Application

Ciglitizone has been used as a proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist:
  • to study its effects on cell proliferation in human melanocytes
  • to study its effects on pigmentation and migration of human melanocytes

It also may be used to study its effects on cell cycle and apoptosis in monocytic cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ciglitizone belongs to the class of thiazolidinediones and is a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist. It exhibits anti-diabetic activity. Ciglitizone has the potential to treat tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-refractory high-grade urothelial cancers.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a transcription factor important for adipogenesis and more recently has been shown to be an anticancer target. PPARgamma ligands, including the endogenous ligand 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2) and synthetic ligands like ciglitazone and troglitazone, all induce

Immunomodulation, as a means of immunotherapy, has been studied in major research and clinical laboratories for many years. T-Regulatory (Treg) cell therapy is one of the modulators used in immunotherapy approaches. Similarly, nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ)

Ciglitizone, a class of thiazolidinediones, acts as a potent activator of the adipose differentiation program in established preadipose cell lines. Thiazolidinediones have also been investigated in diabetic patients and have been reported to act as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma ligands. Intramuscular

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to the superfamily of nuclear receptors that heterodimerize with the retinoic X receptor. Agonists of PPAR have been known to play an important role in cellular responses including proliferation and differentiation. The expression and function
