Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are a group of structurally related PPAR.gamma. agonists with anti-diabetic actions in vivo. Rosiglitazone (BRL49653) is a prototypical TZD and has served as a reference compound for this class of PPAR.gamma. ligands. Pioglitazone is a closely related TZD which also selectively activates PPAR.gamma.-1. Pioglitazone is about one tenth as potent as rosiglitazone, with an EC50 of about 500-600 nM for both human and mouse PPAR.gamma.. In a transactivation assay using COS-1 cells transfected with full length human PPAR.alpha. and RXR.alpha., pioglitazone and rosiglitazone exhibit low level activation of PPAR.alpha. at 1 uM and 5.4- and 4.2-fold activation, respectively, at a concentration of 10 uM.
