes from the amino acid sequence Asn-Glu-Glu-Thr (NEET).
